Lebron’s Going to Miami and We’re Not Surprised

While most of us were sobbing our Thursday night away when Bethenny got married (which was, btw, the sweetest thing ever), the rest of America was glued to ESPN, waiting for Lebron “King” James to make his announcement about which baskeball team he would sign with next. Inevitably, all the hype surrounding the one-hour special was anti-climatic, but it did help Lebron and ESPN make $1.5 million, which they will donate to the Boys and Girls club.

Needless to say, Lebron SHOCKED everyone and decided he was going to sign with the Miami Heat and leave his hometown Cleveland sad and lonely. People were angry, like really angry. Even Cavs owner Dan Gilbert wrote an open letter to Cleveland fans, calling the whole Lebron James decision “a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with the national TV special of his ‘decision’ unlike anything ever ‘witnessed’ in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.” (Ouch Mr. Gilbert, would you like to chew on this chill pill?)

Anyway, while the rest of the U.S continues to hate Lebron for pursuing his ambitions (he really wants to win), we here at CollegeCandy really aren’t surprised that Lebron would say TTFN to Cleveland and “What Up!?” to Miami. I mean, it’s Miami…we get it.

Miami, Florida. Um, DUH. Seriously, this is Miami we’re talking about. It has palm trees, beaches, scantily clad girls and a lot of hot clubs, at which loads of the biggest celebs get their party on. What does Cleveland have? The title of “Most Miserable City in the Country.” Read More »
