I know I’m in the extreme minority, but I’m not a huge James fan, and whoever wins the LeBron Sweepstakes is going to wind up a loser. There’s no doubt about the guys immense talent, but when you view the whole package, there’s a big hole in the armor.
If New York, Chicago, Miami or New Jersey fans want to see their team dominate the regular season, then they should all hail King James. But when it comes to the playoffs, they shouldn’t expect the royal treatment.
As foreigners outside of the King’s kingdom have noticed, when the castle is under siege and the situation calls for might and majesty, Lebron turns into a sulking Prima Donna. One only has to recall the recent battle between the Cavs and their hated rivals, the Celtics, as testament to Jame’s mercurial and “Un-Kingly” manner.
While the kingdoms courting James promise a royal order, vast riches and a castle befitting a king, doesn’t he already have that in Cleveland? While the kingdoms of Miami and Chicago are closer to a horizontal move for King James, New York and New Jersey are certainly a fall from grace. While the most tantalizing offer centers on the addition of another King, D-Wade who has won a crown, to reign with James, as history as shown, there’s not enough room in the castle for two Kings to properly serve their subjects, especially when one of them is named “James.” Just ask King Shaq.
