After Lebron James announced on national television that he is not playing with the Cleveland Cavaliers any more, the city immediately felt its big loss. That night, the huge billboard of the player was torn down and all his images in the city were removed. In local shops, all shirts, mugs, basketball bearing his name and signature were also kept and hidden for good. Jerseys with the number twenty-three were discarded and in his very colleagues junked their mementos of him. Overnight, the most beloved player became the most hated villain of the city’s history.
Millions were dumb founded when they learned the news. His fans could never understand why he came up with such a decision. It was well known that he was able to help Cleveland’s economy when he rose to stardom and everybody thought that it would stay that way. The city made a unanimous generalization that James act was understandable but it is not done in a preserving way.
Right now, Cleveland is still contemplating why their most beloved and talented players continues to leave them. James was able to attract a lot of tourists and investors to the city and the economy by then seemed to be stable. Now that he is gone, the city was left with a very low income and angry, hurt citizens. Though the Cleveland mayor, Frank Jackson said that there is nothing personal between James and the city, the painful blow will remain a bruise in the hearts of the citizens for a long time. As of now, though Cleveland seems to be going back to normal, there is no doubt that their tourism is at a low rate and their sales are not picking up. Investors are pulling out and the city is struggling hard to support its remaining habitants.
The Cavaliers on the other hand is faced with the challenge brought about by the exodus of their best player. Now, they have to fill up James’ place in the roster with someone who will compensate for the loss. Though they can trade players, the coach wanted to see if the team could work together to be title contenders still.
As for Miami, things are going on smoothly. With another NBA star on their territories, Miami’s economy is booming and soaring up high. Tourists are flocking to see the NBA stars and investors are establishing businesses there like there’s no tomorrow. The Miami Heats are confident that they will emerge victorious as another MVP was added to their roster.
Meanwhile, in Cleveland, as the people begin to reestablish their city and reclaim themselves, James Lebron was no longer part of anybody’s memory. Though the world may Cleveland as a worthless dump that is deserving of James’ departure, its citizens are still proud of their dump.
