Lebron James announced yesterday at 9 p.m. on ESPN that he would be leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers to play for the Miami Heat next NBA season. The buzz on twitter, facebook, and other social networking sites allowed Ohio natives and fans of Brown to express just how they felt about the move.
Some stated Brown was only doing what he felt to earn himself a ring in the 2011 Playoffs, however others felt James made a selfish decision and turned his back on the very city that raised him and coined him the KING of the game.
However, some will argue that LeBron was never the "King", that in order to earn such a title one must at least have earned a championship. The announcing of James's decision struck sports fans as one of the most memorable moments in sports history. "I want to leave without an emotional leave. I wish that fans of Cleveland will let this be a smooth transition next year while playing their on the other side," said James.
yet, what James didn't know was while making that statement that fans and natives of Cleveland were in the streets burning his jersey and ripping down the "king's signs". One person though made it very clear how they felt about James decision.
Owner of the Cavaliers, Dan Gilbert stated, "As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.
This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment," said Gilbert.

Brown though didn't seem to be worried all too much about the fans and support of who helped him along this path of greatness. One can't be mad when a star begins to rise and has to make a decision to better their career. Is James wrong for leaving to win a championship?
That's a question that's answered based solely on ones opinion, and well have one of those. I myself see the NBA as a job, their is no longer the hunger and fight to win. Has the game become a reality show for players to pour out their hearts, or is their one last player who understands just what the game means.
Basketball is James life and he's living it/. Will he get a ring in Miami? Or is it just the mere fact that James is one of the hardest players to play amoung since he is the king? Will the king ever prevail or will Karma show him her ugly face? Basketball season 2011 will be one to remeber and Miami will never be the same.
