LeBron James Leaves Cleveland
for Miami
When the months of suspense peaked, LeBron
James(notes) delivered a few words that rocked
the NBA and changed two cities and franchises.
At 9:27 p.m., James, looking nervous and
somewhat unsure, finally announced his plans
from a small stage in Greenwich, Conn.
“This fall, and it’s very tough,” James said to a
national TV audience. “I’m going to take my
talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat.”
In Florida, there was rejoicing.
In Ohio, only heartbreak and tears—then anger.
