LeBron James: "You Have to Get Over It"
King James Tells Disappointed Fans to Move On
As LeBron James continues to gets booed at games, the reigning 2-time NBA MVP would just like for disappointed and bitter fans to move on. "If I was a fan and I was on the outside looking in, I could be upset a
little bit if one of my favorite players left," James explained on Thursday. "Or if I
felt like he betrayed us or whatever the case may be. But you have to
get over it."
James later clarified his comment by tweeting, "Let's clear this up! I never said to the Cavs fans to 'get over it.'
I've never and will never say anything bad about them. 7 years of joy!" So James is basically telling any James-hater, regardless of where he or she is from, to get over it. Of course, that is easier said than done for a lot of bitter fans, some of who will apparently always think that the 6-time All-Star betrayed his home town so that he could join a stacked Miami Heat roster. James certainly left the Cavs so that he could join a Miami Heat team that has great potential to win multiple championships. But the 'betrayal' element still seems to be a point of contention.
As an avid sports fan, James is sympathetic to the hundreds, if not thousands, of fans who somehow feel that they've been personally betrayed by the NBA great. But James is quick to explain that it is his prerogative to do what is best for himself. "Sports are very emotional and fans are very emotional," said James. "At
times they really believe you may be related to them you and you sleep
in their house. When you do something wrong and you leave their house
they can become very emotional. I've understood that over the years. But
at the same time, you have to understand you have to do what is best
yourself."
