I certainly can't blame him for that, just as I don't blame Bosh for doing the same in Toronto. Seems to have worked out pretty good for the both of them. LeBron gets his championship to solidify his legacy as one of the NBA's future greats and Bosh gets to finally play an important role on a great team.

Look I'm ready to acknowledge he's grown up. Can you please acknowledge somewhat that he was an immature prick? He gave up on the Celtics series. Zero excuse for that. And the reason he didn't get the right help is because he never tried to. If he put in half the effort into recruiting as he does now, courting players like Nash, he would have won a championship. Dwight Howard did the same for Orlando. Nobody wants to go to Orlando if they have doubts Howard would stick around.
Kenton's biggest obstacle in Cleveland was himself. This finals, as I've said begrudgingly, was a whole new lebron. Its a shame it took sabotaging his whole reputation and throwing a good sports town under the bus to get there. But yeah, even if I hate the guy, kudos on him growing up.
