LeBron James pregame introduction in Cleveland

[Oneofthosefatguys]

LeBron took one of the worst teams in the history of the NBA to the finals.

[feltedricky1]

drew carey at 1:50

[TheMultiFame]

i love how lebron shut cleveland up and made tons of shots

[BIGdreamer1012]

To anyone wondering why the fans cheered for Z ... He may be the most beloved athlete in the history of Cleveland sports

[FernaTION133]

Fuckin assholes... 

[10feardabeard]

most hyped regular season basketball game ever

[BoxCarBoy12]

Cavs fans are lame. LeBron owes Cleveland nothing, where he wants to go is none of your business.

[vdiazjrvicente]

Lebron- Booed Bosh-Booed big Z- cheer Wade- booed Arroyo- cavs fans- who the fuck are you??

[TheLakerKingdom]

1:53 Drew Carey in the background!

[dwadefan4lyfe2]

LBJ is coming back to CLE

[rumblefighterhysf]

*Cleveland Team watching Pre-game practice*

Cleveland: Shit, we're screwed.

[xdbzfanx]

@bullsfan23331 are you fucking kidding me? He quit? He chose to move teams cuz we all know he wasnt winning shit in Cleveland being a one man team featuring mo Williams and delonte west he brought life to Cleveland fans for seven years and they repair him with boos selfish brats. Now they wonder why they never win shit

[NasKingston]

@jordanuserhats2 dont nobody want his wack ass back

[MrKJohn21]

Star Wars music very fitting

[iltornado3108]

@finalfatasyfreak49 but some of you might have overreacted a little

[hazeleyedqtpie06]

@finalfatasyfreak49 would you have rather him just left, its the owners fault, you had 7 years to get lebron some legit help and you go get antawn jamison and expect it to be good, thats pathetic

[cocainmonster]

Why The Hell did they cheer Z

[clutchdylan1]

whats a Cleveland? i thought Cleveland was that guy who used to be on family guy?

[jordanuserhats2]

And Cleveland fans aren't sad cuz he had an ESPN special saying he was going to Miami, he said nothing disrespectful about Cleveland, he ddnt say anything bad about the Cavaliers, Cavs fans are just jealous he's in Miami now. I bet if he decided to leave Miami right now and sign with the Cavaliers again, EVERYONE in Cleveland would be so happy and act like he never left. And don;t say he is a hometown hero, he's from AKRON not CLEVELAND.

[jordanuserhats2]

They only boo the great ones!! nobody wouldve cared if he was a nobody sitting at the end of the bench, but EVERYONE knows LeBron is gonna be one of the greatest players of all time, I bet if LeBron wouldve said "I'm taking my talents to New York, or Los Angeles, or Chicago, or BACK TO CLEVELAND." The same cities that are booing him wouldve been the first people in line to buy a LeBron James Knicks jersey, or Lakers jersey or Bulls jersey and wouldve been cheering for him like crazy.

[skully720]

Lmao first person to be announced (Lebron) plays darth vaders theme, and goes like this, BOOOOOO!!!... BOOOOOO!!!!! they call Z* WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! next* booooo!!! Next* (mixed of woo's and boo's).... Fkn priceless haha

[madtexan89]

So...which is worse? LeBron going to Miami or Art Modell taking the Browns to Baltimore?

[sammy8768594]

LOL THEY CHEER ILGAUSKAS xD!!

[666Raiderpride]

I think using the "He went on ESPN and put on a show" bullshit excuse is lame. Your just mad your franchise left your sorry ass program and should boo your whole damn management for trying to lean on he'll come back cuz he is from ohio so we'll pay him less bull. You should be happy he's leaving to a place that can give him championships and begin his run to the hall... Fuck haters do work LeBron!

[kozysnacker]

Does Cleveland always play the Imperial March (Darth Vader's theme) for visitors or just this one time for the Heat?

[Kris96431]

@finalfatasyfreak49 yeah, lebron is the opposite of kobe

[doop408]

they were booing Zydrunas Ilgauskas for leaving them with lebron, duh...

[93stormer]

Amazing the way the fans suddenly stopped booing when Ilgauskus was introduced and cheered for him, then immediately started again when they introduced D-Wade.

[zeekhunter]

LOL, the cheer on Big Z was like "Yey! Thank God Big Z is not in the cavs anymore" hahaahah XD

[veganisextremelygood]

@zeekhunter THEY DID NOT SAY THAT OR ELSE THEY WOULD HAVE BOOED HIM TOO!

