LeBron Fallout

Anyone who follows sports even a little bit has heard the hubbub about LeBron James and his free agency choice. In a once-in-a-lifetime display of ego, he announced his decision to leave Cleveland and join 2 other superstars on the Miami Heat. In the span of a few weeks, King James has gone from universally adored and respected hometown hero, the savior of the dump that is Cleveland, Ohio (O-H-N-O) to a pariah, mocked across the country as a great player who's too scared to lead a team on his own. The Cleveland owner called him out in a already legendary ALLCAPS rant. Even Michael Jordan, the player all these guys grew up wanting to emulate, came out and said he would have never teamed up with his one-time rivals in order to guarantee multiple championships. 

I can't fault LeBron for switching allegiances to play with his friend in Miami. Obviously, Miami>>>Cleveland in every way possible, and this is his life; as entertaining as it is to watch, he has to live it for the next 6 years and who am I to dictate where someone else lives and for whom they work? I am disappointed though, because I wanted to watch a potential G.O.A.T. develop (Greatest Of All Time), and now that he's on a veritable all star team, he can't shine as bright. I can't say I'll be rooting for them either; it's hard to cheer for something as inorganic as this. One thing's for sure though - the Pistons' won't be winning any time soon.
