Dear LeBron,

     Thank you for coming into our lives just two years after we “lost” our most recent favorite athlete to watch. You have all the physical skills that virtually guarantee success in your sport, barring injury of course.  Yet there you are, failing in the most pivotal of moments, the NBA finals.  Sure you were great in the last two series, that only makes it more interesting to watch you struggle now. Not only do you struggle though, no, you give us so much more to watch and talk about.  In this era of talk radio, various sports shows, and 24/7 coverage you give us exactly what we need. Oh, did I mention the fact that you still have yet to win a championship? Thank you LeBron!

     We watched you, YOU LeBron James, possibly the most talented basketball player to ever play NBA basketball, join another great player’s team, a player who is not as talented as you, but who has something you want, that ring.  That player is Dwayne Wade, and not only does he have a ring, but he EARNED it.   We have seen you seem socially awkward all season, starting with how you handled the night of “The Decision” even before the cameras went on. You ignored the Cavs and every other team you were going to turn down that night.  Going back to last year against Boston, and now this year versus the Mavs when you have failed, you  have confounded us with your odd behavior.  We make our sports drama more dramatic. It will be a shame if and when you do capture your first ring.

     For now though, you remind us of Marino, Kobe After Shaq, Peyton Manning, and most definitely A-Rod.  Once again thank you so much.

                                                                                 

Fanatically
