No he didn't owe anyone anything but he did take his ego to astronomical heights by having his hour long show. Alex Rodrigez signed one of if not the highest contract ever when he left Seattle for Texas. At the time he was prolly in the top 5 of all baseball. Did he hold a big show? No. So no not all athletes do that.
LeBron just showed he was a ******* who has been listening to all the wrong people in his inner circle.

But no one asked him to do one. Lebron was asked to do it, and it made money. Not money for Lebron, but for needy children. I can guarentee you that now that Lebron has done it, it will happen again. We have been going through this goofy Brett Favre process every year, anxiously awaiting his interview to tell us whether he really will play or not! What's different about what Favre and Lebron do, Lebron's was live! That's it! I have no issue with what Lebron did. It was crappy for all the fans who did not get Lebron to come to their team, but for Miami fan, they loved it!
