@LonghornMM the people that bang on lebron for leaving cleveland (other than cleveland fans) was because of the manner in which he did it. The whole tv special.... the "I'm taking my talents to miami" thing. If he'd have just kept his mouth closed and moved to Miami, no big deal. But when you stand up there and say "not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5" about how many rings you're going to win..... and then you fail to deliver anything close to that.... with an all-star team... then you get your butt handed to you TWICE by the poor little old spurs....
Lebron has done a great job of crafting his image. He's had the swooning media to help that.
