The Decision


Lebron James...you are different.
Not because you are arguably the best NBA player in the game today. Not because you can knock down buzzer beaters or dribble past double teams. Not because you leave fans in awe after every performance and honored to have seen you excel in your element. No sir, you are different because you are a true King.
Kings are loved by their people are respected by their enemies. Kings do not get cocky or greedy. No Lebron James did not choose to play for the Miami Heat because he is greedy and wants to win. Lebron knows that winning makes him happy and choosing a team with two other superstars will make him happy. His number's will go down. Taking a hyped up team into the playoffs will be tough. The MVP award is no longer guaranteed as because let's face it, taking an okay team like the Cav's deep into the playoffs alone was enough to earn it.
Lebron speaks rather well for someone who didn't attend college. He danced around rude questions in a way that left both parties (the ones he left and the ones he choose) satisfied and thankful. He made it clear that he is a loyal man and Akron, Ohio will always be in his heart. He had no ill words to speak of anyone and didn't seem to enjoy the attention focused on him. He actually apologized to those teams that he didn't pick, saying sorry for getting your hopes up.
One odd fact about me is that despite me being a jock & having tons of college athletes as friends I still cannot find myself to respect those big-headed guys who KNOW they don't hafta pay attention in Statistics because soon they will enter the draft and pay a banker to count up all their money. Yes I do have a problem with those dirtbags. But Lebron-the dude who has the most and the best justification to be a cocky ass isn't. He is humble and focuses more on the game than anything else.
While I don't have too much invested in this decision (other than it seems like the NBA had to put together a team to beat the Lakers) I am happy that The King is happy and hopes he gets his ring(s). Other kids should learn from him and know that team means more than anything. The Dynasty has begun.
Long live the King
but I gotta say..
Go Warriors :(
