Getting Over It: Easier Said Than Done

After Twitter alerted us to Dallas Maverick blogger Rob Mahoney’s absolutely bonkers Lebron James video using our version of “I Am Trying To Break Your Heart” leading-up to LeGone’s return to Cleveland with the Miami Heat to play against the Cavs, we were ready for the game, Mr. Greenweedz gives the rundown…

I sat around for the hype! Preparing, waiting, and rooting for Cleveland, with no dog in this race either way, but we all root for the underdog.  Lebron is a villain.  Not because he left Cleveland but how he left Cleveland: not classy, Lebron, not classy at all.  That said, who am I kidding?  Cleveland just isn’t that good and my heart wouldn’t let me know that they might get stomped by basketball’s “evil empire”, the Miami Heat. As I listened to Reggie Miller’s commentary last night, he said one thing that stuck with me: Get over it!

The city is like a jilted lover with misdirected anger, and frankly uneducated anger at that.  One chant was “Scottie Pippen” and though I know what they meant by it (inferring that Lebron is D Wade’s sidekick), quite honestly, Lebron needs to win a ring, let alone six of them, to even shine Scottie’s shoes.  The commentary had me keyed in way more than the game itself and I came away with even less respect for the Cavaliers: shaking Lebron’s hand, kissing him, and joking with him.  Where’s your pride?  Serve him.

Now the reality sets in.  What will Cleveland do?  They have to move on and I believe it will be through draft picks.  Cleveland, believe me, I know what you’re going through, the Bulls lost their knight twelve years ago and just found a superstar in D Rose.  Only difference is we got 6 rings out of it.  So it kinda softens the blow.

JC Brooks @ Wilbert’s debacle aside, I like Cleveland and I got plenty of friends from there.  And I think they should get over it!  That’s easy to say.  But as I say it, it’s more tongue in cheek because it took me until 2005 to get over Jordan.  Hell, I wish he was playing now.
