You can call it backtracking...but I now have some respect for LBJ that I never had before. Between 2003-2010, I never cared much for him. When "The Decision" came down, I didn't like him even more. But after the letter in SI, I finally have respect for him. He finally said the things I've been wanting to hear him say. I'm NE Ohio born and raised, and I'm so tired of people who aren't from here down trotting us. I'm even more tired of hearing people from hear downtrot it. It's nice having support from a big-time celebrity, who chooses to come back to this place. I've always felt that NE Ohio is a special place, and it's in need of a lot of love and a lot of work. LBJ reflected that same opinion in SI, hence the reason I respect the guy now. As for support of the Zips, I still want to see a more vocal, more public support of the Zips, before I start swooning a "Thanks LeBron for supporting the Zips" song.

I was never a LeBron fan even before the 2010 decision. However, after reading that article and how much he seems to have learned and matured, I'm now a fan. Born and raised in NE Ohio, I really appreciate the respect of this area that he published today. If you want to be so petty as to say I "backtracked" so be it. People make mistakes, learn, grow, forgive, and forget. It's human nature. Am I going to Cavs games now...No. However, I respect LeBron now and am happy for him and for Cavs fans.

Romeo's Mom is classic!

Just imagine how big a circus it will be in two years... I don't see any of these guys signing for more than two years. Why? The CBA is up, and the teams are looking at a much higher salary cap because of the increased TV revenue. Which should also increase the amount of caish a maxed player makes. When a conversation on the Mike and Mike show makes Fox8 news, you know the world is going to hell.
