Ah yes, the National Basketball Association. That wonderful world where grown men can discuss the recent happenings and drama surrounding the league. I can envision a day where re-runs of NBA drama segments be played out on the “Soap Opera Network” (Channel no. 262 on DirecTV for those interested).
Some feel LeBron James has found his home in Miami. Others feel (due to these 2014 NBA Finals) that he will now leave the city for a better opportunity.
I mean this is America, the land of opportunity, right?
What has LeBron James not done in his NBA career thus far? Champion? Check. MVP? Check. Finals MVP? Check. The most dominating basketball player in his era? Check. Hall of fame career? Check. Leading his hometown team (Cleveland Cavaliers) to their first ever championship? Silence.
The only thing this guy has a burning desire for are these two things: winning more titles to increase his legend among the all-time greats; and bringing his home-town of Cleveland the championship that proud city deserves.
What better way to do both than join a Cleveland team full of promise.
The Miami Heat are now old. Time seems to have passed them by and they are in for a bit of a tweaking this summer, which could lead to a struggling next season.
Meanwhile, Cleveland has star guard Kyrie Irving and the number one selection in the NBA’s upcoming draft, according to FullyClips.com. This makes for interesting discussion around the campfire.
Does LeBron think the possibility of playing with Kyrie Irving and that number one selection (possibly Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker) give him that story-book ending to a career only one can dream about. Or are those reports about Cavs owner Dan Gilbert and James so true and so vicious that a reunion truly is an impossibility.
One NBA player is now on record, thinking “The King” will leave Miami. Houston Rockets forward Chandler Parsons: "I just don't think he'll be back on the Heat. I think he's done all he can do there and I think it's time for him to move on,” Parsons said recently.
"I can't see the Lakers. I honestly can't. I could see him maybe going back to Cleveland. I could see that,” according to CBSSports.com.
Parsons and James are by no means close friends. This is just another example of the drama that the NBA thrives off of every off-season. Whatever the case may be, we will eventually find out what happens, just like every other drama.
