written by:stacia_doss.Will LeBron "King" James have a new city to reign over? All the buzz has been about whether or not James will stay in his hometown to play with the Cleveland Cavaliers or start again with another team.
There are many advantages to staying in Cleveland, but critics fear that the NBA star could be held back from winning championships if he stays with his current team. Thus, preventing him from being in the ranks of other basketball greats like former player Michael Jordan and current player Kobe Bryant, both of whom James is often compared.
Teams across the league have been trying their best to up their salary cap in order to accommodate James and make the financial factor more attractive for him. The last I checked, though, Cleveland can still offer him the most money.
My question is, is it really about money anymore though? With the sizable salary and numerous endorsements James has under his belt, money may be a smaller factor than the public would think, at this point. Anywhere he ends up, he's going to be making much more than an ample amount.
The New York Knicks and the Chicago Bulls were the top teams that had been more than rumored about wanting James, but with New York's huge sign with Amare Stoudamire yesterday, I believe they are out of the running. The Miami Heat have now emerged as possible front-runners to sign James.
Thursday night, on ESPN, King James will officially announce who he is signing with for the next season and beyond suring an hour-long special. Who will it be? Will he stay in his hometown or venture to another team?
