LeBron James

1) He's no longer The King. All you need to know that he made the wrong choice. How can LeBron or anyone else consider him the King? How? When you're playing in Miami with the man who brough the Heat a championship, the man who stars alongside Charles Barkley in commercials, Dwayne Wade, how can LeBron be the King? He can't. Not to say that Wade is the King, but when you have two super stars that are kind of similar (not like Kobe/Shaq dynamic) you can't have a single King. LeBron's no longer the King. And to proclaim yourself King, have everybody be OK with it, go along with the ego trip, and then lose it? Sucks.

2) He should have come to New York. I honestly believe this. Yes, I'm a Knick fan, but I'm not a huge Knick fan. I like them. I like when New York sports succeeds. And there's only one basketball team. LeBron could have been the King of New York. He would have lived the high life. He would have been the biggest athlete ever. There's no doubt about it. And he would have eventually won here. Yes, the Knicks suck, and Amar'e is a shitty player, but come on? The job would've gotten done. I think LeBron is short-sighted. To boot: the most egotistical and self-promoting move in all of sports history, commited by Lebron last night, proves that he could would have fit right in with New York and all of its ego-tistical narccistical glory. (Ironic, no?) When you play in New York, it doesn't matter that the rest of the country hates you. New York is enough - and the entire fucking world cares about New York, and you can be damn sure all of those Thai motherfuckers and aborignals in the Outback would know who LeBron was, cuz everyone knows what happens in NYC. Now everybody in the USA expect for those in Miami hate him and the rest of the world will continue to not care. Miami? Please. Once we stop all Cubans coming into Florida there will be 10 Heat fans.

3) Stay in Cleveland. I am certainly not the kind of person who feels LeBron betrayed the people of Cleveland. He doesn't owe them shit. Was it a dick move? Yes. Could he have handled it better? Surely. But I'm not privvy to everything going on with LeBron, and just because the dude is an Ohioan...look, it's this dude's life when you get down to it. He wanted to move on, make a change. He could be the biggest asshole in the world, but because of the way he handled it, not because he left. Who wants to stay in Cleveland? Nobody. The only good thing from Cleveland is the Drew Carey show's theme song, and the rest of that show suck balls.

But it definetly would have been preferrable to him going to the Heat. At least he would have come off as a human, albeit a human who wouldn't have any rings. It would have been a better move, but I don't care about Cleveland when you get down to it. Poorly handled - Cleveland better than Heat - ultimately the man's choice - what is loyalty anyway?

4) Chicago. Everyone's saying that team's perfect for him and he would've been winning like crazy there, so I'm just going to agree with them. But of course, Jordan played there, and if you're Lebron you just can't go there. End of story.

5) The Nets suck. Only decision worse than the one he made. Russians suck, too.

That's just what came out of me. I think going to the Heat is just a wrong move. The team will be good. They will win (at some point). But Dwaye Wade and LeBron James sharing the spotlight is silly. There are only a handful of stars that ABSOLUTELY put people in the seats, and having them both in Miami is a travesty. He's not saving a team. He's not being loyal. He wants to win and win quick, but it's not gonna be the real deal. I think each ring he wins should be worth only half. I think that's fair.
