"It's not what he did, it's how he did it."
That's pretty much what I've been saying all day. I honestly thought there's no way he can get on national TV and break the hearts of Cleveland fans like that, that he'd only do that to announce he's staying. But low & behold, he flipped an entire city - state really - the bird in one fell swoop.
He had a right to leave, no question. But there was a far better way to do it than he did. Idk who's idea it was ultimately, but its ridic that no one in his camp said to him, "this may be a bad idea". I think he ultimately believed he could do that and the Ohio fans would still love him cuz he's Lebron. Maybe it was just me, but when they showed him a clip of fans burning his Jersey, he looked saddened and ready to bolt.
Esp for a city like Cleveland that has so much sports anguish. As Boston fans, we have 17 banners, the Patriots, and the Red Sox in 2004 and 2007. They have "The Drive", "The Fumble", "The Shot", and now "The Decision". From hometown hero to probably the most despised figure in Cleveland sports history - not because he left, because of HOW he left.
