Ok LeBron....we get it

Here we go again with this LeBron stuff. Sometimes I seriously question if the things that come out of his mouth are not 100% scripted. It has to be....no one of that stature can be so unaware. A few days ago LeBron James started a buzz when he said that he doesn't rule out a possible return to Cleveland some day. Really? Only boo boo the fool would believe that, so why would he say it? Because that's what LeBron does!! He's gonna make you like him...even if you hate him for it.

LeBron loves to be liked. He loved the courtship and media coverage of his pending free agency. I'll throw New York a wink, tell Cleveland that I love her. I'll even give New Jersey a pity date. I'm already dating Miami ...but we can still be friends can't we? Um...NO!! That's literally like dumping your girlfriend, then asking her to forgive and forget in the event that you possibly want her back some day....down the road. Why in the world would LeBron hint that he would want to be anywhere else but Miami for the remainder of his career? Because that's what LeBron does! (Not four...not five...not six...remember that?) Think it's not a calculated move by James then check out this direct quote when asked what Miami fans should think about his comments about returning to Cleveland some day...

"But it's all about this season for me and it's all about playing with this Miami Heat team and trying to win an NBA championship. The fans of Miami shouldn't be worried about anything at this point."

At this point?

When should the Miami fans start to worry...when it's opt out time again? This is the kind of stuff that makes the Kendrick Perkins of the world hot under the collar. A need to be "accepted" by Cleveland fans in the event that he returns home to play again. Meanwhile...his current teammates will have to answer, deflect, and defend the actions of James for the remainder of the season. LeBron James is one of the best athletes in the world and seems to be good people. But like in everyday life...a "need" to be liked will turn people off. LeBron is not being picked on....he asks for the attention. He brings this on himself. follow @plcolter
