LeBron to Cleveland was David Stern's final scripted masterpiece for his legacy
Great final masterpiece, Stern
Stern knew LeBron wasn't going to win in Cleveland with the state of the franchise. They had no pull for free agents, and with LeBron they wouldn't finish low enough to get lottery picks.
LeBron to Miami and the Super Friends was scripted all along. They used Miami because they have no real fanbase, and used LeBron/Bosh to prop up that dumpster fire of a franchise and get a bunch of bandwagon fans over there. It was also ratings gold because of how polarizing the Heat were. It allowed LeBron to get his rings as well.
This also allowed Cleveland to dump off its talent, and such enough to get lottery picks. Then he engineers 3 #1 draft picks for the Cavs, and scripts LeBron going back to them at the right time. Cleveland now stocked with young talent, Cleveland rejuvinated and now LeBron can win that title for the city.
Great job Stern, its scripting like this I will miss the most. WWE couldn't hold a candle.
