Whitlock compares LBJ to 18

He advises LeBron to stay in Cleveland, and his logic is interesting.

You will never own New York City. It doesn’t matter if you make the Knicks or the Nets relevant. Jay Z and David Stern can’t protect you in the Big Apple. I’m sure they’ll promise you they can. They’re lying.

Stay where the people absolutely love you, where the people will suffer the harshest consequences for selling you out.

Peyton Manning is the face of the NFL from Indianapolis. You don’t have to work in New York or Los Angeles to maximize your earning potential. It might make things easier for Nike or your support personnel, but it’s their job to make things easier for you.

Staying at home makes your life less complicated and less high risk.
