LeBron Mania: The Lesson and Some Fun!

Here are my thoughts on LeBron’s move, please keep in mind that I don’t really follow the NBA all that much due to my feelings that the season is too long, so until it is down to the wire a single game doesn’t seem to matter… oh, and the only traveling in the NBA is on a plane, not a call on the basketball court!

Also, I know that there are people that are in shock over the circus that one person can create; I think that is a powerful lesson to learn: One person can make an impact on their city, their state, their country, their world.  So, even when their are crazy situations, look for the lesson - there is always one.

However, I was having thoughts about this and decided I should put them on paper after the media event of an announcement, and the inappropriate reaction by Dan Gilbert.  So, I would imagine that this is what a letter from LeBron to Dan Gilbert would look like:


Dear Dan Gilbert,

I thought that I should send you the top reasons that I decided to leave Cleveland:

1. There is no income tax in Florida.

2. I received a bribe to leave from the Cleveland Browns and Indians; so people would realize that there are other pro sports in Cleveland.

3. Ohio does not have a South Beach where women walk around in thongs. There is a lake… that’s it.

4. I was getting harassed by musicians that people were forgetting that the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame was in Cleveland.

5. Stars have homes in Miami… not Cleveland.

6. I needed to make Tom Izzo’s decision to stay at MSU even smarter.

7. I’m going after Lamar’s ring and Khloe’s show. Damn the Odoms!

8. I look good in red!

9. You work in mortgages; Micky Arison has a cruise line.

10. No one in Cleveland comes close to Pat Riley’s hair.

11. Oh and your antics, such as an immediate letter up on your website belittling me, are proof of the type of owner you are and gives insight into your character, as well. You had an opportunity to step up and be a leader for the city by simply thanking me for making you the most money in Cavs history through ticket and merchandise sales; but instead I look like the good guy and justified for leaving.

I would like to thank you for now providing me all of the locker room material that I need to motivate me and my teammates to get the ring before Cleveland even makes the playoffs again.

Sincerely,
LeBron

P.S. You can call me and refer to me as ‘King James’ from this point forward.