[zeekhunter]

@veganisextremelygood Yah, Of course...I'm just reversing the crowd reaction to Big Z...=)

[ThefRoWoNdEr]

I knew they would cheer Big Z!

[yoyo95333]

fuck lebron

[Spimon]

@finalfatasyfreak49 but he was a free agent...

[TheNBAfan101]

Um, I don't get why they boo LeBron and don't boo Big Z after he left at the same time

[KingJonYill]

@TheNBAfan101 Because he didn't go on national television and say fuck off to Clevland.

[bastard509]

@TheNBAfan101 cuse big Z has played hes entire career in cleveland,and only 1 season in miami ,after that hes retired.

[JeXKJY5]

@TheNBAfan101 Seriously?! You can't see the difference? Big Z wasn't going to make any difference staying in Cleveland. He didn't hold an hour long ESPN special so he could rip the Cavs on National Television. He played alot of great years and Cleveland and had given the Cavs all he had. Don't forget that the Cavs traded him away for Antawn Jamison, which he was hurt by. Should I keep going?

[BullsFan23331]

@TheNBAfan101 big z spent many hard working years in cleveland. he gave his best. lebron quit after cleveland did everything for them and big z is just big z

[TheNBAfan101]

@BullsFan23331 LEBRON QUIT AFTER NOBODY BUT BIG Z AND MIKE BROWN HELPED HIM

[RonaldoLT]

@TheNBAfan101 Umm maybe because he left only to win a deserved ring, before he retired? He's hailed as a legend in Cleveland if you're not aware and is now back there again doing some sort of background work

[colossalko]

@TheNBAfan101 Because they were bitter about losing him when they tried everything except get a good supporting cast to keep him.

[TheLakerKingdom]

@TheNBAfan101 It's the way he left that was different. Remember, Cleveland initially traded Big Z. But LeBron dumped on their faces and left via "The Decision"

[MJohnnyboy]

@TheNBAfan101 Because Big Z stayed much longer in Cleveland and went through much tougher times and showed his respect to the Cavaliers organization. Lebron smacked Cleveland in the face and rubbed it in them the next day. You tell me why Lebron was booed and Big Z wasn't.

[Kb8dw3m3]

@TheNBAfan101 Big z played for the cavs for 14 years thats the difference.

[DyNaMiiKex]

@TheNBAfan101 he didn't make a tv show about it.. ;)

[P12elliott]

@TheNBAfan101 z was a great can, and i guess he didn't leave in the fashion that lebron did, well the website full of how and when to boo lebron said to cheer for z

[P12elliott]

@P12elliott not can cav

[MasonFried429]

@TheNBAfan101 because after about 13 seasons, Z gave the cavs all he could. He left at the same time but he did it respectively, writing a letter to cleveland and all the fans and thanking everyone for his time in Cleveland.

[TheAymanhawk23]

@TheNBAfan101 Z was with them all his career and didnt do that dumbass "desicion" thin gon ESPN clevelnd fans are loyal to Z

[Josh1ize]

@TheNBAfan101

because they knew that big Z deserved a title shot

[battleax86]

@TheNBAfan101 Because he wanted to stay in Cleveland and the Cavs cut him anyway...

[XxSwaggaJacksonxX]

@TheNBAfan101 It is pretty hypocritical, but probably because he's been there 12+ seasons and they thought he was more loyal? I guess

[sweet1]

@finalfatasyfreak49 just making a deal out of it gets lots of attention and i dont mean that as in good

[djmbenga4tw]

cue the darth vader music.

[MrJsebastian00]

Heat = NBA Finalsts; Cavaliers = Worst team in the NBA.

[matt13r1]

Why does Cleveland hate Wade and Bosh because they did nothing wrong and Cavs fans really need to get over Lebron leaving too bad it took them six months too

[MuhammedALee17]

I love how Zydrunas Ilgauskas was the only one on the Miami Heat lineup that got cheers.

[gwmkwan]

i love the intro music they use for the Heat LOL

[hello4320]

Lebron James: Cleveland Fans: BOOOOO!!

Chris Bosh: Cleveland Fans: BOOOOO!!

Zydrunas Ilgauskas: Cleveland Fans: YAAAAY!!!!!

[veganisextremelygood]

@hello4320 Z WENT TO MIAMI BUT STILL REMAINED NATURAL! LEBRON JOINED C-BOSH AND D-WADE AND FORMED AN EVIL TEAM!

