Ode to a King?

He was raised in Ohio
250 lbs and 6 foot 8 inches tall
He skipped out on college
To play NBA Basketball

He was a star in his teens
and anointed as the "King"
although he held no crown
not even a championship ring

The Cavs took him first
fulfilling his childhood dream
to play in "The League"
with his hometown team

7 years have now passed
with triple-doubles galore
He has 2 MVP's and
will undoubtedly win more

But as free agency neared
and the rumors ran wild
He became less an adult
and more like a child

Game 5 was a mess
He almost seemed bored
he didn't even try to
put many points on the board

Game 6 seemed better
if you read only the stat sheet
but look at those turnovers
and his team was still beat

Now what happens next?
July 1 will soon approach
Cleveland will start their efforts
by firing their coach

Chicago has been rumored
but Jordan's shadow is cast
LeBron to the Bulls?
I say "not so fast"

The Nets could come calling
A Russian owner with a splash
LeBron to the Nets?
I don't think there is enough cash

So will he stay with the Cavs?
help them pop the champagne cork?
or will he go for the glitz
and take his game to New York?

Where do you go if you are a King
who doesn't have a crown
Look out New York
LeBron is coming to town!!
