Lebron James Nike Commercial / Cleveland Reply

HERE IS THE ORIGINAL COMMERCIAL:




HERE IS THE CLEVELAND FAN BASE REPLY:





I personally think LeBron James broke no NBA rules in his leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers.  Was it the most professional and respectful way to leave the team, especially being the franchise player, no.

As personally attached as we may become to our favorite athletes, actors or musicians, it is still a business.  The amount of money donated during the televised "The Decision" where he announced he was leaving his current team, was quite commendable.  But I do disagree with statement of him not being a role model.  People become role models whether they like it or not. Whether you care or not is the real issue.
Definition of a Role Model:
An individual who is looked up to and revered by someone else. A role model is someone who other individuals aspire to be like, either in the present or in the future. A role model may be someone who you know and interact with on a regular basis, or may be someone who you've never met, such as a celebrity.
