Exactly, it's like he got spanked by the Spurs and gave up. It just seems weak to me, and he justified it by "going home". There's just no loyalty and perseverance in that to me.
I don't think he gave up,per se, but it's hard to argue that didn't tip him in the Cleveland direction at least a little. I think LeBron has had Cleveland in the back of his mind for a few years(I remember him saying how he would be interested in coming back to Cleveland a year or two back). He misses it and he probably feels bad that he wasn't able to give them a championship(I hardly fault him for that because the FO didn't do a very good job of getting guys to Cleveland, but then again its Cleveland lol).
I don't think it's so black and white of a decision to say that losing to the Spurs is the reason he came back, and saying he's going home is a justification. I think he genuinely feels more comfortable in Ohio and the Cleveland area where he basically lived for 25 years.
People would probably feel a little differently if they put themselves in his shoes, IMO. Would you stay in Miami? Maybe you would, but for how long afterwards? Wade is a shell of his former self and Bosh can only do so much. Ray Allen was considering retirement, and the rest of the team is a bit hard to gauge. I don't see how staying around for another year or so and then leaving is much different than him leaving now. Maybe it means he gives Miami another chance to win a title? I don't know if I see it like that.
I would probably go back to Cleveland,honestly.