[mikebeezy13]

AND THE STILL BEAT THEM THAT GAME! YEEEAAA BUDDYY fuck the cavs

[Blueconnekt]

i love the vader - choker metaphor

[immabeast333]

@Blueconnekt second coming

[jarrethcutestory]

what is the song at 0:40?

[snookermaster147]

Juelz Santana - the second coming

[matt13r1]

I bet it was a lot louder in the arena the boos when Lebron returned

[ClutchLikeMeIo]

1. I love how they played that Darth Vader music from when he returns.

2. Big Z got cheered cuz he wore Cavs uniform for the longest in franchise history and he didn't leave like a punk.

3. Wade got booed cuz he's a bitchmade.

4. No one likes Bosh, he's adopted.

5. The boos were way louder when I watched this live.

6. It woulda been sick as fuck if Cleveland won this game but they got destroyed and went on to have a long ass losing streak.

7. Fuck you

[TheAznKobe1]

love the star wars music in the background . nice touch

[ZIKISIMON]

This is so EPIC

[GamingTime33]

why are they all skipping

[encore543]

/watch?v=IdsFKN1Wxew HAHAHA Lebrons intro

[ENGLANDNEWENGLAND007]

almost a year ago

[Geo4964]

ay cavs fans lebron scored 38 points 8 rbs 5 assists in the this game n heat won this and kicked cavs asses 118-90

bitches

[32abazz]

Lol they had the imperial marching playing when Lebrons name got called.HAHAHAH

[ChiTownWarrior1]

No one could have won a championship in Cleveland with that sorry ass supporting cast Dan Gilbert presented Lebron.

[princeofdarknessxyz1]

lol its like watching a heel in wwe getting booed...same like lebron...joining the dark side...epic heel

[Loudmouf84]

I critisize many things about LeBron but he definitely chose the right franchise to sign with, other than the Bulls. The Heat franchise fits him perfectly

[vdiazjrvicente]

If they hate lebron why was the arena full that day?

[YTSForever]

If I was LeBron in this fucked up situation, I'd play the fucking bad guy. Why not? Who cares for being "modest" to Cleveland really? After every basket and dunk, mean mug them niggas lmao 2pac on em niggas, talk shit to the crowd, go wild wit it lol

[GarshardJeVard]

boo all they want. lol

[Geo4964]

YEEEEEEA LEBRON JAMES FUCK CAVS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stigenlund]

@TooRaw1000 Because he is corresponding Palpatine

[JaredRaines247]

LeBron's chalk toss = I ain't changing my shit for ya'll.

[superman1113215]

im not a lebron fan or anything but why would you boo a player for leaving your team. i mean my favorite player is kobe and i dont care if he says he hates his fans on national tv and then goes to the celtics. ill still be watching him and he'll still be my favorite player, because i just like watching him play. its basketball, not a fucking mexican drama series

[MccoyHayden]

@superman1113215 It's not because he left, it's how he left you people don't understand this. He disrespected all cavaliers fans/players/organization

[superman1113215]

@MccoyHayden like i said, theres a difference between liking a player as a player, and as a person. you may not like the way he acts or treats the organization, but if ur a true fan, you would still follow him, because after all the reason why u like him in the first place is because of his game not because how he acts and what he says. as i said before, if kobe spits on jerry bus, calls all laker fans faggots and goes to a different team after doing a 5 hour show on it, ill still watch hiim

[nbafanboi23]

LOL @ the sinister star wars music

[DevilsFreak17]

...u mad bro?

[556Bmoney]

Sorry but the build up wad so fucking gay

[sasooncena1]

stfu and stop saying Cleveland's pathetic and shit, Lebron went in front of the national tv and said that he was going to Miami, he could've let his teammates atleast know that he was leaving.

[1990Thunderbolt]

Cleveland is so pathetic! thank god I did not go to the chorus trip in OH cause you people suck!

[david8821]

this is how seattle treats A-rod every time he comes to town lol

[deathletters16]

haha they played Darth Vader music when Lebron came out. I get it

[oskiH]

ungrateful cleveland biches

[sugarbowl99]

am i the only one who hears star wars music?

[stedankorn]

@sugarbowl99 Yes, you have ears like a fucking rabbit.

[Somai82]

The imperial march.. seriously

[jimmy93212]

@Somai82 Bulls do that before every home game to their opponents

[dw3dw]

Lebrons face wen the cheer for ZEEE...

