The 12 Days of Christmas: Sports Edition

On the third day of Sports-Mas, let me give to thee: Two of the Big Three.

In July 2010, ESPN aired a one hour program called "The Decision," dedicated to LeBron James' announcement that he would be taking his talents to South Beach. As if an unprecedented cable announcement wasn't going to create enough pressure for the emotional fragile forward, then he went and guaranteed the Heat would win eight championships or more.?

To clarify: Nobody is "hating" on LeBron. Dude was completely within his his rights to go wherever the crap he wanted to after serving his time in Cleveland. But when you leave your home state in favor of Miami and guarantee eight championships, you better dang well deliver in the playoffs.?

Well we all know that LeBron didn't deliver in the playoffs, particularly in the fourth quarter against the Mavericks when it mattered most. No. 6 was more than willing to take cheap shots at a flu-ridden Dirk Nowitzki when the Heat were still up in the series, but his postgame presser following Game 6 was vintage LeBron. Essentially saying: "Yeah, maybe my team lost in the NBA finals to a less talented team, but tomorrow I'm going to wake up a millionaire and you're going to wake up a loser."

In a December 2011 interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols, LeBron showed a genuine remorse for his actions and how things went down regarding his departure from Cleveland. Personally, I thought his responses were genuine and that he legitimately regrets some of the spectacle and the hurt...I guess we'll see in 2012. ??
