[Player: LeBron James] – 2x MVP, 2004 ROY, 4x All NBA First Team, 2x All NBA Defensive Team, 1x Scoring Champ, 3x PER Leader.

1x Breaker of millions of hearts.

I am a Knicks fan. Die hard, I had waited the past three years of my life for July 8th at 9pm when LeBron announced his decision. As much as I wanted LeBron to come to New York, I still said I would be content if he stayed. Cleveland needs a championship, and who better to deliver it to them than one of their own? Obviously not him. We all know how heart-broken Cleveland is. However, besides my own biases as a Knicks fan, I was heart-broken when LeBron did not join the Knicks. Was this because I was personally sad? No. This was because 9 year old underserved kids at the Boys and Girls club who have not EVER seen the Knicks succeed just saw their potential hero deliver a fat middle finger to them. Every single kid sitting behind that interview was a Knicks fan. The fact that LeBron did not choose the Knicks was not a big deal to those kids. The fact that LeBron sat in front of those kids and did not choose the Knicks was heartless and as cold a choice as he could make.

LeBron ruined himself. Although nobody can deny the obvious talent that he has, he will never be the Jordan many people thought he would be. He will never even be the Kobe people thought, (and maybe even still think) he is better than. I assure you that while LeBron was getting his dick sucked and shit-faced drunk in South Beach, Kobe was watching tape and hitting the gym. LeBron is not just immature in this way. He simply does not have the fire power that these starts have. Had Jordan been in the league now during the 2010 free agency, he would have been more pumped than LeBron was that Wade and Bosh joined forces. Jordan would not have joined them. Jordan would have been happy because this would be a new team to deliver an ass-kicking too. LeBron preferred partying with his friends. In ten years as LeBron puts on a lavish 3 hour ESPN special to announce his retirement (Just a sidenote, one of my favorite athletes, Mike Piazza, yea I know it sucks I’m a Mets fan too, did not even announce his retirement. He simply retired. Come on, he is so classy. Gotta love him, even if that facial hair was an abortion) I will not look back at his career as a success. I will look at it as a failure. As shown already, he has the resumé of a hall of famer, which he will be. However, with the amount of talent he has shown the world, he should be a top five player. Easily. He will never reach the top 15 player mark. If you cannot win as the man of the team, you cannot be considered top 15. He will always have one fewer than Wade, who singlehandedly won four straight against a 67 win Mavs team. He will always be remembered as not much better than Iverson. This decision ruined him and the NBA.

He calls himself an historian of the game. Maybe he would have learned a little something in college, or was he too good for that too, just like he is too good for Cleveland. Yankees, Cowboys, Heat. What a douche.
