LeBron Raymone James is my favorite basketball player of all time.
I speak in hyperbole a lot, but this isn’t hyperbole. This is just a fact. There isn’t an athlete who has ever done athlete things that I’ve enjoyed watching more than him. I have argued with strangers online for years over his greatness. And even I, a LeBron stan, will admit that “The Decision” was, in fact, a bad decision.
I’m not referring to him going to Miami — the Heatles were a blast. I’m referring to the production itself. It was unnecessarily drawn out and awkward, LeBron seemed uncomfortable and underprepared, and it came across as insensitive to drop that bomb on your home team while the entire universe watched him announce he would be taking his talents to South Beach.
