review 1: after Lebron left, I was wondering if people will write about him and start talking about him and what type of person he is and I think I found exactly that. throughout this book I felt some sympathy for Lebron because he's done so much for the city of Cleveland and I don't think it's right for people to just blow off smoke like that. it makes me think about how unappreciative people are. It seems like everything lebron did just went out the door. Even though I don't like lebron as a player I feel as if his decision does not depend on the people, but instead it depends on him. He decides where he wants to go and what place is right for him and I think he chose a place where he felt he can win a championship.
review 2: Raab is a lunatic fan, and he hates LeBron
... moreJames. That said, he won me over with his writing. I still think he's a lunatic, but I respect him and found his honesty endearing. I'm also reminded of a couple of truths from this book 1) that sports makes a wonderful hobby, but a lousy God and 2) that most people with hate issues have some serious self-loathing. Raab does and makes himself likeable enough that his book is compelling. less

Well, at least the book is honest about its premise. Does Jesus really hate Cleveland!?
