LeBron: Hero, Villain, What?
By Wink
Sports magazines, newspapers and television networks are all agog.
LeBron James has apparently let a lot of people down.
His team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, was just eliminated from the playoffs by the Boston Celtics.
He didn’t win any championships with Cleveland.
This wouldn’t be much of an issue, but all the aforementioned mags, newspapers and television networks have already anointed LeBron as the next savior of the NBA, the next ‘Michael Jordan.’
Not much pressure there, right LeBron?
He is eligible for free agency, and can now choose to re-sign with Cleveland or sign with any other team. The most talked-about ‘other teams’ are the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls.
Who knows where he will sign. If he re-ups with Cleveland, Cavs fans will rejoice, and many people will praise his loyalty.
If he signs with another team, any other team, he will be seen as greedy, or as calloused toward the long-suffering Cleveland fans.
Is James, at 25, officially overrated? We sort of doubt that. It took Jordan longer than this to start his championship run.
Either way, I don’t care. He has been nothing but a class act, who has reflected positively on Cleveland, and the NBA.
LeBron, if you are reading this, just grant me one wish…..
Don’t sign with the @*!#*!# Lakers
