He doesn't owe anyone anything but he could have joined another team with some class like just about every other basketball player did before him. He didn't owe Cleveland anything, but he didn't have to rub their face in it either.
I think the commercial is very clever and gets people thinking but overall I think it comes off very, very smug. "Maybe I should disappear" like you'd like that wouldn't you? "Should I be who you want me to be?" Gee, I haven't ever wanted him to be a jerk, but he sure comes off as one and smiles a friendly smile while doing it. He's not coming off as humble and someone concerned with his image. He's coming off like he's giving everyone the middle finger. "Do you really think I've ruined my legacy?" No, just your image. Obviously he believes if he wins championships all will be forgiven. He didn't disappear. He wasn't who we wanted him to be. He didn't ruin his legacy. As long as he wins Championships, all will be forgiven. I think that is the master plan and he could care less what we think about him as long as he accomplishes the master goal.
I personally hope Karma says it never happens. I liked the legends of this sport much better than Lebron even when they played on our most heated rivals and won it all at our expense. They didn't tarnish their legacies the way he did. They just won championships and let that do the talking for them. They didn't tell us "Should I be who you want me to be?" They didn't care. They just did it.
