LeBron James has decided to take over the NBA's summer, and general managers everywhere couldn't be more thrilled.
Just like in 2010, their teams suddenly have hope.
James, the best basketball player in the world, is handling his business quite differently these days. When he informed the Miami Heat on Tuesday he's opting out of his contract (news that was confirmed by his Cleveland-based agent, Rich Paul), James didn't act like the world should genuflect at his decision. He merely went about his day like any other unrestricted-free-agent-in-waiting.
This is a more mature LeBron than the 2010 version, a LeBron who owns two championships and five Finals appearances, a LeBron who will turn 30 before the turn of the calendar year. The next chapter of his career is highly likely to be the last in his prime.
And you can be sure everyone is lining up to help him write it.
