We seem to be forgetting that LeBron never chose Cleveland. He didn't choose to be born and raised in a nearby town. He didn't choose to be drafted by them. He may have never even wanted to go there in the first place. When Cleveland won the lottery that year he may have been secretly disappointed. He signed an extension to stay, but maybe that's because they were an up and coming team and he thought they had a good chance to win. Or, maybe he felt obligated because the town had adopted him as their native son. Either way, when the time came to sign another extension and there seemed to be a better option, he bolted.
Cleveland got dumped. They got a drink thrown in their face and humiliated in a crowded restaurant, but when it comes down to it, they simply got dumped. Now, they've had time to think of the perfect thing to say. The one thing they know will make him feel as bad as he made them feel. Tonight, they finally get to say it.
