I Believe

For all of us from NE OH..we have always believed.  We knew this kid was special.  I remember watching the NBA Lottery on TV as time seemed to slow waayy down as that ping pong ball bounced around as the #2 pick was about to be announced.  From that point..it was clear the future of CLE sports would change.  One ping-pong ball away from continuing the constant pain of an Ohio Sports fan.  But just like that stupid commerical with Jordan missing the shot on Ehlo, it didn't happen.  The ball landed in our court and we have the King. 

And 3 years later, he is still our King and still shocking his fan base.  We all know he was going to do it as we put so much pressure on him, but he has never let us down.  Never failed..never cracked. The game saturday as everyone by now has noted..was truly special.  It was amazing.  I watched a re-run of the Cavs vs Bulls from 89 the other day and really analyzed Jordan.  While way skinnier at that stage in his career, he was awesome...I mean dominate.  But I just think with LeBron's size, vision, and evenly distributed talent..I mean you know what I am getting at.  Only time will tell. 

But what happened saturday was just another early chapter in the book of King James (hey..see that a reference to religious jersey).  And to top it all off, Nike did a great job promoting the shirts, billboard, and commerical.  Tingles baby..

And one final note..our man on the inside Brian Windhorst is becoming very famous for basically being the authoritative voice on the King from a hometown perspective.  He is all over ESPiN now and thx for this amazing article on all of LeBron's debuts. Brian is showing the rest of the world how awesome this kid has always been while exposing us all to Northeast Ohio athletics and community.

I am a witness...
