Okay so LeBron James returned to Cleveland as a member of the Miami Heat. It was as expected. He got the welcome of the big bad sports villain returning to finish what he started: Destruction of the Cavaliers. Ha. Don't take this too seriously. Such is the nature of sports. Don't be mad at Cavaliers' fans. It is their right to vent. Especially when you have salt (and pepper!) being rubbed into an open wound. It must burn.
The reality of the situation was all too apparent for the Cavaliers' franchise. It is difficult to build a legitimate champoinship team in a small market city. Apart from the NBA draft, how do they attract and keep championship caliber players? Therefore it is unfair to compare LeBron to any other great champion who was in a big market. Kevin Garnett would have never won a championship in Minnesota. For this reason Cleveland fans (and front office), you should be aware of the real challenges ahead. Therefore LeBron did what was in his best interest. He moved on before it's too late. He may not have done it in the right way, I agree and for this reason, you may just have to forgive him. This will begin the healing of a city in pain.
Okay Erik. I hope you didn't get sidetracked with all the hoopla in Cleveland on Thursday night. The Miami Heat have spoken. Team only meeting and all and barring none, a team must have one leader inorder to be successful. LeBron clearly established that in Cleveland. Coach Spoelstra, in order to make your job easier, please let things be. You are blessed to have some of the most talented superstars on our planet; now you have yo trust them. Relax and be patient and the rest will just fall in place. Keep challenging them to reach higher heights. The best way to do this is act as though you are not too impressed. Take a page from Phil Jackson's book (if you have to ), win, and have fun.
