Oh please -- "... if you don't agree with me you must have an anti-Cleveland agenda..."

If you don't agree with me, or if you don't agree with the vast, vast majority of national (read: not Cleveland-based) commentary on the subject? Or have you not bothered to read anything outside the SW Ohio area today (which, shockingly, is the area in which the majority of the people ripping Cleveland on BP today are from)?

Report: LeBron calls paparazzi for Miami arrival

LeBron James diva act hit South Florida for the first time since leaving Cleveland to play for the Heat. He arrived in the middle of the night and made sure the paparazzi were on hand for his arrival.
Tabloid reporters were all called by LeBron?s people to the hotel at around 3:00am to get pictures of the prima donna basketball player arriving, according to Media Take Out.
Expect to see lots of LeBron on the gossip websites in the coming years from the Sunshine State. In Cleveland when you call the paparazzi, they have to fly in.
James doesn?t have that problem anymore.

Some good lines from Slate's live discussion of The Decision:

TS: His choice is to go win a championship as Dwyane Wade's Scottie Pippen, or to go join a team that is not a championship team and hope it can grow or be further built into a championship team.
TS: And if he's going to do that, he might as well stay in Cleveland.
...
JL: Yes. And does LeBron realize that by saying he made the best decision for himself he's going to be called selfish?
TS: It is not totally clear to me that LeBron realizes that words mean things.
JL: They just showed LeBron's jersey being burned!
TS: That was the first exciting thing in this broadcast.
...
JL: Don't you bus in children to your made-for-TV announcement so the children can cheer and squeal? Even the children?the children!!?seemed shocked and dismayed.
JL: It's like the kids were invited to the Bozo the Clown show and were forced to watch Bozo murder a puppy. With all the proceeds of the puppy-killing going to charity, of course.
...
JL: For someone so concerned with public relations, he seems utterly incapable of relating to the public.
JL: Really, this is all a PR failure.
JL: It's like he's having an affair and he just gave the Tiger Woods speech rather than the David Letterman one.
JL: We've learned that the quality of Michael Jordan's that LeBron has failed to emulate has nothing to do with basketball. It's Jordan's brilliance at not saying anything.
JL: He never talked in his commercials.
TS: He talked some, but only in tightly scripted wry-sounding snippets.
TS: LeBron talks and talks and not one word ever registers as meaning anything.
...
TS: Why didn't he appear alongside Bosh and Wade, so the three of them could announce it all together?
JL: That would've seemed more magnanimous. And maybe he would've kept his mouth shut a bit more.
TS: Then the storyline would have been three buddies decide to go in together to try to do something amazing.
JL: Rather than the storyline being asshole leaves Cleveland in assholish manner.

huh, sounds familiar.

Pretty pathetic attempt there. There's a huge difference between terminating an incompetent nincompoop and spending seven years building up this fabricated image of yourself and them leaving for "greener pastures"....in a very public manner.

I liked this one
JL: I think that's the problem with The Decision. We can call it LeBron's Law: If you are voluntarily making a public Decision about your life, and the Decision will not be greeted by cheers and hugs and balloons, it's probably a bad idea to make said Decision on national television in front of a live studio audience.

I felt the same thing, hysterical. It was like he abused those kids with his announcement.

This shit backfired at epic proportions for him.
