LEBRON MADE A MISTAKE GOING TO THE HEAT

by Walter Allen Bennett, Jr. on July 10, 2010

Okay, so it’s none of my business. I’m not him. I’m not a member of his family. I’m nothing to Lebron James. But that does not change the fact that he’s somebody to a mass amount of people. He knows he’s somebody to a mass amount of people or he wouldn’t have ended up on ESPN with a show called “The Decision”, simply to tell the world where he’s going to work for the next five years. Quite frankly, there are a ton of people in America who would love to be able to quietly tell their families around the dinner table where they’re going to be working for the next week or so.

What does that have to do with Lebron? Well in the midst of all of this unemployment out here,  folks reach out for a little escape. They look towards an evening at the movies, HBO, and if they’re lucky an evening at the basketball game to root for their hero. Hey, even if they can’t make it to the game folks settle for a chance to look at the big pictures in the sports section of their local newspaper or catch the highlights on the web, evening news and of course… ESPN.
