For everything that will go wrong with the NBA and world peace. It's Lebron James.
The way Miami's big three plotted to deprive Cleveland and Toronto owners off their star players got owners disgusted at working with the players let alone continue signing their paychecks.
Without a guarantee owners will have stars to sell tickets why will owners want to keep paying the players and also be at their mercy?
Lebron started all this. The way they came together is so disgusting if the owners had any goodwill of treating the players like business partners to run the NBA cartel Lebron ruined it for all the players and the many mouths the NBA feeds.
Michael Jordan turned the NBA into a global money empire only to have Lebron destroy it. The rude and cowardly way he treated his ex owner gave the owners a reality check. That the current system is broken and doesn't work in their favor so now they're negotiating with an iron fist. That's why a lockout is almost inevitable at this point. He's the reason the future of the NBA is in jeopardy and if the league is any smarter they'd find a way to get rid of him.
There's a lock out coming on and it's all because of Lebron James. He's hurting many pockets. As for Wade and Bosh, they were misled. Maybe if the league gets rid of Lebron the pain and hate he generated will ease and owners will once again be willing to open their wallets.
Lebron James is not just a fool but also a selfish egotist that's put the livelihood of the many mouths the NBA feeds in red danger.
He's a menace to the NBA.

Lebron is a dick and deserves the Karma punishment, but the Heat fiasco has resulted in huge publicity and ratings for the NBA.
You're completely wrong about the causes of the potential lock-out and you're clearly grasping at a weak pile-on conspriracy theory.

When Dan Gilbert said the Cavs will win a championship before Lebron does he was clearly alluding a system where teams won't be allowed to have three max guys. Of course the way Lebron treated his ex owner woke up the otherwise lavish owners and look what we got now.
Personally I'd rather see a lock out than watch a league with them three stupid pigs in Miami.

I don't know why you are so compassionate towards the owners. Where does all this hate towards LeBron come from? I hope Lebron wins 7 titles the league will not be worse for it. For you to say "He's a menace to the NBA" truly means that you don't "get it". It's your opinion but it makes no sense. Still your opinion.
