Will King James reign again?
What should I do? Asks a serene looking LeBron James in a recently released ad film that is turning out to be one of the most innovative off-court projects taken on by none other than the king of the court, himself; The real drama
lies in the fact that the video points out to possibly one of the most controversial decisions of his heavily decorated Basketball career. Miami Vice star, Don Johnson with his entire charming persona in the film, depicts the response James is hoping from
his somewhat disappointed Cleveland Fan club at the moment.
It all started with the most surprising move of National Basketball Association during the off-season when LeBron James took his talent to Miami Heat from Cleveland Cavaliers; that too, not in a private meeting or a press conference,
but on a live TV show. “The Decision” as it was called was aired on July 8th, 2010 and it came as a surprise for most of the Cleveland Fans as well as James’ team mates. He went on stating, that the decision of moving to South Beach would give him
the best opportunity to win for multiple years. But isn’t that what LeBron James has been doing for years?
A three time winner of the “Mr. Basketball” title of Ohio while still in the High school; the media had already begun treating him as the future NBA superstar. The fame showered on King James knew no bounds as he turned out to
be one of the few lucky ones being offered a sponsorship deal even before his professional debut. Not to mention, he was the number one pick in the 2003 NBA Draft for Cleveland Cavaliers, only at the age of 18.
If you personify extreme agility and unlimited Basketball talent you get King James. He is often compared in technique to Basketball legends like “The big O” Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan. It was his privilege
to be named the NBA Rookie of The Year in the 2003-2004 season. He also carried the NBA Most Valuable player Award consecutively for a couple of seasons; in 2008-2009 and 2009-2010.
NBA has not been the only vent for his skills, since the King also reigned the Basketball courts internationally; winning a Bronze for his side in the 2006 FIBA World Championship and a Gold with team USA in the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_FIBA_Americas_Championship as well. The Bronze Medal in 2004 Summer Olympic Games and Gold in 2008 Summer Olympic Games is just another achievement for the reigning NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP).
Having played mostly in the positions of Small Forward and Point Guard during his career, James has also had the experience of playing in all five positions. With an average of 27.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game
in the regular seasons, James was eyeing some major opening in a big team; the opening came with Miami Heat where he was joined by his friends Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to form the new “Big Three” in Miami.
Surprisingly for James, the excitement and controversies off the court have been much more influential in his astounding career. Be it the 2007 NBA playoffs criticism when he declined to sign the Human Rights Petition started by
his teammate Ira Newble, or be it his love for the New York Yankees, Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bulls despite being a resident of Ohio all his childhood; Lebron roams like a King doing whatever he considers is the best to do. In the 2008-2009 season he triggered
another controversy by leaving the game floors without shaking hands with the members of the opposite team, declaring it a gesture that he felt was right.
No matter what follows, King James is back; though, this time in totally different attire with Heat written all over his jersey. Miami Heat has gathered a team of the best names in the business and all eyes are focused on the opening
stanza of the most hostile competition between Miami heat and Boston Celtics on Tuesday. So, will the King be roaming on the court again? Everyone except the Cleveland Cavaliers’ fans are hoping he will.
