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.

LeBron learned from his past mistakes and faults to become a better player and person. I didn't used to like him much but he's clearly changed this season on the way to this championship. Losing to Dirk last season was probably the best thing that could have ever happened to him. It humbled him and allowed him to focus like he never had before. The fact that he was able to come through such adversity (some of which he created himself) makes the experience more gratifying.
