“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

One thing is for sure readers. NBA mega-star Lebron James is a flat out lighting rod for fans blasting him and not showing love. Fans seem to dislike him more than ANY sports star in the U.S!

The question is this. Did James bring this hate on himself? Of course most say James made a HUGE mistake by having that big announcement four years ago on ESPN when he left the Cavs and went to the Miami Heat. Of course since he joined the Heat the team has played in four finals in a row and has won two NBA titles.

Of course now James is in the sports news 24-7 because he has opted out his contract with the Heat and is now a free agent and he can join any time that can spend the money to sign him. Please remember this.

The Miami Heat can offer him more money than any other team in the NBA. There is all kind of talk about Lebron should go here, Lebron should go their. Story after story. It is crazy!! Real crazy it is going to get MUCH worse because his Heat teammates Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh can leave the Heat also.

One thing for damn sure and that is James WILL NOT have a big party at a arena to say I am playing for this team. Remember James saying “Not one, not two, not three”? I know that will not happen! He has learned his lesson on that!

But again it seems fans hate James just because. Some think he is a spoiled brat who has been a “star” since he was in high school in Akron, Ohio. But the truth is he has been a well known basketball player since he was about 15. Hell in high school dude was driving a freakin Hummer!! James is a very intelligent man who wants to do well on the court and as a businessman off the court. He has never been in the police blotter for a cat hangin in the club until 2am and getting in trouble. He is a great dad to his children. He has another on the way too. His first daughter.

And also James does about all interview requests from the media. He also studies the history of the NBA. He knows about Wilt and Connie Hawkins and Bob Cousy and Earl “The Pearl” Monroe and other stars from back in the day. He wants to be a businessman off the court like Ervin “Magic” Johnson and former NBA player Jr. Bridgeman who is worth about $300 million after smart business moves after leaving the NBA. “Magic” is worth a half a billion! James is heading there for sure!

Will James return to Cleveland? This is all over the place in the media. He has a $27 million home in nearby Akron of course his hometown. And his lady it seems would love to return home to Ohio. Will James go the Clippers and join Chris Paul? I do not think that is a good move with Blake Griffin already there and recently Coach Rivers said Blake is untradeable.

Will James AND another high profile star Carmelo Anthony team up and play together in New York? How about James joining Houston with Howard and Harden? Their are all kinds of stories out there including James staying in Miami with Wade and Bosh and Pat Riley making some moves to help the big three.

All I know is Lebron was NOT happy after being blasted by Timmy, Parker and Ginobili and the 5 time champs Spurs. He wants to win but others including Riley are saying James should not run from team to team running after another title. Stay in Miami and stop running. Hang in their like Kobe Bryant with the Lakers. We will be following this huge sports story right here in “Sports Inner City Online” & TV! Stay turned!
