Nick Chubb Did What LeBron James Should’ve Done
Retirement.
It probably has its perks, but also the realization that not only are you older, but you have to find ways to fill the gaps in life. I, personally, am not at that stage but have had unique “circumstances,” we’ll say, that make me feel in a lot of ways what that type of life is…
Both Nick Chubb and LeBron James were/are both incredible players on Cleveland teams. Nothing about personality and respect, but purely play.
I wrote an article a while ago with the argument that maybe this LeBron delay to his announcement was representing him planning a retirement. While he did say in his written diatribe that he “thought he was done,” but that obviously changed with the 76ers signing; it shows the thinking was there…
Anyway, I’ve always loved Chubb for how straight up and mellow he is as a person despite his greatness in his sport for the Browns. He knew this was the time to retire and simply posted something authentic to end his career. The love for Chubb is not just me; it was displayed throughout the entire social media sphere and has been that way throughout his entire career.
LeBron. Chubb knew when it was time. What exactly are you doing here?
If you win a championship in Philly, every fan calls you a ring-chaser.
The only reasonable move I saw was the “storybook” return to Cleveland for a final run before hanging it up.
I understand playing basketball for you is part of simply the love for the game, but you yourself made it out to be for the best opportunity to win. This move pissed off the entire City of Cleveland and changes your legacy for life, even with some personal forgiveness from me, mainly due to the 2016 NBA Finals win.
Nick Chubb simply said it’s time to move on. I did what I can. I’m not making a huge show about this, but being straight up and authentic about my choice and ending my play. My big question about this quiet guy is if he’ll want to be on some broadcast for future games or an analysis on a network.
Nick, I should be like you and just stay quiet and normal. My parents and brothers would certainly agree.
Anyway, thanks for being one of my favorite players in my life for the Cleveland Browns. Your play was so incredible, but the way you carried yourself was even more admirable. I hope to see you contributing in the city within your means. I know you will be welcomed anywhere at any time. I can’t wait to hear about your next chapter.
And, hey. Maybe LeBron will invite you to go golfing sometime! HAHA
