About LeBron's decision, iba naman ang pananaw ko.
What he did was nothing short of revolutionary. For too long, the big bosses have always called the shots. The employees, like the players, toe the line. For all of MJ's power, he never got any concession from Jerry Reinsdorf, only a high salary in his last year, though that was simply a calculated move for Reinsdorf. Heck, the Wizards owner fired MJ and sent him packing away crying.
Here is LeBron, the employee, calling the shots against the billionaire bosses, including Reinsdorf. You come to Cleveland, make your pitch, and I will decide. I love it!
And all the billionaires except one made the wrong assumption that what would matter most to James was money. In the end he chose the option with the least money.
So, contrary to what most accuse him of, money was the least important factor for LeBron. Miami made the correct choice of offering him a formula of basketball, family, and friends.
Shed not a tear for the owners. They are hard-nosed and should be able to take a punch. Dan Gilbert? Ok he's angry, understandably so. But he's slso hypocritical, as he did offer James max money before dissing him for spurning his sales pitch.
Of course not all will be happy, so pity the Cleveland fans - only the ones who live there, not the portable ones.
I'm still and always will be a Lakers fan, but I am applauding LeBron.