[kingbb65]

@ 1:51 is that Drew Carrey in the jersey behind Miller?...

[JaYxStOkEs]

@kingbb65 I think so i mean he is from Cleveland so it would make sense.

[mattdawg2011]

Is it just me or is LeBron James 26 years old? He still has 10 good years in him unlike Kobe at his end. Plus LeBron has more MVP's. Thats the individual stat, not the team stat. Stfu

[TooRaw1000]

why the fuck are they booing d wade!?lool

[melesnawy]

@TooRaw1000 coz they are PUNKS!

[djvk11]

@TooRaw1000 because hes on the other team... U boo every player on the other team dumbass

[Dre3K1]

@TooRaw1000 Besides the fact that they are the opponents, Cleveland felt like Wade was the mastermind behind Lebron leaving.

[baconbisquits101]

@TooRaw1000 cause cleveland fans are on crack

[lnuyashaLust]

hahaha, all I hear are BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOSS!!

[hghgsssssssfdddddddd]

lol why were they giving the Big Z cheers?!

[athi13heat06]

GET OVER IT.. funny how they boo wade and bosh but not big z... bosh and wade had nothing to do with the cavs.. idiots

[TheAllensmit]

@athi13heat06 its cuz they are on the opposing team? i mean usually the home crowd boos the opposing team. only makes sense

[athi13heat06]

@TheAllensmit yeahh but big z doesnt get bood.. only lebron, wade and bosh..!! u dont see any of that this bad at any other game...

[TheAllensmit]

@athi13heat06 because Big Z played for us for a LONG time. and we like him. and they boo'd lebron wade and bosh because they are on the other team. and because of the whole decision thing. and they did get boo'd a lot everywhere they went if u didnt notice

[athi13heat06]

@athi13heat06 once lebron left, big z left.. how loyal is that?? and as much as lebron;s a celebrity, he is a person - he is allowed to do whatever he wishes.. clearly he didnt have a team that would help him win a title, didnt u see what hpnd to the cavs after lebron left? like seriously u think lebron can win a title with a team like that?

[UncutTuts]

@athi13heat06 you're an idiot

[athi13heat06]

@UncutTuts please keep crying to yourself.. lebron's living his life. hes having fun, he's enjoying

you, just sit there and cry over the fact that lebron left the cavs.

[UncutTuts]

@athi13heat06 lol you mad bro? lebron can't even get a ring you guys blow lmao gtfo

[athi13heat06]

@UncutTuts im not mad at the fact that you guys lebron. the fact that you guys just hate on a guy for no good reason is just stupid

[Gam3Walkthrough]

i know that Big Z did a very good job when he was a cavs, but why would you boo the man who made cavaliers a contending team? lol

[DCfan971]

of course there gonna announce LeBrons name first

[zachary860]

why the fuck do those fairy's skip so much?

[JpRevEn]

Dear god.. .GET OVER IT CAV PSYCOS !!! LEBRON IS GONE !!!!!!

[indianslimshady1]

HOMOSEXUALITY IS A GENETIC DISORDER, A MUTATION. SO IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS NOT "NATURAL". DO YOU EVER HEAR PEOPLE SUPPORTING OTHER GENETIC DISORDERS, HAVE YOU HEARD ANYONE BEING PRO-ALZHEIMER'S ?? SO WHY ARE PEOPLE PRO-GAY OR PRO-LESBIAN??

THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE WITH ME

[theboix10]

boohoo cleveland. u guys r so selfish. lebron didnt come 2 the nba 2 make ur sad city a basketball landmark. he came 2 win and obviously ur suck ass team couldnt do it. So he left. just like Shaq did the magic, Dwight howard will do. Kobe wanted 2 do until they gave him help, etc. U guys complain like he was ur property. lebron probably singled handedly improved clevelands economy. So suck it up and move on. Actually I think the cavs were the cities only good sports team

[TheAllensmit]

@theboix10 bitches get stitches

[TheAllensmit]

Lebron promised to win a championship for us. he ditched that promise. we have all the right in the world to hate someone who breaks a promise. if he woulda atleast stuck it out and tried for his entire career here that would be fine. but he ditched.

[WithYourOwn]

haha for big Z they cheered for lebron they jeer

[nickiam32]

#swag 

[quicksnipe23]

Cleveland fans owe Lebron nothing, just like Lebron owed Cleveland nothing after his contract was up. However, he humiliated Cleveland on national television and never finished what he started (like he promised he would). I'm not a Cleveland fan or hater, but I'm a sympathizer and Lebron, just like everyone else, has to understand there's consequences with every action.

