WORST IDEA 7/9/10: Lebron James betrays Cleveland

No player has gone from beloved to universally hated faster than self-annointed "King" Lebron James. Despite never winning everything and pretty much quitting everything, James felt it was okay to not only turn his back on his hometown -- pretty much destroying the city -- he did it in the least classy way possible. James wants to win titles and go down in history so he left Cleveland for Miami where he now gets to play with two other superstars. He still won't win, but he will go down in history for being a man who had the chance to be an all-time great leading his city back to the promised land. He could have been Mark Messier in New York -- a hero for the ages if he won even one championship. Instead, he's the worst type of mercenary, selling out his people for an easier path to the title.
