Taking it too far: Lebron James, Dan Gilbert, and Roland Martin go overboard
Obviously this has been big news. What hasn't been looked at enough, I think, is that the media is doing their job by covering a legitimate news event sure to interest readers/viewers. But is Lebron doing his job? His job is to win and maintain his focus on the basketball court. Increasingly it seems as though his focus is elsewhere.
Taking it too far: Lebron James, Dan Gilbert, and Roland Martin go overboard (via Loop 21):
So the Lebron James multi-million dollar sweepstakes is over. And it felt like one too. The hoopla was there and the only thing missing was a cheesy Ed McMahon with a sanctimonious grin and a stuffy suit. But Jim Gray was there to take his place during the one hour ‘Decision’ special that aired on ESPN. Sadly enough, he fit the bill.
Don’t get me wrong I think Lebron was justified in his right to not only leave the Cavaliers but also ensure he gets the best deal he can secure along with the best opportunity to earn a championship. He’s fulfilled his obligations to the Cavaliers, and he’s obviously also building his brand as well.
*UPDATE* Roland Martin responded to my article, via Twitter: "and the piece is nonsense."
