LeBron James: Reasons Why Cleveland Needs to Just Get Over It

Every one in the nation knows the story about Lebron James and the big "Decision" controversy.  If you don't, the long and short is he told Cleveland he wasn't coming back through a nationally televised event known as the decision.

This publicity stunt of sort led to a lot of backlash especially in the Cleveland area that included the burning of jerseys and the ripping down of signs.

After Lebron came into Cleveland with his new Miami team and took care of business, here are a few reasons why Cleveland just needs to get over Lebron.

He's Not Coming Back

This is the most obvious reason why the city of Cleveland needs to get over Lebron, because he isn't coming back.

He has left and he abandoned you, there is nothing you can do about it but move on.

Although many Cavalier fans hate to admit it, Lebron will go down as the face of their franchise.  He will always be that name resonated in peoples minds when they think of Cleveland.

Although it's too early to tell, it looks like the Cavs might be the ones laughing at the end of the season.  With Lebron struggling to click with Chris Bosh, and Dwayne Wade, it is looking as though he might not get that championship he always wanted in Cleveland with the Heat.

Through all of this, one great thing has come out for Cleveland.  They actually have a basketball team now that can play great without a star player.

Sure they will need that one star player to really get to the next level, but playing this season without one is really leading this team to be a more cohesive unit.

Lets face it, Cleveland isn't the most pleasant place to play a professional sport, especially when you are making millions of dollars.  

If you had a chance to go to Miami, join up with two of the best basketball players in the world to make a dream team of sorts, and still make millions of dollars, there is no way you could tell me you wouldn't take that.

Lebron was doing what was right for him, sure, it was really nasty of him to do it in the fashion he did, but you can't blame the guy for trying to find happiness.
