Chris Bosh told ESPN that he's working on a documentary on how he, Wade and LeBron James joined up with Miami. He said he taped his meeting with Riley and some of his talks with Wade and James.​

OK, who is the biggest attention whore of the three? James...Wade....or...Bosh​

PLEASE let this happen. The NBA is well on its way to enjoying the same level of legitimacy as boxing. Really, Don King is the only thing missing from this farce.

ON LEBRON JAMES...

- Matta was then asked whether Ohio State's jerseys would continue to dawn the LBJ23 logo that represents LeBron James after the way the former Cleveland Cavalier spurned the city on national television.

He was quickly alerted to the fact that Ohio State?s game jerseys have not had that logo on them in two years (they only have the Nike check on them). He has not heard anything further about having the logo removed from practice gear, but assumes something will change now that LeBron isn?t even wearing No. 23 in Miami.

- He was then asked whether LeBron would still have good standing with Ohio State and the basketball team after what happened with his wild free agency this off-season. Matta said that he wishes LeBron would have stayed in Cleveland but they expect to continue their relationship with him.

?LeBron still loves Ohio and still loves Ohio State,? Matta said.

?We are a fan of him as a player, not just where is playing.?

Maybe ESPN analyst and "Around the Horn" panelist Michael Smith understood Team LeBron's take better than the rest of us: "His brand is not about whether you like him or not, it's about paying attention to him. He did this because he can. He's the king, and he rubbed it in everybody's face. It's a different day and age."

He is not now, nor has he ever been "The King?" He's only been the self-appointed ruler of the Kingdom of Empty Hype! Bill Russell was a King! Wilt Chamberlain was a King! Hell....

Clyde "The Glide" Frazier was a motherfucking King.

Kareem? A King. Dr. J? Magic? Bird? Isaiah? All Kings!

The greatest King of them all...Hell, a fucking Emperor.....

Lebron is nothing. He has proven himself to be nothing....simply a weak, transitory figure who may (or may not) be part of a winning team in the future. He's not fit to brush the sparkle out of Clyde Frazier's fur.

I didn't read the whole article but my point was that the Ombudsman should be concerned about ESPN's role in "The Decision". Not Lebron's decision itself.

My understanding (and i could be wrong) of the job of an Ombudsman is to be an impartial bystander and point out where a network or newspaper may have shown errors in judgment or coverage decisions.

ESPN can't control what Lebron's decision is, so why should the Ombudsman comment on it at all? His comments should have been directed towards ESPN's handling of the situation. Should they have aggreed to give control of the special to Lebron's management? Should they have allowed Jim Grey to do the interview instead of one of ESPN's reporters? Should they have given up their advertising rights? Should they have spent 8 am to 10 pm reporting on Lebron every 15 minutes?

That is my point. If it is an Ombudsman's job comment on the story as well as the coverage, then I stand corrected.
