Humility is not overrated

Okay, here's my take on the whole LeBron James thing, since I know you've been dying to know what I'm thinking about it. First, the kid should be able to play basketball wherever he wants to. The fact that he could choose his team from many suitors is cool. He's an incredibly good player, and he worked hard for this opportunity.
Having said that, I think he handled this incredibly badly. The smart James would have made his decision quietly, called the Cleveland team to let them know, and then released a statement before holding a press conference. The ridiculous, ego-driven, immature James was in charge though. He danced around announcing his choice, led a one-hour ESPN special for it, didn't tell anyone who he had chosen before it was said on TV, and acted as if all the attention was due him. It's almost as if he wanted to turn off a good portion of the basketball-loving public with his antics. He could have handled this so much better.
And having said that, I'll also say that the Cleveland Cavaliers president is a frickin' idiot, going off about James' behavior in an open letter that was laced with incredible anger and blatant derision not fit for the kid that did do a lot for the team, the city and the fans.
