Well, it's over, after weeks, perhaps months of speculation, wooing, and poorly performed versions of "We Are the World," Lebron has decided to join the Miami Heat. I obviously wanted the Bulls to win the Lebron Sweepstakes, and turned a deaf ear the whole day when ESPN reporter Chris Broussard kept saying, "my sources are saying he is going to the Heat." Although I don't personally understand the decision made by James, I can't outright say it was the wrong one. No one can say that yet, the Heat could go on and become a Dynasty in the NBA, rivaling the heights of the 90's Bulls, or simply become a squad of ball-hogging divas who never win an NBA Championship. The simple truth is that until it happens, all of this is speculation. Now as for the public backlash Lebron has received, I have to ask why? He stated two years ago that he wanted to win, that's it, just win! He chose what he believed, and statistically is, the best option for him to do that. Of course the Cavs fans have the right to be upset that he didn't re-sign with his hometown team but be honest Cleveland, did you give him the best reason to stay? You didn't have a championship team last year and you showed Lebron what? NOTHING, absolutely nothing to improve the squad. The Owner of the Cavs released a letter to the fans guaranteeing a Championship before James. Well that's all fine and good to try and salvage season ticket sales but be honest, the Cavs are a 25-30 win team without James and every other blockbuster free agent has signed so good luck Cleveland. And a personal thanks to Lebron James, for giving me and my co-hosts on A Case of the Mondays plenty to talk about for the past 3 weeks and good luck in south beach. On a personal note, great job Bulls, didn't get Lebron and whats are consolation prize, CARLOS BOOZER!!! I'm glad the Blackhawks won a Championship this year, at least that should keep the Chicago faithful from jumping off Willis tower for a couple of years.
