LeBron James is a tool for being a yankees fan - do u agree?

I must say, I dont like LeBron off the court. The guy is a native to cleveland and plays for the cavs. Hes an indians fan right? Nope, a yankees fan. Well guess what LeBron? You cant just pick a pro team to be fan of. If you arent in NY now and werent raised here, you have no business being a yankee fan. Infact, you look like a tool.

You are a sellout to cleveland. If its some coy tongue in cheek tease of coming to the knicks or nets, guess what? NY doesnt like sellouts.

So again, you cant just decide to be a yankee fan. My guess is you thought Jay-Z looked cool ands hip in a yankees cap and you listened to hos music while you were in cleveland daydreaming about being a gangsta.

LeBron you are a sellout and will never be a new yorker. You will never be jay-z.

I disagree with you. While I don't like it when fans are bandwagoners and switch their favorite teams on the drop of the dime, Lebron might have grown up a Yankees fan and in that case it's ok. You don't have to be a fan of your town's team imo. I mean if you move to Utah, do your kids have to be Jazz fans or can't they have the freedom to be Knicks fans if they choose.

I disagree, as zero said I dont like Bandwagon Fans but how could you blame anyone for being a Yankees Fan

Just switch allegiances already. The Giants are good and so are the Jets. No reason whatsoever to be cheering for a football team that's not in your city..

I'm a Knicks fan and I've never been to New York. The only place I've been in America is Orlando, and I was 11 and didn't know anything about basketball then.

I'm from the UK and started getting in to the NBA when I was 15 or so (19 now) and it was when Detroit were winning and I liked Ben Wallace cause of his intensity, then that winter my family went to NY and I asked them to get me a Wallace 3 Pistons jersey, and they couldn't find one and got me a H20 road Knicks jersey instead.

So I just became a Knicks fan like that. And now I'm hooked. In England I support Newcastle United (football, or "soccer") and that's cause of them being my home town team but I support the Knicks the same. You can't accuse me of being a bandwagoner though... The Knicks haven't won ANYTHING since I started. So I wasn't around in the Ewing, BK or Frazier days. But I couldn't support another NBA team. I like players, yeah, but I couldn't switch teams.

In the UK you meet so many people who support Manchester United and they have no ties to it, and you can forgive them if they say their parents drilled it into them when they were young, but if they pick it up when they're good, and they have local teams they could support instead, it's pretty annoying.

Yankees are America's team for baseball there are Yankee fans all over the place. Just like when the Bulls had Michael Jordan, there were Bulls fans in NY just because of Jordan.

not being a yankee {or mets, as long as it's a NY Team} is lame. I dont care where you live. Everyone in the universe should be NY franchise fans because we are the greatest ... hands down!

Support NY Sports Teams!!!!!!

Obviously a frontrunner, if you grow up in Akron you should be an Indians fan, period. And if you grow up anywhere outside of NY, you should hate the Yankees. Good sports fans hate teams like the Yankees and Patriots.

This is (Please Use More Appropriate Word). If there was even a slight chance that Bron being a Yankees fan meant he'd give more considering to coming to the Knicks then that's awesome.

The fact that I might get to see a NY MLS team win a title before the Knicks makes me sad.

Here's the story:

Lebron grew up liking the Bulls, Yankees, and Cowboys. 3 teams that were very popular in the 90's when Lebron was a kid. Lebron's father wasn't in his life to basically get him attached to his home teams. So like any other little kid might do, they get drawn in by the best/most popular teams at the time. He loved MJ so therefore he loved the Bulls, and the Yankees/Cowboys were winning everything in the 90's. So i can live with that as a Cavs fans, thats why i don't know why anybody brings up the Yankee thing so much. You figured they might be worried about him wanting to go to the Bulls if he was gonna leave lol because that was his favorite basketball team.

I love the Giants and root for them

The reason I am a cowboys fan is somebody gave me a cowboy football helmut for Xmas when I was young.

Thats when they weres Americas team with tony dorset, Roger Staubach, Danny White, Ozzie nesome, Hil etc......
