LeBron James on Leaving Cleveland Cavs

I am not so fond with basketball. That is why, I seldom make sports book betting with this game. Like any bookmakers online, I bet only to my favorite sports such as soccer, boxing and tennis. However, intrigues really make any sports game even more interesting. LeBron James was tagged as narcissistic after deciding to leave Cleveland Cavaliers to team with the Miami Heat stars, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade. This issue even became a popular topic to my friends, both online and offline. Like a cat which was never really killed, curiosity was aroused and tried to research for articles about it.

What I found out is that James’ fans are actually upset of his decision. But if you are going to ask who among the people of the world is most upset, that would be Cleveland Cavs owner, Dan Gilbert. To express his bitterness, he made an open letter to James’ fans and claimed that he deserted his previous team for being selfish. Rev. Jesse Jackson commented that Dan's letter presents a master-slave mentality in his letter. LeBron James is likened into a “runaway slave” for leaving Dan’s team.

However, James affirmed that he has just made the right decision. He commented that, “When things hit the fan, you see a guy's true colors. He further said that whatever Dan would say about abandoning the previous team, it won’t stop him and his family from sleeping at night. “It just won't do it. It's just going to make us powerful, more powerful.''
