a>This will be an ongoing series of articles, laying the ground work for a long lasing hate fest for Lebron James. Lebron now joins the ranks of Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Tiger Woods, Albert Belle, Chris Brown, Michael Vick, Floyd Landis, Lance Armstrong, Kobe Bryant, Amare Stoudamire, Mel Gipson, Terrell Owens, Bill Romanoski, Floyd Mayweather, Josh Koscheck, Ron Artest, Michael Richards, Isiah Thomas, Bob Knight, Al Davis, scott Boras, Shawn Merriman, Rasheed Wallace, Roger Clemons, Robert downey Jr., Jerry Jones, Plaxico Burress, Latrell Sprewell, Michael Jordan, need I go on???!!! Can’t believe I came up that many off the top of my head! LOL.

I thought at first you would need to have a laundry list of evil deeds including: felonies, domestic violence, steroid use, firearms violations, assault and battery, theft, and other jail-able offenses. After the now infamous airing of “The Decision”, I guess I was wrong. He went from being the “Savior of Cleveland Sports” to a traitor, Benedict Arnold, a coward, a liar, and the worst man in Cleveland history surpassing when Art Modell moved the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore. Wait (sound of a long record skip)… Lebron is worse than the man that took a WHOLE FRANCHISE AWAY FROM CLEVELAND???? Last I looked, The Cavs were still a franchise.
Let’s dissect this a little bit. Born in Akron to a single mother (which is a story in itself with the new man suing the James over paternity fraud), who worked to give everything Lebron wanted and couldn’t afford. Was it a mistake? Spoiling your child is not a crime, but it can be detrimental to that child in the future. The man has been called a legend even before he finished the 8th grade. Scouted by the NBA since he hit high school, some scouts said that he could have gone to the NBA after his junior year of high school! At this point, Lebron hasn’t reached 18 years old yet. It was evident from an early age that he was always trying to please other people. Before “The Decision”, there were your typical haters that just hate to hate. My opinion of when his “Global” quest to be a billionaire athlete is when things really took a negative turn. The firing of Aaron Goodwin in favor of starting a marketing company named LRMR Marketing. The members included: Lebron, Randy Mims, Maverick Carter, and Richard Paul. When Goodwin was let go, Lebron was the fourth highest paid athlete. Biggest thing to note here is that he was 22 when he made this decision.

I will leave it here, because this is part 1 in about 1,000! This isn’t going to die anytime soon!
