The No.1 Anti-Fans in Basketball-Chapter 134 - 103 【Steel Bones】 (Extra)

This moment, in Cleveland, the fans gathered in front of the TV started cursing.

Of course, it wasn’t just them, New York, Chicago, places that were previously thought to be potential destinations for James, all had fans watching and cursing James at this moment.

Of course, Hansen couldn’t hear those curses, what he could hear was the excited cheering coming from outside the house.

The Heat was considered the most likely new home before the decision, so Miami was also the place where most fans gathered to watch "The Decision."

However, the expressions on the three people inside the house were a bit different.

Wade breathed a sigh of relief, but showed no signs of excitement.

His mood was clearly conflicted, weighing the pros and cons wasn’t easy.

Bosh frowned, he should be the person least wanting to team up, but he had already decided to play with Wade, so it was no longer up to him.

Hansen, meanwhile, was suppressing his own excitement.

Because his plan could be carried out, he could finally be free from injury problems next season!

Perhaps, if he was lucky enough, he could even unlock a "First Gear" talent.

At that moment, Wade and Bosh each received calls from Riley and Thomas.

"Han, we probably won’t be able to continue training for a while."

The recent call notified them of their upcoming schedules.

They had to start promoting for the new season.

At that moment, Wade’s conflicted emotions had disappeared, replaced by excitement.

The decision was made, the previous weighing was a thing of the past, now he was more expectant of the future.

Three top superstars teaming up, how many championships could they possibly win!

"I’m going back to Memphis first, if you still want to train together, remember to call me." Hansen also wisely said goodbye.

Now, he just needed to wait for the right opportunity, then execute his plan.

The night Hansen left Miami, the repercussions of James’s "Decision" had already begun.

Later that evening, at the ESPN annual award ceremony, the host started joking around.

"LeBron announced on a program called ’The Decision’ that he would go to the Miami Heat, we all witnessed that—an extremely boring hour-long program."

These words, filled with American humor, directly made everyone in the audience laugh.

James probably never imagined that the first ones to mock him would be insiders from ESPN.

The next day, Cleveland’s owner Dan Gilbert posted an open letter on social media.

"LeBron’s hypocritical and narcissistic departure is a cowardly betrayal by someone who claims to be the King."

"This shocking act of disloyalty, from our hometown’s ’Chosen One,’ provides everyone a perfect negative example."

"We would never want to raise our children to be like him."

You could completely feel Gilbert’s anger through his words.

After all, he had done everything he could over the past seven years to build team after team for James.

And the Cavaliers, despite being a small market, paid a high luxury tax every year.

Hansen could now understand Gilbert’s feelings even better.

After all, after performing well in the playoffs, to keep James, the Cavaliers had traded him to the Grizzlies.

People say you can’t have your cake and eat it too, now the Cavaliers had neither.

This scene was the perfect embodiment of the saying: "The dog licking at the end without anything."

However, he didn’t think Gilbert was right just because he understood him.

Because Gilbert was a public figure, and public figures’ words have significant influence.

In fact, Gilbert’s letter also led to a huge chain reaction.

First off, the Cavaliers’ poster staff finally came online in time, they immediately took down all posters related to James.

Then, Danny Ferry was dismissed from his position as general manager by the Cavaliers, his position was taken over by his assistant, Chris Grant.

Finally, spurred by that letter, fans started gathering outside James’s mansion in Cleveland.

Some began tearing apart and burning James’s jerseys on the spot, looking as if they were possessed by the spirit of the French, about to stage a drama of "killing the rich and sharing the loot."

More people went to James’s social media to attack him with the vilest words they could think of.

"Han’s assessment of you was spot on, you’re just a complete coward, you shouldn’t be called King, you should be called Queen."

"Jordan wouldn’t team up with Barkley and Olajuwon after losing to the Pistons, you truly can’t compare with Jordan. From the moment you chose to run, you reduced yourself."

"You are a traitor, the management traded Han away for you, and yet you just left, do you know how much we love Han?!"

"Danny Ferry was just your lackey, Han is our future, you both destroyed the Cavaliers’ future!"

"Because of you, this year we’ve become the biggest joke of free agency. West was so right, fuck you!"

"I don’t believe the Cavaliers would trade Han away without any assurances from you, Gilbert was right, you are not only a coward but also a traitor."
