Here is the full letter: Dear Cleveland, all of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers supporters wherever you may be tonight; As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.

Just as Kobe is, and Jordan was. The problem was, the Bulls also had players. Jordan had a drive to win, a drive so deep he played with it night in and night out. He would have done whatever it took to win.

The best season in NBA history, the Chicago Bulls not only had Jordan, but they also had Scottie Pippen, arguably one of the best in the game at the time. Remember Steve Kerr, one of the best ever to shoot the three? He was also on the team. How about Dennis Rodman, the best defender and rebounder at the time? Amar' e Stoudemire accepted a five-year, million-U. It took the Atlanta Hawks a few days to consider, but they kept Joe Johnson with a six-year, The Bulls landed Carlos Boozer to help Rose.

Then James made that game-changing "Decision. Of course, it was not that easy to make a champion team like that, three need help. That's why all of them accepted pay cuts to the Heat could sign others, like Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem. James had the superstar teammates he craved for seven years, but his move also made him the biggest villain and crook in NBA history.

They come to you. That's ridiculous. After leading all parties to believe he would not exercise the escape clause, he nevertheless opted out of his deal with the Dodgers and signed a bigger deal with the Red Sox.

You're a goddamned Boston Red Sox legend, for Pete's sake! What in the hell are you doing?!?! Manny left Cleveland much the way LeBron has—in search of much more money and an opportunity to win. But his Benedict Arnold moments came during the season, when Manny began to sour on Boston.

Manny reported refused to swing the bat in certain late-inning situations, and then shoved to the ground an elderly clubhouse attendant, thus hastening his departure from the Red Sox. Cleveland then proceeded to release him from his contract making him a restricted free agent. Just one year into his big free agent contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, he demanded that his contract be renegotiated. When the Eagles refused, he became a constant distraction to the point of being suspended, deactivated, and ultimately released by the Eagles.

And then he had the audacity to sign with the Dallas Cowboys, the most-hated Philadelphia rival in sports. I chose this picture of Tiki because it makes him look like a self-absorbed prima donna, which is what he is. After a playoff loss in , Tiki called out the New York Giants players and coaches for their lack of preparation. Then, in the middle of the season, Tiki announced that he was going to retire at the end of the season, casting a pall over and serving as a distraction for the remainder of the season.

Despite having come out against franchise relocation during the Baltimore Colts debacle, despite the fact that the city of Cleveland overwhelmingly supported using a sin tax to raise revenues to remodel Municipal Stadium to update it for the Browns, and despite having promised never to move the team and having told melodramatic stories of how devastated he was when the Brooklyn Dodgers had left his native Brooklyn By holding a prime-time news conference to announce to the world that the City of Cleveland was losing one the best athletes in professional sports, LeBron showed all the qualities we suspect our favorite athletes possess but hope they do not.

LeBron showed the entire world that he has an enormous ego, he cares about himself first and all others second, and that the game of basketball is just that to him, a game. Louis, or even of Joe Mauer, the local boy turned good in Minnesota, choosing to sign a contract extension and remain with the Twins even though he could have made more money elsewhere. LeBron said on Thursday night that this decision is all about winning. That is untrue; while winning may be a part of it, this is really all about LeBron.
