I am a Resident in a Hilarious World…
Posted by VeRonda Wicks July 13th, 2010So, I’m finally at the point where I can wrap my head around everything and actually comment… Last week was just too much and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing…
First, I have to say that, again, the hype around someone who hasn’t won a thangggg is mind boggling to me… But I digress. The Cavaliers majority owner, Dan Gilbert, took me over with his ignorant and emotionally stated comment regarding LeBron James’ relocation decision. Now, I’m maintaining a more positive and upbeat stance on this versus going the other route, but I can see the points stated regarding misplaced loyalty, racism, and the like. I guess my biggest question is, who cares? I mean, really. Now, my mother (69 years young I add) is a popular culture guru, which is weird in and of itself, and when she kept updating me on the latest LeBron happening I just thought, why me?
After experiencing from the comfort of my couch, a wonderful championship run by the L.A. Lakers, I am involuntarily dragged through the mud of the LeBron train and I’m drained, truly. I’m happy for him… Well, more indifferent, but we’ll call that “happy” instead. Maybe he’ll finally win the big game with the Miami Heat and then, finally, I would be more agreeable to the world stopping for a champion.
And to sum it up, surely CNN, Good Morning America, and primetime television shows (to name a few) can find something else to talk about and someone more deserving to interview… Wait, how ’bout that Harlem NY guy, Geoffrey Canada, who is changing the world (literally) one block at a time. This world is hilarious…

Oh, Lebron… I’m happy for him & all, but I feel like the media AND his hometown were taking it a bit too seriously. Burning his jersey? REALLY? Also, I don’t like how coverage of his decision almost completely made people oblivious to what was going on in Oakland. The place was a MESS that night! But eh…

Seriously, Drew… There are honestly more important, more crucial, more relevant stuff/realities going on in the world…

As a life long clevelander, I think that LeBron carried himself in a very bad way regarding his announcement and the circus he created. And as for Gilbert? He spoke for the people in this town. Maybe harsh…but they way in which LeBron handled things was below board. Especially waiting until deadlines and timelines had passed in order to acquire better players in LeBrons place.
I believe LeBron had the right to leave and should follow his heart. But the advice he got on holding that fiasco was wrong. As for Gilbert? For every thing that he conceeded to LeBron and his ‘entourage’ that other players did not get. It’s amazing how pampered he was, lol.
