Cleveland could have paid him one hundred twenty-five million dollars over six years to stay. The most Miami could offer him was ninety-six million dollars over five years.
Finally, on July eighth, LeBron James announced his decision during a television special on ESPN.
LEBRON JAMES: “This fall, I’m going to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat.”
James is joining two of the best players in the league in Miami. Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were also free agents and signed with the Heat. The three athletes won the Gold Medal at the two thousand eight Olympics and are good friends.
However, many people criticized LeBron James’ decision. In Cleveland, fans felt like the basketball star betrayed his hometown and his team. LeBron James will try to silence the critics when the basketball season starts in October.
