Sidenote, I didn't know what to think of Lebron pitching the ESPN special for his decision, but then realized he donated all the advertising money ($500 grand) to Boys and Girls club of America from it.
Yea, 'The Decision' wasnt needed but it was good media, didnt know about the donation, that really shows alot for Lebron imo. He left alot of $$ of the table and still gives to charity.

I "The Decision" was pretty ridiculous imo. He was serving his own growing celebrity more than anything with it. He just wants more attention.

It was like a stab in the back to Cleveland to do it that way on national television.

The charity thing is just PR move to make it look good. The guy is basically a billionaire, $500,000 is a drop in the bucket to him.

"The Decision" was really ridiculous but 100% of the ads and shit (so I hear) went to charity so meh. Let the guy play out what he missed by skipping college, and let him enjoy it.

Only loser in the situation is Cleveland, and Cleveland was a loser long before that decision.
