Well call me cold hearted but this move doesn't redeem Lebron in the slightest with me. After reading that article one thing is clear, Lebron did this for himself, to boost his ego, have a better shot at winning, and alleviate the guilt (to a small degree) that he feels for screwing his home town. That whole article boils down to "Here I come unwashed masses, your messiah has returned! Sure I love Miami but they ain't good anymore, and I feel guilty, but I am doing this for love!"
Sorry, but reading that article has more to do with how the guy sees himself as some messiah to the poor. Is this all about him helping his hometown? Maybe, but it also is a better shot at winning again. Miami wasn't working so again the guy jumps ship, and goes to the better situation.
To make it clear, I am not a Heat fan, never have been. However, those saying this some how absolves him, and makes him "the man"? Sorry, the NBA has a lot of great players who I would call "the man" way before Lebron. Tim Duncan and the entire Spurs organization stands quite far ahead of Lebron to me for starters. Kevin Durant never left OKC, he is as humble as they come, and he is "the man" before Lebron.
Lebron is as wack as they come. Gilbert is a tool as well. I could care less if teh Cavs win next year, but if Lebron wants to show the kids a good role model he'll point to Durant or even the Spurs that beat him last year. Those are role models, Lebron is doing this for Lebron and no one else.
