I'm no LeBron fan, but this day, this ESPN special, this decision. This I'm a fan of. I like it. I love it. I want some more of it. Damn you Tim McGraw.
Screw charity! Screw the Boys and Girls Club of America! This is all about publicity. It's a stunt. Dare I call it a publicity stunt? Point is, this assures us that LeBron James is no better than Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian. He is an attention whore. He can, as Ronnie on the preview for Jersey Shore 2 *fist pump!* would say, deny, deny, deny, but now we all know the truth. LeBron hearts the spotlight.
As for a formal prediction on LBJ's future home? Though they appear to be a distant 3rd, or even 4th, at the moment, I'm still sticking with my original team...the Chicago Bulls. LBJ would be stupid not to sign. I get it. He, Wade, and Bosh are BFFs. Whatever. They don't fit on the court! Wade and LBJ have to have the ball to dominate. Miami is Wade's town. No ifs, ands, or buts. No way, no how can LBJ play second fiddle to Wade. He just won't do it.
Then there's Cleveland. I would honestly laugh if LBJ resigned in Cleveland. It'll be at least 2 years before that roster is Championship caliber. And now with Byron Scott coaching, any young guys you bring in will be relegated to the 8th or 9th spots in the rotation. If LBJ resigns, their best bet at a title, or dynasty in this case, is if they clear enough cap space in 2012 for his other BFF Chris Paul to join him and his former coach. Until then, enjoy your summers fishing.
New York? Pfffffftttttt.
That leaves us with Chicago. You've got a potential franchise PG in Derrick Rose who hasn't even turned 23 yet. You've got one of the premier post defenders, rebounders, and all out hustle guys in Joakim Noah, and now you've got a PF that can spread the floor and run the pick-and-roll with thanks to his high arcing, silky smooth mid-range jumper in Carlos Boozer. Luol Deng's contract comes off the books in...well forget that. Maybe LBJ can get the best out of Deng. And if you take on the Windy City Challenge and succeed with multiple titles, you're considered the next Michael.
That is, unless you're just the next Paris.
