A HURT HEAT FAN.. BUT STILL HAVE TO THANK LEBRON FOR THE GREAT MEMORIES

Like most Miami Heat fans, I spent the last few days searching the internet for clues to Lebrons decision on Bleacher Report, Espn, LebronJames.com  or just about every other website giving out basketball news updates. So when I woke up 2 hours after going to sleep at 8 am after a long graveyard shift at work... first thing I did was look at my phone and when I saw that Lebron was returning to Cleveland and after I read the essay on King James website, all I could do was feel gratitude for the 4 years of phenomenal basketball. Am I sad that he left? Sure but I get it... How can you knock a man who just wants to go home. Sure they burned his jersey in Cleveland they bashed him and hated him in Cleveland for a little while... The Owner even posted a scathing letter calling him a coward. Still after the region where Lebron grew up hated him and for years  he pushed his feelings aside and brought us Heat fans 4 NBA finals appearances and 2 Championship rings...
  Put yourself in his shoes... the city you called home hated you and despised you.  A chance at redemption... there was no way Riley could compete with that. At the end of the day Im pretty sure Pat Riley understood. So Thank you Lebron for the great memories... the 4 years of trashtalking I was able to do lol.
  When it is all said and done.. Lebron will go down as the greatest basketball player of all time. Alot of you Jordan or Kobe fans will talk about the amount of rings or compare stats blah blah blah... I guess that debate is about your definition of greatness.
 I am a Heat fan... I always will be.. but Lebron also has a fan in me. Lebron understands how important he was to that region. Its bigger than basketball...
  So as a real Heat Fan I appreciate all of the bandwagoners that joined us for the ride... we will drop you all of in Cleveland.. or whatever new team you wish to root for..(Im guessing whoever will be winning at the time) Lets all see now if Pat Riley can build us a new contender! I look forward to Parrish's breakdown on what will be next for the Heat.

So Please Heat Fans lets not burn jerseys and lets just keep it to the funny memes on IG, Twitter, and facebook.  
So Good Luck Lebron and Thank You I will continue to root for you... until you play The Heat