Such as: If you ditch Cleveland for easy rings, then Cleveland fans will lose respect for you and boo you. Plain and simple

[RKOnation1]

THEY CHEERED FOR BIG Z???????????????

[reynaldinho9999]

stop booing at lebron ..he gets high points everytime he gets booed ..thats why they lost against mavericks cuz he didnt get booed =P

[firehead78blaze]

ring around the rosy 0:17

[bbg9111]

So many boos i cant here reporter!!!!!

[lavvylav610]

Fuck Cleveland they suck . Shouldve gotten Lebron some better help rather than an old washed up shaq then jamison . Too much weight on 1 mans shoulders. Oh well Cleveland . BooHoo

[RezWood5]

I DIDNT KNOW WHO THE CAVS WERE INTILL LEBRON GOT THERE, I DONT EVEN REMEMBER SEEING THEM ON NBALIVE OR 2K

[Garth806]

WTF they celebrate for ilguskaus not lebron wtf

[n1c3g01ng]

@Garth806 ilgauskus spent like over ten years with them, and he didn't make a tv special about him signing with cleveland

[gophilliesforever]

His dumbass deserved all of those boo's. FUCK LEBRON! FUCK LEBRON!

[1piston]

fuck u

[ScarButta]

i love it how they play the darth vader theme when they announce LeBrons name

[mrblujet]

You know, James played seven seasons for the Cavs' and didn't bitch or moan or ask for a trade and fulfilled his contract. It was his choice to make where he wanted to play at the end of his contract.

[Somborac420]

LeBron gets booed, Ilgauskas gets cheered! LMAO! Ilgauskas FTW!

[Somborac420]

I forget how to spell "traitor". Oh right, L-e-b-r-o-n.

[sLuuugZz]

@TheRealCP13 ummmm he could of went to dallas,the clippers, chicago, new york, orlando, you're stupid.

[thatkid281]

Big Z.....much respect

[DororoHeicou]

delonte west- LEBRON, I AM YOUR FATHER.

[cloneman222]

Why'd the crowd "Cheer" for Big Z? lol

[watchmen715]

why are they cheering for big z?

[tongan93Pride]

haha, i like how arroyo gets neither a cheer or boo, but almost a moment of silence lol

[wm459]

cavs fans suck lebron can do whatever he wants when he wants and the cavs team sucks

[wm459]

wow the cavs almost had a better record than the heat

[Icedcoldtea]

I know people who hate the guy but admit he is a freak athlete. Cleveland can boo all they want, but without him it will be very hard to make the playoffs. Considering they are now putting the franchise in the hands of Kyrie Irving. Kyrie is a great player, but I doubt he can turn Cleveland around with the talent level on that team. Dan Gilbert better do something quick.

[forbasketballonly]

@LeBronHasBadFootWork

im going to disagree with you man. MJ didn't win his first ring until he was 30.. 30!! Lebron is 27 and he is already considered one of the top players in the nba, maybe second behind kobe (not for long.) Dude I used to think he was overhyped too but after watching him sometime, his size/speed/athleticism is truly unparalleled. And to boot he has a decent jumper.

[ZombieRebellionTeam]

@forbasketballonly Hey sorry to burst your bubble but Jordan won his third ring at 30 and had his first retirement at 30

[dmana3172]

@forbasketballonly Lebron is better than Kobe now. Kobe Bryant is now tied with Michael Jordan in the third place.

[forbasketballonly]

@dmana3172

Yea I agree that Lebron>Kobe, but did you say that Kobe = Jordan?

[WassupDL66]

@forbasketballonly You're fucking stupid

[forbasketballonly]

@LeBronHasBadFootWork

hasn't really hindered him so far has it

[controller52]

lol look at all of the people guarding the stands when The Heat ran out of the tunnel

[scorpionJB]

@LeBronHasBadFootWork playoff basketball is a totally different breed of animal

[KesselPhaneuf813]

That awkward moment after this vid ends, i see "Kevin Garnett returns to Minnesota" and i close the window

[jtlovable1]

My nikka if they were real fans they wouldnt care whhat team he went to they would still love him i kno i did. GO LB!!!

[RellyTV]

They cheered for Zydraunas because he gave them his all and didnt leave till he had nothing left.
