Lebron James Miami Decision Parallels High School Decision

August 17, 2010 – Dr. J-Water

In the video below GQ writer J.R. Moehringer talks about his article about LeBron James which will be released early September as the cover story of GQ. Moehringer who has obviously done his homework on Lebron James has a pretty interesting theory on why Lebron James chose Miami. His belief is that Lebron was trying to recreate his high school experience where he chose the mostly white school instead of the mostly black school in Akron, Ohio so that he could play with all of his buddies. Definitely worth a listen folks:

Lebron to GQ: “And Clevelanders, because they were the bigger-city kids when we were growing up, looked down on us. … So we didn’t actually like Cleveland. We hated Cleveland growing up. There’s a lot of people in Cleveland we still hate to this day.” {via ESPN}
