With all the foo-faa over where LeBron James will sign when he becomes a free agent this summer, one potential angle has been overlooked.
Fast-forward to opening night of next season. The Cavs are coming off a season that saw them capture their first NBA championship – only one fewer than the “storied” Knicks franchise – and the first title in Cleveland since 1964. Quicken Loans Arena is full and the TV audience is through the roof as the team prepares to raise a championship banner.
You’re LeBron James, the local kid who vowed to make Cleveland “light up like Vegas,” who put a dying franchise on his back and carried them to the top of the NBA, the reigning MVP who has exceeded every expectation placed on you.
On this night you could be with the Knicks playing a meaningless game against Toronto. Or you could be with the Nets, playing in a temporary arena in the Terminator-like wasteland of Northern New Jersey.
Or you could be on the court in your hometown watching as a championship banner is raised.
You have to wonder:
