James, his agent and advisers deeply considered how they wanted to release the message and decided they didn't want to make it about the Cavs or the Heat, but about the people of Ohio. James wanted to tell them first, sources said.

He also wanted to communicate that he accepts the pressure and the challenges that come along with this choice and any fallout that may come with it. Wanting to make it personal, James wanted the words to be straight from him.

Several of James' friends and family cried when they read the piece before it was finalized, sources said. Though he and his family enjoyed living in Miami, they felt a strong pull to return home to live year-round.

This Windhorst dude was probably creeping through his mom's house living room window watching them cry. What a weirdo.

This.

We should expect a feature film installment in the near future? What a story, what a legacy.

This guy is just.. wow. No words to describe how much of a stalker he is. Pauk-esque.

Lots of hate for Windy. I've made fun of him in the past too....but the guy is a class act.

He was assigned to cover Lebron when he was in college and Lebron was in HS. Then, he was offered a much bigger job to cover the Cavs.... and then ESPN comes knocking at his door to cover LeBron for the Heat. Who the **** would turn down such amazing opportunities?

He's a real pro, doesn't report BS or flashy bullshit like Broussard. Seems like a genuinely nice guy and from what I read, LeBron is on good terms w/ him.

I thought cleveland was supposed to be some kind of tough city... they act pretty emo to hold that claim.
