Wow that essay was so moving! I was always a Lebron fan just hated the cockyness of the Miami team. I did not like anything about the way they came together. This is the Lebron I will back no matter what! Does this also mean Bosh to Houston?! This is going to ripple through the entire league.

That was an amazing letter. I feel a little different about Lebron now.

Still want him to lose, but respect has gone up a lot.

Complete opposite of Dan Gilberts letter. Maybe Bron should own the team?

Very mature and classy.

Though if they trade for Love, it won't be nearly as "challenging" as he said it would.

He never mentioned Wiggins or Bennett in his letter.

Wiggins + Bennett for Love?

By the way, Wiggins still hasn't signed his contract.

I think the plan all along for lebron was to go and win a few rings to cement his legacy and then come back to the cavs and win the city it's own championship. Less pressure for him this way. He already got his own rings out of the way and now it's time for the city to shine.

Though he was a bitch about it the whole way through

Why in hell is LeBron acting like he didn't just make Cleveland the title favorites? You're going to the ECFs at the least, quit playing man.

That hurts... but I can't be mad with a man and his decision, he's brought us 2 championships and 4 amazing seasons of basketball... And to all of those who are laughing at Heat fans, how many championships has your team won in the last years? So keep talking trash, none of us care about your satisfaction after years being owned by the Heat.

Let's go HEAT! And wish good luck to LeBron in the cavs, he may get a great storyline after everthing is done.

This is absolutely fantastic for the NBA. For the first time since he was drafted, I'm rooting for LeBron James to win a championship. I hope Cleveland fans finally get their championship and enjoy some success, I really do. They've got a potential dynasty in the making with Irving/LeBron/Love (Love is surely coming too).

LeBron has proven to be very smart in my book. It's the right move for many reasons, basketball and non basketball ones.
