What should I do? The answer is a question
I really like this spot. Lebron, and Nike needed to stand by their decision and spokesperson, respectively.
It was necessary. Consider this the press conference that should have been. But it's not an apology, and that may not be a bad thing.

Austin RIvers
Is going to Duke. This is tremendous for me as a crazed Duke fan. This kid is the number one rated prospect, a point guard, and he personifies talent. He is also Doc Rivers' son, and plays for Winter Park high school in Florida.
"I think so at times," ... "It's always, you know, a race factor." - Lebron James
(These are ugly.)
His...comments...regarding race, concerned me.

Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance
Well Lebron you did it. You broke my heart, you crushed a city, and you did it in horrible fashion.
You have joined the Miami Heat. All the media who shook in glee over the free agent summit dealings have been vindicated, and Lebron, Wade, and Bosh have now united.
Lebron was shown a video of his jersey being burned, and his response was that "that is something I can't get involved in" - Well that's just one of the plethora of ignorant, narcissistic statements "The Decision" featured. He then later went on to say that he couldn't make this an emotional decision, but then stated that he had to do what made Lebron happy (yes, third person, he is THAT cocky).

Day One
So far, nothing too earth-shaking has happened in the NBA world in this, the first day of free agency. There were no midnight surprises, no big names scratched off the list, and only one threatening billboard.

Hit List
Most of the buzz generated in July is gonna revolve around free agency, that's a definite. However, there exists a fair number of teams who have some players that could be traded as well...
Chris Paul is the biggest name, I have no idea why the Hornets would ever let him go, not only is he still the best or next-best point in the league, he championed that franchise throughout all the tough times in New Orleans. He's their savior, and they have already shot down Devin Harris and the number 3 draft pick that is Derrick Favors. When a player this good can be had, there will be plenty of suitors, so look for plenty of talk, but seriously, never ever trade a franchise point guard.
Tayshaun Prince is not safe in Detroit, and Rip could also be on his way out. We were talking about these guys moving last year as well though, but the Tayshaun talk is stronger this year.
Andre Iguodala is still expendable to the 76'ers, and any trade involving him will most likely send over Elton Brand and his whopping contract as well.
Gilbert Arenas to the Magic has been hot recently, and with Wall in town they certainly need to ship Gil out, this is the only player I see DEFINITELY being moved before the season.
In the sign-and-trade mill, the talks of Bosh and Jarrett Jack for Bynum and Odom are heating up again. Toronto would be happy with this deal, considering they're just about ready to give Hedo away, but this doesn't make a ton of sense for the champs. Bosh has stated he does not want to play an undersized center anymore, and Pau Gasol is much more effective at the 4 as well. Without Odom on the bench, there could potentially be no one in their second unit if Farmar and Brown bolt.
The Cavaliers have talked about shipping out both Mo and Delonte, with the redman most definitely on his way out. Rumored trade partner is Toronto, with Calderon being the target.
What do you guys think the Cavs should do in the offseason, assuming Lebron stays? Do you try to lure Bosh or another big-name big guy? Do you try to shake-up the point and ship out Mo? If Lebron leaves, do you blow up the team completely like the Wizards and try to pick up talent and picks?
