Lebron Doesn't Need New York

Did you witness the destruction? Lebron displayed to all willing to take a look at his genius that he can do the unthinkable, the unimaginable, when he makes a decision to do so. He played possumabout whether he would try to match Kobe's awesome feat then went out and not only matched but out performed Kobe in Madison Square Garden. A 50 point performance that was accompanied by a triple double is a ridiculous statement of how good this guy is. Which is why he doesn't need New York as much as New York needs him. Being in a big market such as New York is not as important as performance's such as the one he put on Wednesday night. This statement will shock some but Michael Jordan didn't play in LA or New York. I know, I know, shocking statement considering he is the most popular athlete ever behind Ali. When Mike got to Chicago, that franchise was nothing and had very little history. What made Mike a legend was not the city he played in but the performances he put on in the city he played in and abroad. Mike dominated, won championships, won dunk contests, won MVP's, Defensive Player of the Year awards, and made memorable game winning shot after game winning shot in big games and against big rivals (see Detroit Piston battles). So Bron, don't believe the hype. Contrary to what people are trying to tell you, you don't need New York. What you need to do is to keep performing and drawing your greatness in the memories of all of us who are witnesses to your greatness.
