Lebron...Lebron...Lebron Pt. I

At this pivotal point in his career, Lebron "King" James is burdened with a decision that very few can comprehend...his legacy. And, though my intentions have always been for this to be a tech blog, as a lifelong basketball fan I felt I would be remiss if I did not comment on the impending decision facing one of the game's all-time greats. But, I'll make it short.

Taking everything into account, I think he should stay in Cleveland. He shouldn't leave his hometown without giving them at least one championship. They've supported and rallied around him his entire life. No matter where he plays, the money and endorsements will be there. And, he could always live in New York to manage his brand. But, that's just sentiment talking.

The reality of the situation is that during what has arguably been the most watched free-agent period the NBA has ever experienced, the Cavaliers haven't made any significant personnel moves that would bring the team, the city and Lebron closer to a championship. And, that's what it's all about....championships.

The opportunity to play with two other all-stars who are also in their prime is rare, and that's putting it mildly. Yet, for King James, that opportunity is at hand. Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh await you in Miami, with championships on the horizon. Can anyone say 4-peat?
