King Lebron

You know the name; you've seen the face and, unfortunately, there was a period that we too praised the notorious NBA player. I can openly admit I renounced the existence of my #34 Cavs jersey ever since the betrayal. Now, as I soak up in the glory in the defeat of the infamous player I can't help but look back to the days when I too thought of him as the "king." The fact that Lebron left Cleveland did not cause me to excommunicate Lebron, but the way in which he did it. Cleveland is a community made up by hardworking people; some become prosperous while others, like many in other parts of the country, live pay-check to pay-check for the most part of their lives. The problem is not the work ethic of Cleveland, it's the attitude. People beat down on Cleveland, and then convince themselves that they are too good for Cleveland, then renounce their native home for a new city like New York or Chicago. The truth? Cleveland is a place where people can build themselves up from the ground, and welcome back those who ran away to the "big cities" only to find their true home was Cleveland. Will Lebron's defeat lead him to this same conclusion? Probably not; but his failure proves the saying that what goes around comes, and that leaving Cleveland will not make you a better person, businessman or athlete- it just makes you a quitter.
