Oh LeBron, you play the hometown team... you really are the hometown team. You led them to an NBA Finals, you adorn t-shirts and billboards around the city of Cleveland. Ohio is proud of you, representing us as well as Jim Tressell. Granted if you did play for the Browns and did all you did in the commercial we would erect a statue taller than Moses Cleveland.
However, despite your great game-winning shot in last nights victory over Golden State, this is one Ohioan who is not impressed.
ESPN would like to argue otherwise. During the report on Good Morning America, the anchor, Matt Winer, wrote his story as if James was the conquering hero. This conquering hero and the rest of his merry men played poorly against a crummy Warriors team. If the Cavs want to prove that they are the best in the league they cannot have close games against Golden State.
To top things off Winer was very impressed with LeBron's game winning jumper that was the first of his young career. What he fails to note that in close games LeBron always takes the last shot and much to my dismay he is not Jimmy Chitwood. If he was Cleveland would have won an NBA title by now and people would jump on the Cavs bandwagon, not so much the LeBron bandwagon.
ESPN, don't praise the play of a guy and the rest of his team in a game that should have been decided by twenty points, not one. Also, more importantly, LeBron has been in the league for a while now, don't talk about his career as being young. He's actually a mentor to rookies now, he past being the baby on the club.
