Somebody Woke Up LeBron... UH OH!

It seems hard to believe that LeBron James might have received his best career advice from a commercial, but it might be true. As seen in the Nike TV advertisement, the Heat star asks the viewers, "What should I do?"

At one point in the 60-second spot he asks, "Should I accept my role, as a villain?" as he is seen in a wild west gunslinger outfit. Hmm, now that's a thought. He does have all the makings of a "villain," doesn't he?

Left his hometown team to chase a championship, check. Handled it in the worst way possible, check. Treated his following in Cleveland like shit, check. Made every possible mistake during the process, check.

But let's get this straightened out, none of these heinous acts have anything to do with his performance on the basketball court. Everything I just mentioned can only affect his mind, not his actual basketball skills. And let's agree that LeBron is one of the most, if not the most, purely talented players in the league right now.

However, the thing that usually got between him and his success on the court, has been his head. He never had the mindset of a Jordan or Kobe to be a winner in crunch time, or put his foot on the opponent's throat when necessary.

So, how does he get over the mental block over his eventual success? How does he put his past behind him and start dominating on the court as a Heat? (What the hell is the singular form of "Heat?")

LeBron should embrace the "villain" role. He should burn the bridges he left behind and bust through the road blocks ahead of him.

Cleveland hates him for the way he left, forget them. Sports fans think he is a primadonna failure, forget them. Charles Barkey thinks he is a tool, forget him.

He is on a team now that can win a championship, maybe championshipS. LeBron should leave the past in the past, and if someone gets on his face about anything, he can just drop 38/5/8 on them and go on his merry way.
