It wasn't shocking that he left the Cavs when he did though, and his deciding to come home impressed me. The work of his foundation in Ohio also impresses me, so at this point I'm good with Lebron.
I hated the move to Miami not simply because he announced it on a special.
He essentially ran the Cavs for x amount of years and then bailed on them when the guys he wanted couldn't get the job done!
That's poor form. I'd have more respect for Lebron if he stayed and suffered through another rebuilding cycle or 2 before he bailed on them or won a ring.
Look at KG - no one hates on him for leaving Minnesota. Why? I believe it's simply because people understand that he gave them every opportunity to build a contender and 99% of the time the organisation failed.
In Lebron's case HE failed...then bailed...went to Miami with his mates and as soon as they looked like they were past it he bailed again!
That's BS!
Going home is the only reason he's not hated even more for it...
But like I said he's used his position to determine the fate of franchises. We can argue if a player should have that much power and how that impacts the sport long term but I'm not willing to pick a side on that cause I can see cases both for and against
