Lebron James

LeBron James' superstar status definitely changed upon the conclusion of "The Decision." For years LeBron had given hopes to underachieving teams such as the Knicks, Bulls, Heat, Nets, and even the Clippers of one day suiting up in these particular cities. As we all knew at the time he could only choose one, but the hope of him one day lacing up his shoes and throwing powder in the air for our beloved home teams was much greater then the nightmare of him playing elsewhere. As the that July night came and went, that nightmare became a reality for all cities except Miami. I whole-heartedly agree with the actions of the fans of Cleveland. The Knicks have been awful for a decade and had not done anything recently to have full out fan support, and I was even devastated at the thought LeBron was not going to come play for our hometown Knicks. That devastation came and went in a matter of a day or so because of the great sports there are in the NY/ NJ metro area but as for Cleveland, LeBron was there guy. He had built the city up and created prosperity for local business owners and in a matter of a primetime hour it was all gone. Lebron was the foundation of the house that was Cleveland and he just walked right out from underneath it. The civilians saw there city as they knew crumble right before there very eyes, and the only thing that would give them any satisfaction, as there were long profitless months and years ahead, was to take part in the egregious actions of the not so fond LeBron farewell.
