LEBRON: STAY, LEAVE, HADER?
Lebron is King. Or so, any fan of his, (and his brand) will tell you. He’s broken almost as many records as Jordan (save for the amount of rings) and he’s done it in multiple cities, surrounded by various groups of guys, and he’s done it maturely and with a badass swagger that we’ve come to expect to our super stars.
But now, with his playoff hopes on the line yet again, what’s the big man going to do? When he left Cleveland, people literally shit their pants, took them off, set them on fire, and flung them at their tv’s and loved ones. It was anarchy. But since the beginning of the year (and time in memorandum it would seem), the proverbial “water-cooler” talk is where he’s going to be traded to. Some would tell you that it’s the King’s Court itself that’s planting the rumors of him going to Houston, or Golden State (which any monster hating, dynasty loathing fan will groan at), but is it true? Will it happen when Cleveland eventually shits the bed this playoffs?
But what’s best?
Look, he was fucking brilliant in TRAINWRECK. Anyone who can hang with Bill Hader comedically, deserves to at least consider pulling a ROCK and changing careers. Bill Hader is the man. I mean are you watching BARRY on HBO right now?
I digress.
So, should he bang it out with the home team one more time? Should he jump to yet another AVENGERS style meet up team and make an asterisked run at another ring?
Or is it time for him to step away, take his laurels, and go start an empire with Kobe and Keegan Michael Key?
You tell me.
Hate him? Love him? Don’t care?
What is basketball?

Um, ball is life.
But in all seriousness, Cleveland's offense is garbage. I think it's partially Lebron's fault for not trusting anyone but man are they hard to watch sometimes. I'm not really sure how they fix it in the offseason either, short of getting a CP3 or a PG Lebron actually trusts. My bet is he stays though - at this point his "image" is more important to his future than another ring.
Plus he can always try to beat Kobe in Oscars....oh wait...
Personally, I hope that he sticks around in Cleveland. He left once, got a huge amount of backlash, and was eventually welcomed back and brought a championship to the city. Leaving again would probably just leave a salty taste in a lot of people's mouth (except for LA or Philly where I think would be his options most likely).
Then again, time and time NBA players have left teams to join other ones to either win a championship or just for the most money. I never really understood this since, what's the difference between 25 million and 30 million? The money he makes, who cares what you get paid? But I'm also not an NBA player so I can't speak much about their ideas and opinions.
Either way, it's his choice. It would be nice to see him stick around and ride it out with the team and city. He has gained a lot of respect recently and I think he will stay, but if he does go, I hope it's somewhere to not have another super team.
For the sake of Brown's fans, stay! Although the Indians can have a chance maybe...
I am glad to see such great player of Basket which is really a king in the form of Jordan I hope King will do better to get success in playoffs & Great player don't loose hope & Jordan will definitely will make some great efforts to defeat opposite team thanks @writesbackwards for sharing this great post keep it up.
I think he will explore his options. No way is he staying in cleveland with this current team. I'm surprised they got past the first round (granted it was SOLELY due to James heroics). After dan gilbert and the front office traded kyrie for dust I can't see them making any quality pick ups to improve his chances of staying. He won his 'ship for The Land he has closure now lol. I also agree once he's ready to hang it up it will be an easy transition for him considering how he has set his self up for successes on screen and many, many entrepreneurial opportunities. True professional.
Literally speaking, i genuinely never watch basketball match which that explorative way, but i watch sometimes, but in my opinion in sports players face many phases and ups and downs and sometimes they get huge support sometimes they receive hatred and criticism, and people who handle all these situations they at last grow as an player and if people think that the life of sports person easy then they should think it in an opposite way because, sports person have to rise every time whenever they fall down in game of life. And in my opinion, it's the decision of the player as from where he wants to play. Thanks for sharing and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂
He will most likely go to LA and pursue commercializing his brand and having easier access to the Hollywood machine. He already has the ability with internationally endorsements to do whatever he wants where ever he wants. But the bottom line is, who wants to live in Cleveland winters after you made a billion dollars?
And if you can't respect that, your whole perspective is whack maybe they'll love me when i fade to black.
Is Barry really that good?
Yeah, I would hope he goes to LA and starts making cool, funny things. He has the right timing.
And yes, BARRY is freaking awesome. Hader's performance is awesome. Subtle, spontaneously violent, yet innocent and naive AF. Definitely a must see.
I'll check it out! Thanks for the rec, think Lebron wins tonight?
Excellent King Lebron is undoubtedly the best of today's friend today he did a great job vs Indiana and eliminated them his team to semi final is great thanks for sharing friend
James is living a magic season. No one can stop him.
Just himself.
He is battling ALONE IN THE LAND.
I think that this is the great year for LeBron. He probably will not win the MVP title, but he has showed his huge powers in the regular season.
Harden is surely in his best season and they are the most charismatic players in the league with LeBron.
