But Everybody is Doing it!!!

It being talking about Lebron James. Before I dish (the rock) (to) about James, let us get to know him a little better.

Lebron James stands at 6 feet 8 inches, which is very, very tall. For his career he has averaged 27.8 points per game, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game. Very nice stats. Though I am not the biggest Lebron fan (I am more of a Kobe guy) there is no denying his talent and ascension into greatness.

Many have said his legacy is ruined, that he gutless and only cares about himself. Okay? So, what?

Regardless that he is on a national, even worldwide scale, his decision is his decision. He owes Cleveland nothing, he does not owe anybody anything for the most part (unless he lost some bets). Leaving Cleveland was by no means an easy decision. Think of how tough it would be if you were 25 years old and had the whole world watching and analyzing your decision. What is easy about that?

His legacy is ruined? How? He can potentially be the greatest player on the greatest team ever and nobody can take that away from him (if that does happen). Perhaps going to the Miami Heat (along with superstars Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh) will be a flop but that does not matter right now or may not ever matter.

Bottom line...the man is free to decide whatever he wants, if he went to your team with two other amazing players, I am sure you would be thrilled. Is it bad for the NBA? Maybe, maybe not, but who cares? I know I will be watching every Heat game next season.

Analysis, criticism and banter means nothing because until something happens,(either Lebron winning many championships or failing) all that talk is nothing but progress and when something happens is over progress becomes invisible. Let the man play, enjoy the showcase he will provide and wait to see what happens.
