LeBron James is a grown man and he can do what he wants. He's a free agent and free to sign with any team he likes and that's his choice. As you all know LBJ choose to leave the Cavs and bolt to Miami to play with Bosh and Wade. Most of Cleveland is OK with that, but in the fashion LBJ did it in was awful. To go on national tv and embarrass the city of Cleveland by holding a "hey look at me" press conference just showed the huge ego us as fans have created for you. If you follow me on twitter (@patrickjrpoet) I bashed Chris Bosh for showing no character by the way he treated Toronto and I'm holding no punches back with LeBron. LeBron showed no class and no respect! For seven years Cleveland has had you on this throne that I now see you didn't deserve. Your a gut less coward who allowed your ego to take over possibly more then you ever thought. You didn't even have the guts to tell owner Dan Gilbert, who along with everybody else kissed your ass for seven years your decision so that the Cavs could move on just showed another sign of your immaturity. You left us all in the dark to watch a tv special of a decision you made weeks ago! All the meetings you held downtown last week was a JOKE!. in reality Cavs NO SHOT! Knicks NO SHOT! Nets NO SHOT! Bulls NO SHOT! Clippers NO SHOT! it was South Beach from day one. From you wearing a Yankees hat to a Indians playoff game to you showing up to a Browns game with a Cowboys hat, we all looked over that and it comes to light that it was the sign of a male diva. For the last month you held the city of Cleveland hostage as you knew from day one what you was going to to do. All this Wade to Chicago junk was just part of the master plan. I found it funny that Bosh didn't want to come to Cleveland and play with you, its because all 3 knew Miami was the destination. I'm heart broken, I feel like my heart was ripped out and the cycle continues. You took the easy road instead of building your own legacy, you jumped on Wade's legacy like a baby on his fathers back. Have fun playing second fiddle to the man that will always have "1" more ring then you. MJ and Kobe stuck it out in their respective cities and was rewarded with title after title after title. I'll never forget game five of the eastern conference semifinals sitting in my seat at the "Q" after a 32 point spanking from the Celtics as you literally QUIT on me, the city of Cleveland and your teammates. No doubt you brought the lights of a big city to Cleveland and will never forget it. For me, no matter how many basket you score or if you win any rings I have no respect for you and all the pride I had in being a LeBron James fan was sucked out of me sometime during your 1 hour special. You say you gave yo heart and soul to this city and your blood, but you took that in one night and tossed it in Lake Erie on your way down to South Beach. Many kids in the greater Cleveland area thought u was a hero. Kids everyday would say "I want to be like LeBron". LeBron, your a self proclaimed King and a pre Madonna. Your a quitter and will never be welcomed back in Cleveland again! You lost a lot of fans last night and you'll never get them back, and Cleveland will never forget this night. Im not mad that you left its just how you did it and it was wrong! Your no Art Modell at all he was a snake in the grass, LeBron your a snake in the public eye.......

ReplyDeleteInteresting take, Pat. I agree that LeBron went about the whole thing in less than a professional fashion. I love how you said that we, the fans, have essentially created this monster! That is too true. My thought is that LeBron took the easy way out, and here in Cleveland, people may never forgive him. It looks like it will be another few decades before the Cavs make any type of resurgence.
ReplyDeleteThere is another lesson in this whole drama too. Basically, don't build your whole organization's hope around one player, no matter how talented he is. This leaves you with inflexibility and essentially no vision for your franchise going forward. LeBron simply did what he was expected to do, look out for me, myself (as he loves to call himself) and I.
Let him chase the fools gold. In the end, LeBron James will see that no matter who you play with, CHAMPIONSHIPS MUST BE EARNED. I am not sure how much he is willing to swallow that serum from his silver spoon.
Well put
