It was bad enough that Lebron James decided to leave Cleveland to go to South Beach to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on national television, but now he doesn’t even mention the city where he played basketball for seven years in a full-page ad in his hometown paper. James’ ad thanks the people of Akron for their support for 25 years, but fails to even slightly mention where he started his professional career. Coincidentally, this ad came out two days after his former Cavaliers and now Miami Heat teammate, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, took out an ad in the Plain Dealer thanking Cavaliers fans for their support over the years.
King James leaving Cleveland empty handed in the paper could be looked at as both classless and childish and even justified with owner, Dan Gilbert’s haughty comments. Honestly though, I don’t think Cleveland fans will ever be able to forgive their once beloved “Chosen One.” The damage has already been done and thank you note in an ad wouldn’t minimize the fact that he will no longer be playing in Ohio. Most of Cleveland hates this man because they he feel quit on them and him not mentioning them in the ad is just adding fuel to the fire.
I just can’t wait to see when Lebron visits Cleveland during the regular season. This game will be brutal and I think that David Stern should highly consider hiring extra security for this game. Lebron was everything to this city and now they despise him with nothing, but disgust filled in their veins and blood.
