LeBron to Chicago?

I mean, Cleveland? Really? Who really wants to live there? It’s even ranked in the top 10 of dangerous cities in the U.S. Which to me seems like a joke to begin with. But all in all, it’s time to start looking out for yourself LeBron. You gave Cleveland 7 years to help you win a championship. Granted, they got close once but got swept by the Spurs. So, it really wasn’t THAT close.

First the rumor was NYC. Kincks. Then the mention of Jzy-Z owning the Nets. Jay-Z owns like 1% of the team. I guesstimated that the Nets were worth $400M. I wasn’t off by much, $325M, according to Forbes. So, rumors of LeBron playing for Jay-Z and the new New “York” Nets. If the move, change the team name, etc…

So when MJ was asked where LeBron should play, he said Washington D.C. No, not really. He said Chicago. I don’t know if he elabrated on his thoughts. The online article was like 5 pages long and I don’t scroll down much. Sooo, yeah, Chicago.

Then in an interview Marv Albert had to Obama, the President dropped his opinion on where he thought LeBron should play next. Shocker he said, “Chicago”. The second thing I got from the Obama interview? Yea, I didn’t know there was a tennis court in the front yard of the White House.

Speaking of interviews, Larry King spoke with LeBron. Not as good as Larry and Snoop eating at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles but… Larry asked if Cleveland had a chance of getting him back. Cleveland only has a chance because I assume he feels comfortable there.

Other rumors of Phil Jackson returning to Chicago. Jordan, Kobe and possible LeBron? Geez, that’s a hard knock life.

So here’s my open letter to LeBron. Go… to… CHICAGO! There only a handful of respected NBA franchises. Boston, the Knicks, the Lakers, Chicago, Detriot and the 76ers. L.A. and Boston don’t need you and the rest are pooh-pooh teams. You could go to the highest paying team but is money really worth it? Did I just ask that? Yes, I did. I’m sure you’ll have no trouble making an ass load of endorsement money. The Bulls are the closest team other there that one star player away from making the finals. It’s a young team and will only get better in the next three or so years. If you want to win, you know where to go.

I found this web site the other day called “Send LeBron to Chicago”. It’s a grass roots campaign to get his attention. Check it out. They even put up a billboard in Chicago.  http://sendlebrontochicago.com/ I also thought to myself the other day, “If he does end up in Chicago, they aren’t going to let him wear No. 23. Didn’t he wanna change his number to 6 or something? Maybe he’ll wear No. 6″. Then I see this photoshoped picture of LeBron in a No. 6 Bulls jersey on “Send LeBron to Chicago”, crazy.
