June 25: LeBron to Philly? Keep dreaming

Maybe this is the start of the era of LeBron's career where he begins to emulate the dragon from Pete's Dragon, or to make a more universal reference, Mary Poppins. And I mean Mary Poppins from Mary Poppins, not the dragon from Mary Poppins. 

What I'm saying is maybe he'll go from franchise to franchise across the nation, winning them championships, breaking curses, and bringing back fans. Maybe he'll give everybody a memory; a picture of him posterizing a hatred rival to cherish for generations to come. Players will rush to join him, and then he'll be on his way, leaving a talented team and rejuvenated basketball town in his wake.

"Good bye, LeBron!" we'll shout from the top of the Wells Fargo Center as he drifts away.

"Good bye, Sixers fans!" he'll call back. "I leave you in good hands!"

And then he'll throw a wink at MCW and Nerlens Noel and Andrew Wiggins and they'll all wink back in unison and we'll all turn to each other, nodding and smiling knowingly, and then the door to the roof will burst open and Brett Brown will be like "What the hell are you guys doing out here, we have practice," because LeBron wasn't visible to him because he didn't believe hard enough. But then after everyone goes inside, Brett turns back and watches LeBron disappear into the distance and smiles, because he did actually believe hard enough the whole time and just has to be gruff to get the most out of his players.

Then it's off to Milwaukee for LeBron.

Yeah.
