1. The Cavs being the best isn't relevant to LeBron. If he wins, he moves on. If he loses, I get the feeling he's going to want a fresh start. How longdid it take Cleveland to actually bring in good players?
2. He doesn't need the money, but he wants it. He signed the shorter contract (like Wade did and Melo didn't) to get the most money in 2010. Also thatManning brother's analogy is so off. Peyton is a star because he is flat out BETTER than Eli.
3. Many players don't get to play in their respective hometowns. LeBron already had the opportunity.
4. The city of Cleveland needing him has nothing to do with his decision.
5. The players named are synonymous to WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS, not for being on one team. They conveniently left Shaq out of that list. Boston, LA, and Chicagoare all major cities that Bird, Kobe, Magic, and Jordan started their careers in. Most teams didn't have the money to pay more money anyway.
