So last night was the Cavs/Heat matchup. There has been story after story on ESPN all week about this. What will happen? Who will win? How are the Cleveland fans going to treat "the former King James"? I was watching Outside the Lines this week and they were discussing a fan page that was created by Cavs fans about what they planned to do during the game. They listed things such as burning his jersey, chanting, yelling profanities when he touched the ball, etc.
How is this considered ethical behavior? This is a topic that hits me hard because I honestly have no idea how this is accepted. Sure, Lebron maybe might have over-exaggerated his switch to Miami, but really? This is how you respond? This legend made his mark in Cleveland, was the reason people cheered for the Cavs. By the sales of just his jersey alone, he single-handedly improved the Cleveland economy. Y'all are just upset because your best player decided to do what was best for him and move to a team that he can actually play with and not just for.
And also, Dan Gilbert, owner of the Cavs. The letter he published to Cleveland fans after Lebron made the switch? Come on, man. This action was just plain classless. You should be focused on what the next step is instead of starting a riot against the best player in the NBA. It amazes me how so much unethical behavior can come out of a single situation, especially from people high up in the organization.
These people need to move on. Maybe if you would have drafted some players to actually help out Lebron at Cleveland, then he wouldn't have left. We all know that he is a great player but it is impossible for one player to win a championship alone. He needed to be somewhere that he could rely on some teammates to help him out. Lebron will ALWAYS be a King in my eyes.
