MIAMI -- After LeBron James left the Cavaliers behind, which included leaving behind a group of teammates he was very close to, Mo Williams actually said he considered retiring.
He was so heartbroken by LeBron leaving that he actually questioned why he was even playing basketball. That's pretty real stuff right there.
So, with the Mavericks beating LeBron's team in The Finals -- and with LeBron underwhelming everyone throughout -- Williams said it's all better for him now. Broken heart: fixed.
Williams' tweet basically sums up a lot of the way the city of Cleveland feels. It's become this semi-ridiculous sentiment throughout Cleveland that somehow they vicariously won a championship through LeBron's loss. I can't get behind that, but the feeling is real and Williams speaks for them. It's definitely not closure on the whole thing because LeBron still plays for the Heat and the Cavs are still terrible. But it's at least something. Maybe they can move on a little now. If Williams can, why not everyone else?
Oh who am I kidding. Cleveland's probably halfway burnt down by now. Live it up, I guess.
