Lebotched decision

Lebron James has finally made his decision, people can now go back to living their everyday life. I on the other hand have not been able to stop thinking about this decision. Although I am against the decision for James to go play in Miami, that is not why I am posting. Lebron James handled this situation probably the worse one could. Not only did he disrespect the teams that went out of their way to cater to Lebron during this time, but the way he treated the Cav's was unacceptable in my opinion. The Cleavland Cavaliers were slapped across the face by Lebron James. I understand Lebron James is a grown man and can decide to play where ever his soul desires, but the way he handled his business was not right. First off the national televised decision was not the right way to go. Star studded players such as Dwayne Wade and Amare Stoudamire had no problem just announcing their decision, no body else needed to hold an event for a decision that was dragged out and stabbed some hundred times by ESPN. Lebron is flashy, so what, I can get over that. The major disrespect started well before that. Cleavland is James's home town. The meaning of Lebron James to Cleavland is uncomparable to any other sports star to a city. The city has been riddled with sports let downs throughout its history, and the people of Cleavland get let down once again. Lebron did not respond in any way to the Cavs owner Dan Glibert after their meeting earlier last week. Dan Gilbert is a man who we will probably never know the extent to which he helped Lebron. With Lebron coming from high school, I could just imagine what Dan Gilbert has done for not only Bron, but his friends and family. At the absolute least he needed to call Gilbert some time before yesterday's decision to tell him the plan. I personally feel that the Cavs at least deserved that. Instead they were betrayed and humiliated by their "king" on national television. I feel for the city of Cleavland today, and actually hope them the best. Many of you have seen Gilbert's response to " the decision" and although harsh, I do feel it needed to be said. Gilbert just lost the person who raised the Cavs value $100 million since coming into the league. He along with the city of Cleavland feels betrayed and for good reason. This response is a nice summary of the way northeastern Ohio is feeling on this Friday morning. I never felt Lebron was actually going to leave Cleavland. Whats done is done. Although I do not agree with the way the situation was handled, I do respect the fact that winning is important to Lebron James. We hear winning is everything, but this is one of the first times we see a star of his caliber put money off the side and share the spotlight with two others.
