As expected, Northeast Ohio has expressed nothing but gratitude to LeBron James in the 48 hours since he announced his latest decision to take his talents westward to Los Angeles. After delivering on his promise to bring a championship to Cleveland, he’s certainly earned it.
Truthfully though, James’ departure isn’t all the rainbows and butterflies thankful fans are making it out to be.
That’s not to say it’s anywhere near as painful as watching the future Hall of Famer ditch Cleveland on national TV like he did in 2010. (Thank God for 2016) But to paint him as a saint as he leaves yet again, is laughable.
