The Cleveland Cavailers made a wise move this week by signing Lebron James to a five-year contract extension at $80 million. The franchise knew they had to keep the superstar interested to stay in Cleveland so a hefty investment was well worth it. This is good for the Cavs. This whole franchise will only reap success because of him. James has already pushed his team to the second round in the Eastern conference of the playoffs in only his third year.
The team finished at least 10 games above .500 this past season for the first time in nearly a decade. What's on the horizon with Lebron on board for the next five years? I know the 21-year-old has his mind set on winning on a championship. If there is anyone who could bring glory to the city of Cleveland it's James. His stellar play has positioned him near the top of the NBA league leaders in points per game, rebounds, and triple-doubles this year.
I think Lebron will give Cleveland more than they bargained for when it's all said and done. He's shown so much likeness to Michael Jordan that it's extraordinary. On the other hand, he's out to prove that he is one of the best in the NBA and wants to be known as a great all-around player and simply as Lebron "King" James, the one and only. I have feeling his name will be etched into the record books over and over in the coming years.
