I envy Lebron

LeBron James did what he thought is best for him and I have a boatload of respect for that. It's too easy to worry about what everyone thinks. It's so hard to leave your hometown and it's so hard to leave all those loyal fans. It's a tough decision. It will be a much criticized decision. No one will be happy in the NBA. Knicks fans are unhappy, so are Nets fans and Bulls fans. The whole State of Ohio is mad at LeBron.

LeBron was in a no win situation. Almost no one will be happy with his decision so you know what, the one person who should be happy is LeBron. If LeBron wants to go to Miami than he should go and people shouldn't question his motives. He wants to go to Miami. That's good enough for me.

LeBron James left Cleveland better than how he found it and that is what really matters for Cleveland. He feels that Miami is best for him so I support his decision to go there. A lot of people make decisions that people don't understand, but understand that that person is making the decision that they think is best for themselves. Ultimately when you retire or are on your death bed you want to know that you have no regrets about your life's decisions. The difference between our decisions and LeBron James decision is that LeBron has so many people who are affected and emotionally attached to his decision.

Put yourself in his shoes. Try making the best decision for yourself when you have MILLIONS of people who are emotionally attached to you and your decision. Try to make a decision that you know is going to crush peoples hearts so much it was as if you ran their hearts over with a steam roller.

Heck look they are burning his jersey. Try making a decision when you know millions of people are going to burn photos of you, or things that remind them of you. Leave LeBron alone.

You should atleast respect the guy for using his status to raise money for Boys and Girls Clubs.

Now I don't envy the Head Coach of the Miami Heat. Talk about pressure. You have Pat Riley looking over your shoulder and have the talents of Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh and LeBron James under your control. He must win. I don't know if I would be excited right now. He's going to have a lot of work to do and a lot of pressure to do that work extraordinarily well.
