I saw a touch of fear.
On a side note, I think the biggest story out of this whole situation is getting ignored. With LeBron gone, Delonte West can now continue to hammer LeBrons mom without it being awkward in the locker room.
Lebron James

LeBron got to the finals with nobody. Two of them with those nobodies could do it.
Anybody else catch the interview with Jim Gray on DP show this morning. Basically, told the story of how this "hour long special" came about. He ran into Mackenzie (LeBron's homeboy/manager/agent) @ NBA finals game 2. Gray mentions casually to him - "hey you should just buy some national network TV time and make the announcement." Mackenzie was intrigued. Later that night Gray ran into Mackenzie AND LeBron @ a restaraunt and mentioned it again. Gray pretty much just asked that he be given the interview. Mackenzie then "took it from there."
So, do I think it was LeBron's idea? No. Do I think LeBron minded the attention? No. Do I think he got some money out of it? No. Just persona/image, etc. which will help endorsement deals later on where he will be paid handsomely.

The heat winning a title is far from a done deal...they need a lot of veteran role players...they need a big man who can pull down play some D and weighs more than 230 lbs
My feeling is that if he was really concerned about the charity he could have just given some of his millions to the charity without the whole circus event.
Nailed it. Exposure. No money received from this "announcement special." But exposure which will help with being paid by endorsement deals (where most athletes pile up huge amounts of money.)
She is not even that attractive from pictures I've seen. Does Delonte have an alcohol problem?
And there would have been the EXACT same amount of coverage since it's LeBron freaking James. This way he gets some money to charities and controls the situation. I don't see the problem.
Do you really think if he didn't hold this ESPN wouldn't have been all over him anyway?
Pretty sure yaman meant exposure for the charities.. how could LeBron possibly gain more exposure?

And why did Calvin Murphy feel he needed to be one to come out and "validate" this story?
Count me as one who will be rooting against the Heat next year..and I don't even really like Cleveland all that much.
