Lebron: Friendship above all else

Prior to the announcement that Lebron James signed with the Miami Heat I was sending this link to family and friends.

State of LeBron: Live at 9, from his ego - NBA - Yahoo! Sports http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-lebrondecision070710

The article described just how ridiculous the entire process had become and blamed James and the media for creating a circus atmosphere.

A second article appeared just after James signed with the Heat which postulated that "the decision" was made years ago.

Inside look at LeBron's free-agent coup - NBA - Yahoo! Sports http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-heatfreeagency071610

So much has been written and discussed and just about everyone has issues a statement concerning "the decision". What I have to add to the inventory of words is simply this:

It isn't about winning championships or sacrificing income or concern about legacy, or image, or brand or any of the issues mentioned, which will be the subject of business books, sports books and psychology books for years to come. In my opinion it is all about relationships. James made his decision as many of us make ours: based on his preference to be among his friends. That makes him no different than any of us. It dispels the notion that you don't do business with friends. In fact, I suggest that is the only business we should all do.
