Karma

First it was the "Big Decision" announced in a one-hour circus like atmosphere on ESPN prime time. That would be how LeBron James announced that he wouldn't be playing with the Cleveland Cavaliers and would be taking his game and entourage to play with the Miami Heat in South Beach, Florida

Then it was the owner of the Cavs blasting LeBron about tanking in the playoffs, and leaving the team. Sure, the Cavs felt like a jilted and spurned suitor. So did their fans. The fans gave their all, their loyalty, and their love to one of the greatest basketball players of all times. From this ugly split - nothing would ever be the same.

Of course when LeBron came back into town, he was one of the most disliked athletes to return. The fans booed him and held some very creative signs during the 60-minute game. Miami beat the Cavs and from that point on, the Cavs have not been the same. They find that they are probably the worst team in the NBA.

LeBron tweeted away and made remarks about karma. He made comments about the owner, the team, his teammates, and the fans. Karma -karma - karma.

Then the Heats winning string of games was snapped when LeBron suffered an ankle injury, and sat out a few games. Even his teammate, Chris Bosh is sidelined with an injury. Karma - karma - karma.

My message to LeBron would be that the fans loved you in Cleveland, and so did your teammates despite that you didn't bring home a championship title or ring. The Cavs management treated you like you were special. Like the king that you thought you were. The management shouldn't have. You are not "God." You are not "The Chosen One." You are not a "King" even if you have tattoos on your body proclaiming each.

My thoughts...beware of karma because it can come back to bite you too, LeBron. So maybe everyone should just shut up and let it go. The Cavs need to get over LeBron and find a few players to help the team. Until then, the Cavs need to play better ball, at least play like a 500 team or better. Your fan base is with you. Now give them something to cheer about.
