there is so much hype right now, so much media garbage right now about Lebron James and all of the NBA free agency craziness. its interesting because only people in Cleveland give the Cavs any chance of getting Lebron to stay. no national sports person will even consider Lebron staying in Cleveland. i have a couple of thoughts on the situation.

first, i don't care if Lebron leaves. i really don't. here is a guy who has won multiple MVPs, been a part of the best team in the NBA during the regular season but has not won a championship. he has dictated so much of what has happened for the Cavs over his time here and has not done the one thing expected of him. you are not a King until you are the best, and that my friend is Kobe. Lebron, based on what i saw in the Celtics series is a guy who can't finish, quits on his team and his town. i am over him, he is about Lebron, he is immature, can't really lead, doesn't handle pressure and can't win a championship. give me Kobe any day over Lebron. it showed so much of his "character" during the playoffs when he threw his coach and his team under the bus, he didn't have the class to not make the press conference about himself and what he was gonna do next. Lebron can take his entourage and go to Chicago, where everyone will be able to see that Jordan was a superstar and Lebron is a selfish, talented, ego maniac who lets money hungry hangers-on control him.

secondly, i am a little tired of all the talk about how horrible the Cavs will be without Lebron. yes, he is the MVP and he is superstar talented. but he doesn't have heart. i lived near Detroit during their last run. you know what Detroit had, heart, they didn't have any superstar. they didn't have the MVP. they were a team! a freakin' team! they beat Kobe and Shaq for a championship with out a superstar. they had an entire team of guys who were talented, knew their role and knew what it meant to be on a team. the Cavs still have guys with heart, guys like Delonte West, Anderson Varejao, JJ Hickson. we still have guys like Sebastion Telfair and Jamario Moon who have some talent to share. Antwan Jamison is nice player. to me, you build a team, not who Lebron, who has not proven himself to have much of a basketball business mind, wants. you build a team, and until Lebron proves himself, disregard what the Prince (at best) wants, and give him and better yet, give this town what it needs.

there is a part of me that really wants James to leave. i want him to leave and have the Cavs do well, maybe not best record in the NBA but do well. i would rather watch a talented team with heart, that let some unproven "King" dictate what he thinks he needs.
