Joakim said Cleveland sucks and there's nothing to do.
Well, let me, a Washington fan say this:
1. Right now, they're watching their NBA team steamroll toward their first championship man! Your Bulls are lucky to be in the playoffs.
WOW, JAMISON WAS THAT OPEN!
2. They also have one of the best hitters in all of baseball in the Choo Choo Train. He is a BEAST! That is a man's grand slam he hit just yesterday against... THE WHITE SOX!
3. Playhouse Square Center is the biggest theater complex in the US after Lincoln Center in NYC. They host a number of ballets, comedy acts and pop concerts, like this one with David Archuleta:
4. Who could ever forget that Cleveland is home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? When they had a WNBA team, they named them after this building!
5. The Cleveland Museum of Art houses over 40,000 pieces of art and is a legit major league art museum. Also, admission is free to most exhibits, and most museums don't have that unless you're in DC but that's because we got the Smithsonian Institution and the National Gallery of Art!
6. Oh yes, Cleveland even has one of the best research and primary care hospitals in America, with the Cleveland Clinic! They are great all around, but they are #1 in cardiac, or heart care for over 15 years! While no doc can guarantee that you'll survive everything, at least this hospital is pretty damn good to say the least.
No wonder why LeBron and his boys are so healthy most of the time! They got some badazz docs there!
7. Lastly LeBron is going to do this to you if you can't feel your face and don't back up your game along with D-Rose!

haha, everyone is making a big deal out of this. But I dont see the big fuss, he's just speaking his mind, its his opinion. And I kinda like the fact that he speaks his mind and doesn't care who hears or knows.
Yeah maybe it was the wrong time to say it, but I mean come on its Noah People should know by now that he has a big mouth

True, but I think DeShawn's previous callout made it more notable. And now I need to see some playoff games which really matter.
LET'S GO CAPS!LET'S GO CAPS!

The LeBron/Cavs beef started in late March 2008 on Caron's birthday when the Wizards played at home agains the Cavaliers. DeShawn defended James the entire game almost and locked him up throughout the fourth quarter in a close match when James missed a three that would have won the game against the Wizards. Soon after, Stevenson called LeBron "overrated".
LeBron was asked to respond and at first he didn't care, but then he said that doing so would be like Jay Z (all star rapper) responding to a beef by Soulja Boy (one hit wonder.. at the time). Gilbert then stood up for DeShawn, since he just came back from his second knee surgery, saying that "every team wants to play Cleveland right now, and we want them in the playoffs for our own reasons." What Arenas meant was that a lot of eastern teams thought the Cavs may be an easy out because they were having injury woes toward the end of that season. The Wizards wanted revenge vs. the Cavs since they lost to them in 2006 after free throw gate in 2006, and in 2007 when the Wizzies, without Tough Juice and Gunbert got swept by a Cavs team at 100% strength.
The series was pretty heated throughout as you prob know, with Jay Z putting out a remix of Blow the Whistle which was really a praise song for LeBron more than a diss at DeShawn, at least from Jay Z's words. The fouls on James especially were rough. Flagrants were called against Haywood, most notably DeShawn who pushed James as he was about to go for a layup as he swiped past his head, and Songaila tapped him in the chin in game 5 and got suspended in game 6. Both teams also had the worst losses and best wins in terms of the point margin.
Wizards lost by 30 pts in Game 2 116-86, their worst playoff defeat ever, and followed that up with a 108-72 win in Game 3, their best playoff win ever. Those were also the Cavs' best wins and losses in the playoffs their best win ever in Game 2, worst loss in Game 3. This was probably the most emotional 1st round playoff series in quite some time. The Cavs won in six games however.
Here are some videos of this great series.

I find Detroit worse than Cleveland. the only place open there is the unemployment line.

Sorry
Anyways, something like this happens every year I remember when Mike Bibby called out the Celtic fans. Players dont care what they say, they just want to win, plus it makes the games a whole lot more entertaining XD
