Lebron hyperbole coming at you...

So I guess this post, being NBA centric, is for Dad. I'm writing this from my cell phone in a cafe so I hope it works. Every one here is super generous and always wants to treat me to "coffee." It's offending to say no and, well, frankly, not a lot else going on so I oblige them usually. I get a cola or fruit juice. Depending on how missionary-ish I feel I can explain they I don't drink coffee because of the gospel or I'll say something like we canadians don't drink coffee when it's this freakin' hot out (true.) Usually the latter. Lol. But seriously, 33 degrees out, middle of the afternoon, "let's get a coffee!" And when I tell them it's to hot they'll usually spout off some fifties mumbo jumbo like, "no it's good to drink hot stuff when it's hot." "calms the nerves," or "keeps the spine straight"... Lol

Anyways since the past few days I get to wake up to a tsunami of twitter posts every morning (like the alliteration?,) and since these cafes have free wireless, they'll ask me what I'm reading about.

Now I love that I can walk down the street and have an in depth conversation with any random guy about soccer. Everybody knows what's goin on. That said I'm hard pressed to find anyone who has heard of lebron james, never mind knows about free agency. Besides big clubs buying all the best players is the norm here so imagine trying to explain a soft salary cap.

But anyways heres my Lebron/Bosh beef. First, I don't know when bosh turned into such a media whore. I guess he got so much good press for those (not that funny) all star youtube bits he did. But all these stupid meetings they all took with all these stupid tweets saying how they were all "great meetings" and "got some real thinking to do"... Shut up. Lebron let the cat outta the bag by saying you'd all decided this way before this week. So screw you. You thanked toronto as an after thought on twitter. you tricked everyone into thinking you had even a ten percent chance of coming back. You filmed the whole thing hoping to make a second crappy dvd with you're new buddies. You faked it all. You're a drama queen, you suck.
But Lebron is worse. His fans really loved fan. I liked him. Seriously did anyone really have anything that bad to say about the guy before this. Raptors fans had given up on bosh long before now. Nobody in toronto is burning Bosh in effigy. We're gonna boo Carter louder than bosh.
But lebron really was the king in cleveland and it got to his head, and apparently all of his advisors were either dreaming of the beach or too scared to say "hey bron-bron, instead of twisting the knife in every cavs fan s back with an hour long special, how bout a little contrition and we tone it down a notch." Nope. A big nationaly televised eff you. Lebron s bachelor involved him breaking up with his devoted wife of seven years to propose to the surgically enhanced and vapid stripper from Miami on national tv. Cold. I hope they suck and miami fans turn on them quick. and I hope cleveland fans, and basketball fans everywhere give it to the new evil empire everywhere they go.
