Yes, I am a Cleveland Cavs fan. For years, watching my team has earned groans, to cheers. Year in, year out, we have pined for a championship. Yes, many of us (me) are sill upset our golden boy left the team, and joined the Miami Heat. See, the aspect wasn’t Lebron is leaving, rain on his parade; rather it was the spectacle he put on to leave. First, let’s admit the last two games against the Celtics looked purposely thrown by Lebron, and let’s not forget the televised event where he dumped Cleveland. So, seeing the news of his cramps, creates a collective, Cleveland eye roll.
Lebron whined the air conditioning should had been on, and he doesn’t like coming across like he’s basically complaining about something he should have sucked up. Regardless, Lebron came out for game 2 and the Heat won.
Enter the eye roll and why?
It seems whenever Lebron has a stumbling block, it becomes his way to bring the cameras to him, and see him rise in heroic measure. The eye roll stems because Lebron can be called a bit dramatic, and extremely disappointing because he did not make the same attempts in Cleveland.
Anyone watching game 5 of the Cleveland/Celtics playoffs can plainly see Lebron standing off to the corner more times than not. Lebron faulted an injured elbow, but when he tossed the ball to the corner, away from Antony Parker, one can guess Lebron was getting ready to move onto greener pastures.
Sure, bitterness remains, even years later. Cleveland fans are all too aware of Lebron and his injuries and how they can obviously numb him to the point of not playing well.
We’re not saying Lebron is faking his injuries or cramps, but we may be saying he tends to exaggerate them for reason. A reason that lead to the tossed championship for Cleveland, and maybe another reason of becoming the rising hero for Miami Heat.
