"...Now I think he's staying." ESPN Writer Bill Simmons wrote an article today about the NBA MVP Race but also touched upon LeBron in 2010. He writes:

And if you're a Cavs fan trying to talk yourself into LeBron staying after 2010, your best chance is this: Through 24 years, LeBron has proven to be an inordinately devoted guy. When you're with him, you're with him. The upcoming documentary (supposedly superb) about his high school years bangs this point home. So does the fact that he jettisoned his agents and surrounded himself with high school buddies. So does everything that happened this season. He's as good of a teammate as a player. The more I watch him, the more I wonder if such an intensely loyal guy would ever say, "Thanks for the memories, everybody," dump his teammates, dump his hometown and start a fresh life elsewhere. Although he isn't surrounded by the most talented players right now, collectively, it's a team in the truest sense, with a devoted set of appreciative fans, and maybe that's all LeBron James will need in the end.

I thought he was a goner four months ago. I think he's staying now. Regardless, he's our Most Valuable Player for 2009. It won't be the last time.

Key point is devotion... he most definitely is devoted- to his friends, his family his team, we all know and have seen it. It is tough to say hes leaving when he has led his team to the best record in the NBA. I do like that Bill did point out how LeBron really doesn't have a good team, LeBron is the team which I thoroughly agree. I guess it comes down to can he carry this team to a championship this year, and if he can, does he think he can do that year after year there with a cast like this, because Cleveland is making it pretty clear that they are not going to be able to put much better than this around him.
