LeBron James is leaving Cleveland for the Lakers, and my 8-year-old granddaughter, Sadie, had the best perspective.
“At least he didn’t join the Warriors.”
Ain’t it the truth?
This time, LeBron’s exodus seems OK. Eight years ago, LeBron took his talents to South Beach, and the decision – and The Decision – backfired on LeBron big-time in the court of public opinion.
This is different, because LeBron has delivered an NBA title to Cleveland – its only major-league championship in more than half a century – and because he didn’t join a superteam.
