A New Kingdom

Earlier, I posted an article about Cleveland's loss of LeBron James. Well, if you're interested in reading the flip side, click on the title of this post. I've already said my peace on the situation, so I'll defer you to Michael Wallace of the Miami Herald.

Go Cavs!

I think it is crazy what Lebron has been able to pull off. With the reports I had heard prior to the "decision"/announcement, I was sure that Lebron would not leave cleveland. I agree that there will be the stigma of "But he couldn't win it in cleveland".
(This is also another negative for cleveland. The fact that not even Lebron could win a championship in Cleveland, therefore why would anyone want to play there.)

Anyways, I've been saying for years that if I was a highly recruited athlete, I would do this. I refer to high school blue chippers. If I was a highly recruited high school athlete, I would be calling the top athletes in my sport across the nation, and trying to make sure we all go the same school. If I gonna play in college, I would want to win a national championship. Make your life easy, and get the top athletes together and go with them somewhere. This is what Lebron has done. He is tired of carrying the burden, and has shared the weight with two other men, and are now loading up on role players.
Personally, I am a kobe fan, and always like to see him and Lebron play against each other. And all this drama just adds to it.
I know the big three are excellent players, but I am not convinced they will be as great as everyone is reporting. I think they'll still have trouble with Orlando, Boston, and LA. They are my favorite to win the NBA title, but it wont be as easy as people making it out to be.
