LeBron is a business too. All you have to do is look at his networth and what he is involved in for money - endorsements, shoes, business investments etc..
He's not playing bball out of the goodness of his heart like a nonprofit organization he is doing it to get paid and win. He has amazing basketball skills that we all pay to watch.
Fans want to root for teams from their area or teams they like for whatever reason. Win or lose they stick with their team. They root for players cause the players play for those teams. Simply rooting for a player is bandwagon shit. Player fans are undercover bandwagon fans, they root for 'players' and these 'players' of course are always the best in the business and usually always win. Once the players are past their prime most of these player fans disappear and start rooting for the next great superstar. Gee what a surprise...
