Lebron James for MVP

Yeah, why not? Should I hate the dude for what he did to my Cavs? Sure. A player of his caliber doesn't come around that often and when they do, you must watch. Lebron even said with joining the Heat his MVP votes would take a hit due to playing with Wade and Bosh. Honestly though, who else should win it? Dirk? Dwight Howard? Kobe? Rose? If you need any confirmation on why Lebron should be MVP watch these clips:

Lebron

Gone. Miami Heat.

It's still surreal. I expected it, but was still shocked when he said the words "South Beach". Shocked isn't the right word...gutted, is. Enjoy being the Scottie Pippen of this decade Bron.

Tonight you left the Cavs. That's fine and all. What's not fine is how fucked this city is economically. And I hate to say it, but we might not have a basketball team 5 years down the road if we continue down this path.

Thank you ESPN for again showing Cleveland's sports failures. I would love to have checked ESPNCleveland.com but you cocksuckers don't even have a site for small cities. Sorry we aren't Boston, New York, Chicago, LA or now ESPNMiami.com. After the his decision the show cut back to the panel and I had never seen Wilbon look as ghostly white as he did. He could barely form a sentence. He understood what just happened. The death of a franchise on National TV.

Lebron, if you really understood the history of basketball, you would not have left Cleveland. No LEGEND has ever left his city.

You will never be Michael, Kobe, or Bird.

Cavaliers Basketball.

I said I wouldn't do it. I promised myself I would not make this post. This season has been too good to be true, and growing up and seeing all the Cleveland failures, I do not want to believe this is actually a Cleveland team.

But my God, the Cavaliers. Yes, we have Lebron James. He can single handedly win a ball game. Just look at the video below.



Lebron aside, we've got a great back court for the first time since Ehlo and Price in Mo Williams and Delonte West. Z has been hurt, which really sucks because if there is any figure in Cleveland that deserves a title, it's him. He essentially polarizes everything about Cleveland sports. Longevity and dedication regardless of the team's record. Bad luck with injuries throughout his career. And getting to taste the finals, but never being able to win. I want Z to get a ring before he calls it quits.

With Z hurt, Andy Varejao's output has sky rocketed. He's taking 15 foot shots and actually making them. His hustle and grit is unremarkable. He's a grafter. Ben Wallace seems rejuvenated and I'd love to see him keep it up and go back to his 2003-2004 days.

Our bench is deep. I don't think I've ever been able to say that without sarcasm. Wally, Sasha, and Boobie. What I've liked about Wally the most this year is how he directs the court when he comes on with the other guys off the bench. Constantly keeping the squad together, telling them where to go, being a leader. A leader that this team has lacked when Lebron is off the court. Sasha is streaky. As much as I love the Serb, his play has lacked since his hold out last season, but it's getting back to the play everyone saw during the Playoff run back in 06-07. Gibson is just energy. He can defend and can shoot.

And then there's JJ Hickson and the other crop of rookies. Hickson sees the most time out of the others, but he also has deserved it. He mostly gets time when Wally is on the court and I believe that Wally's leadership (amongst others) has helped him immensely so far this season. And we'll need him later in the season, 82 games is quite a bit.

After tonight's win though, I couldn't help myself to post about this team. I've been dying to make this post for awhile now, I just didn't want to jinx it and watch the team come crashing down faster than a DC-10.

But we stuck it to Boston tonight, and even though it was a regular season game, it's still really nice to basically say "Fuck you Boston!"

So, Fuck you Boston.

Go Cavs!
