Dear Cleveland,
I'm sorry you've been waiting for the past year to find out if your beloved Lebron James is going to re-sign with the Cavs. It's a damn shame that he's strung you along for so many months. But Cleveland, while I can understand the need to bring him back into the fold, let me ask you if you honestly believe you couldn't do better. This is the guy that took plays off during the post season this year. Don't tell me you didn't see it. He was laughing on the court while the Cavs were down. Kobe wouldn't do that. Jordan certainly wouldn't have, and that's who Lebron wants you to think he's like. He wears Jordan's number, but he doesn't have Jordan's heart, his drive, his utter desire. He calls himself King James, but he's not translating any bibles. He's driving a wedge between the people of Cleveland SO desperate to win, that they'll give up any semblance of pride in order to do so. Is he worth it? Couldn't you find 3 or 4 or 5 players willing to play for your team for the same money Lebron wants, and who want to play for you? Honestly, if he so badly wanted to play for the Cavs, the money wouldn't matter. Lebron had his agent play town crier across the NBA and brought the masses into your city to court the King. That's like showing up for prom and realizing you weren't the only one bringing a corsage to your date. And while yours might have cost more, maybe one of the others smells better. Looks a little nicer. Maybe it'll last longer. Puts a sour taste in your mouth, doesn't it, Cleveland? If King James doesn't bring the title to Cleveland, how long will it take for the coup d'état? How long till you can't stomach the sight of him? I'd imagine it'd be like watching the Browns year after year. . . sorry, had to get that in there.
So Cleveland, I hope you aren't disappointed tomorrow night. And if you aren't, I hope you aren't setting yourself up for a future revolt. For some reason, I liken King James to another famous king. . . King Henry the VIII. The first wife wasn't good enough, and well, neither was the second, or the third or the fourth, etc. Henry cut off most of their heads. . . let's hope Lebron will be a little more benevolent to you.
Love, Nikki
P.S. One more thing. Jake Delhomme?? Really?
I don't follow professional basketball, but I still think Lebron James is overrated and thinks more of himself than the entire state of Ohio thinks of him, which automatically makes him less appealing in my book.
