Did everyone hear that Lebron James is a free agent? Everywhere you go that is all you see or hear right now. It's just like the Cliff Lee/Phillies conversation......I won't go there now.
Tonight on ESPN Lebron James has his own 1 hour show called, "The Decision" to let the world know what team he plans to sign an ungodly amount of money with. Here is just one of the many reasons I hate watching the NBA today. Lebron is making himself out to be bigger then the game itself. Really? A 1 hour show to let us know where you plan on signing? The balls on this guy is insane. I have to watch this now just to say I saw how insane this really was. I feel bad for all Cleveland fans. They finally have that athlete that every sports crazed city dreams of. The athlete who is predicted to be one of the greatest in his sport and actually becomes the greatest to play his sport in his very short career so far. Lebron will go on to win a championship someday, he will break many records and always be remembered. But now if he doesn't sign with Cleveland and goes to another city, it will be just like Major League when Jake Taylor finally leads the Indians to the playoffs only to get swept by the Yankees in the first round of the playoffs.(I know this is the result because I watched the beginning of Major League 2). So after this circus that has been going on for several weeks now climaxes tonight at 9pm we can move on and forget about the NBA for a few months. Not so fast. Now we will have to listen and hear about the actual signing and if he leaves Cleveland how sad that will be. Whatever happened to the days where an athlete just did press conferences and talked about "Practice"??? So in the famous words of Terrell Eldorado Owens, "Get your popcorn ready" and listen to this selfish athlete named Lebron James tell US where he plans on signing a contract for millions of dollars. Unless he says the Philadelphia 76ers I don't really care that much.
Also the over/under on how many times they mention all the proceeds from advertising going to charity is 30.
