they're doing just fine without lebron james. >> tom: so these are all long-term projects. it takes planning to get those up and running, a lot of construction to happen. what about the ripple effect though of losing a talent, not just in the nba but an industry? >> well, if this were just a widget company it would be a different story but the impact psychically of losing lebron james, pretty significant, especially to the dreaded miami. remember i was part of the ownership group or the creation of the miami heat way back when. and i decided to wear this driving into cleveland. listen, the they weren't too excited, i want to tell you. >> tom: they weren't respecting you because you had a t-shirt on, not a suit. miami may be in this year's nba finals. while the team clearly has increased its value, what is interesting to note, we will look at this it is not up as much as cleveland's value is down. in other words, why the miami heat is more valuable team one year after lebron james, the cleveland cavaliers have seen its value go down much more. value has actually been destroy

it was a difficult series for lebron james.ebron james could have shot bin laden and people would have been like you only took one shot. the governor of ohio today issued resolution praising the dallas mavericks who do not reside in ohio for beating the miami heat, without naming lebron james specifically, the resolution commended the mavericks for their loyalty, integrity and team work and made them honorary ohioans. which i guess is an honor? the resolution also singled out mvp dirk nowitzki for choosing to resign with the mavericks and skip free agency, thus remaining to the team city and fans for whom he played the entire career. obviously lebron james did not do that. when did the state of ohio become a crazy ex-girlfriend? it's time to get over this. the best thing to happen to your state is a basketball team from another state winning the nba title, things are not necessarilnecessary ly good. in dallas, things were very good. there was a very big celebration today. >> mavericks fans are celebrating texas style. an estima

lebron james tried to get his team fired up. he gave what should have been an impassioned pregame speech, but something about it just seemed a little too scripted to me. >> let's continue to play desperate. that's the only way we know how to play basketball. that's the best way we know how to play. and this is a must win game. every game we approach, our back is against the wall, and it's a must win game. lay it all on the line tonight, and play miami heat basketball, man. >> jimmy: you see it? you see what i mean? it's -- [ cheers and applause ] lebron has been in a fourth quarter slump. lebron james only has 11 points in the last five fourth quarters combined. some people are suggesting he doesn't want the ball. which, give the guy a break. he's spending a lot of time with the ball the first three quarters, maybe he just needs a little me time in the fourth quarter, you know?

lebron james, crashing down to earth, his wings perhaps melting a little, giving cleveland fans some sweet revenge. here is josh elliot. >> last night, it wasn't just an nba title won by the dallas mavericks as it was legacy lost by the miami heat. not what the team had in mind when it signed lebron james and dwyane wade and chris bosh, a trio of $100 million stars who promised a half dozen titles or more for miami. their failure, however epic in scope is owned by one-third of that big three. lebron james. >> nowitzki, lays it in. >> reporter: this wasn't how he thought it would end. >> the dallas mavericks are nba champions. >> reporter: they might be celebrating in dallas, but in cleveland -- and so ended the most tumultuous year in lebron james' career. in that instance, the ohio school boy prodigy and cleveland's beloved savior was vilified and morphed for the casual fans into an anti-hero they could love to hate, a role james never embraced. >> i think people feel like maybe he's not humble or arrogant. if he had foreseen this, i don't think he would have done it that way. he kn
