Lebron James will stay in Cleveland

It seems like every time in class we bring up Lebron James it leads to a heated discussion. Our most recent one was what Lebron will do after his contract is up. I am here to ensure all you Cleveland fans that he will indeed stay after his contract are up. Here are a few reasons to get started.
1. He has yet to win a championship in Cleveland which is what he said he will do before he decides to leave.
2. With the advancement in marketing schemes and the internet a player can be in any city and still make millions of dollars if they at the start caliber of a Lebron James.
3.Deep down I think Lebron is a homebody.
4. The Knicks are a few years away from contending and the Cavs are in contention for the title now and in the future.


So lets evaluate reason number 1: Lebron has stated that he wants to win a championship for the city of Cleveland because they deserve it. If he were to leave Cleveland without a Championship ring it would be a blemish on his career. It would be considered one of the failures and as I can tell Lebron does not like to fail.

Number 2 : Notice the 8 story tall billboard of Lebron James hanging in Cleveland? There is one similar to that promoting his shoes in the middle of time square. Lebron does not need to be in New York to get more money. He is a global icon already and the internet has allowed for small market teams to cash in on their superstars. With a city full of star athletes already Lebron will be just another one and will not get the praise he gets in Cleveland especially if things go south.

Number 3: Lebron is a homebody plain and simple. He loves being home around all his friends and family he grew up with. He enjoys the fact they can come watch him play anytime because it is just a quick drive up 71 from Akron to Cleveland. Lebron enjoys going back to his high school and watching basketball games. He is more loyal to his teammates as well and with the friendships he has created with the organization and its players will be noted when it come to a decision on where to go.

Number 4: Lebron has been in the league for over 6 years now and its about time for him to start winning. There is no need for him to step back a few years with another team. To go to a team with a star player like D-Wade would only be like a blemish because people would say well if Lebron did not have Wade then he would not have all those rings.

So lets relax for now, enjoy the season the Cavs are having this year and lets keep an optimistic approach to Lebron's decision come contract time.
