I woke up this morning to the news that both Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade will sign with the Miami Heat. According to Woj, both Wade and Bosh believe LeBron has a real chance to join them in Miami. The Heat also have the cap room to trade for a point guard such as Andre Miller from the Portland Trailblazers.Meanwhile LeBron James has the audacity to call an hour long press conference that of course ESPN will show. LBJ claims it's for charity. Yes, he's calling an hour long press conference for charity. Whatever. This spectacle might be for charity but he's definitely doing it for the publicity. A-Rod declaring himself a free agent before the World Series thinks LeBron is starving for attention.
Jason Whitlock asked an interesting question on Twitter a week ago. "If LeBron went to college and was recruited by multiple teams, would he be going through with this spectacle?" My answer: no. Take Kevin Durant for example. Durant announced today that he signed a five-year extension with Oklahoma City. Durant was recruited out of high school. He doesn't feel the need to go through an whole ordeal like LeBron. Then again Kevin Durant is probably the most humble superstar anyone will ever meet. Let's hope he doesn't change because he is somebody everyone can root for.
Meanwhile like the rest of the American sports fans, I'll be watching LeBron's press conference tomorrow night on ESPN at 6 PM PT.
