Last night's drawn-out drip, drip, drip announcement by King James about his move to the Miami Heat was PATHETIC to watch. In fact, it was unwatchable.
And you thought professional basketball NBA-style was just a game? Apparently, Dan Gilbert, majority owner of the Cavaliers, was not amused, evidenced by
this post last night on the team's official website.
In a smaller sidebar story that also involves the Cleveland Cavaliers getting the short end of the stick (again), the day before Lebron announced his decision Carlos Boozer jumped ship in Utah for Chicago and the Bulls. So now Cleveland has two ex-patriots they love to hate. Boozer was
likewise excoriated by local sports columnist, Brad Rock, in the
Deseret Morning News. I thought it was the best article I've ever seen from "da Rockmonsta."
Every team will tell you they want to win the championship with a straight face, determined growl in their voice, but when you start to believe the hype you have lost sight of the reality -- sports is entertainment, particularly professional sports -- end of story.
