“The Decision” That Nearly Destroyed Lebron James’s Career ☠️ |

He instantly became the biggest villain the NBA had ever seen on that day. Let’s take a closer look of the infamous moment that nearly destroyed Lebron James.

Facts Cleveland was a trash franchise that couldn’t build a team around him so he joined a better team. Kevin Garnet did the same thing with the Timberwolves but no one shits on him for joining Boston’s super team. It’s literally the exact same thing people just hate on lebron for no reason.

He will always be known as someone who had another all star to carry him every year he won a ring. In Miami he had Bosh and D Wade, then he went back to Cleveland with kyrie and then he won with AD and a super team with LAL. Lebron would not have and rings if it were not for refs and other stars carrying him to victory, that explains why in the 2007 FINALS he choked because he sucks in clutch situations. Lebron is ass to be honest.
