So I wrote this before LeBron James is coming back to Cleveland. I am going to attempt to write a blog post about LeBron heading back to the Cavs before I head out to Eau Claire. We are under the gun here at SnoTap. Either that, or I will write one up for Saturday. This is more about the process to get here. I expected to have a LeBron James blog post up this morning talking about if he decided to stay with Miami, or if he came back to the city whom once loved him. But we have nothing. No one knows anything going on right now. There are so many people on the phone trying to figure out what could be the choice by The King. We are in the same spot we were in last night which for some is incredibly frustrating. The decision is likely coming today but who knows it might continue until the weekend is over. All I know is this has been much funner than the first decision. (As you can see this becomes irrelevant.)
Some people might be tired of seeing all of the ridiculous theories behind why LeBron is either going to Miami or coming back to Cleveland. I love every minute of it. The whole thing is fascinating to watch unfold like one big puzzle. Twitter has become a playground where rumors can fly like crazy. Fake Twitter accounts all over the place trying to spread rumors in hopes to dupe big name reporters from ESPN And Yahoo!. The new thing was linking or retweeting old links about LeBron and both cities. All of it is pretty hilarious. This time around with James it is met with great humor. I really enjoy it this time around, and much of it has to do with the beauty of social media.
In the first round of The Decision, social media hadn't really been running at full throttle. Twitter was just starting to get going as LeBron made up his mind. I believe I had just became 'Chuck's Corner's' on Twitter at this point. Further, I wrote several articles killing James for moving on to Miami. It was a little unnecessary honestly looking back on all of it, and a month after LeBron leaving, Sports News on Tap was born. Social media made this time around so much more fun because it is a topic we are talking about non-stop. At times it is a little exhausting, but the enjoyment of having the same conversation with a boatload of people is tremendous. July is a boring month for sports. When LeBron chooses his team, and the World Cup is over, sports will be just baseball until August. I love baseball, but it is much more fun to have multiple topics to talk about honestly.
There is not as much criticism of LeBron unless you write the hottest take possible at the Denver Post, but I digress. No one really cares where James goes outside of Miami and Cleveland fans. Mitch Pratt, my podcast co-host, asked me "Where do you want LeBron to go?" And I said, "Honestly, I don't give a shit." This is fun either way. Because LeBron either becomes a villain again by coming back to Miami reigniting the fire between Cleveland fans and LeBron. Or LeBron comes back to Cleveland with everyone welcoming back to the city he once spurned and it becomes one of the greatest yet weirdest sports story in a American history. As a blogger, you root for Cleveland due to the storylines being endless with LeBron rejoining the Cavaliers.
Waiting on LeBron is a fun thing, and we all know he will pick his next team while I drive up to Eau Claire this afternoon because that's my luck.
