216 Words1 Page

In 2010 my contract was up with the Cleveland Cavaliers and I could return to Cleveland or go to another team. On the air on ESPN 's television show called "The Decision" I was going to make my choice. I made my choice and went with the Miami Heat to combine my talents with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. The Cleveland fans weren 't very happy with me so they set my jerseys on fire and ripped up posters that supported me. I had made the decision because I didn 't just want to be a star anymore. I wanted to also be a champion. I will remember the day that I proposed to my wife, Savannah Brinson, on New Year 's Eve in 2011. In the next two years we got married on September 2013 in San Diego. I was the happiest man on earth! One of the best parts

He launched into an enthusiastic summary of his weekend which included being at Youth Group, going to church on the Sunday and I even think that he said, “the Lord” or “Jesus” in there somewhere. I was freaked out and I felt a visceral pull in my stomach.
