<\/a>I had a choice tonight: to watch \u201cBlack Robe\u201d on Netflix or the Lebron James Sweepstakes on ESPN. Where are my priorities\u2014The story of Jesuit saints among the Hurons and Iroquois, or the King of the World, Lebron James, making the Choice that Changed the World? I went with Lebron.<\/a>
I don\u2019t think you can understand The World We Live In if you don\u2019t pay attention to the Lebron-Stakes. So many people saying so many empty words about a guy who has never won a game in an NBA final? Are you kidding? This is What It\u2019s All About!!! <\/p>\n
Let me give you some sound bites. It\u2019s 8:53 and the tension mounts: \u201cThe King has arrived. We are minutes away from Lebron James announcing where he will play next season . . . Jon Barry, what\u2019s the best fit for Lebron? . . . I don\u2019t think it\u2019s Miami. To me a straight basketball move would be the Chicago Bulls. His Decision is Coming Up Next! . . . At stake, the NBA\u2019s balance of power. His Decision, Next!\u201d<\/p>\n
In the history of the league, the world, we\u2014have\u2014never\u2014seen\u2014this!<\/p>\n
All indications (at 9:02) are that Lebron joins the Miami Heat, but Jon Barry says, \u201cI am really shocked by this, I thought Lebron would join the Chicago Bulls.\u201d And Michael Wilbon says, \u201cLebron is staying home in Cleveland.\u201d Stuart Scott says, \u201cNot in the history of American sports has an athlete generated this interest!\u201d <\/p>\n
Do I really need to go to Mass in the morning?<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, he is in the chair. Coming up next: Lebron James will tell the world where He will play next season!\u201d <\/p>\n
It\u2019s 9:22 and Jim Gray is with Lebron in Greenwich, Connecticut. . . . Lebron says, \u201cIt has been a real humbling situation to be in this position.\u201d Jim Gray says, \u201cPresident Obama has said seven times that he would like you to go to Chicago\u201d and asks, \u201cWhen did you decide?\u201d Lebron says, \u201cThis morning. . . . I had a great conversation with my Mom . . . and then I was set.\u201d<\/p>\n
I give Lebron this degree of credit. In the end, he asked his mother, and his decision was . . . Miami.<\/p>\n
You may win the NBA title next year, Lebron, but sorry, Christ is King.<\/p>\n
One final note added in the morning, in fairness: In the nearly 30-minute interview that followed his annunciation, sorry, his announcement, Lebron James proved to be a pretty good guy. The problem is not Lebron. The problem is us.<\/p>\n
