It’s tough having as many expectations as LeBron James has. He’s been the “King” for so long that people forget he’s human too.
In fact, many of those same people forget that basketball isn’t just a game. It’s a business. So the fact that James is opting out of his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers shouldn’t offend or hurt anyone. It’s simply business.
Re @KingJames free agency. I’ll never understand why people take issue w/ a player taking his leverage. This is business, not marriage

The crazy thing is James is expected to sign a one-year deal with the Cavaliers again with an option for a second year — just like he did last Summer.
