Apotheosis Lost

A story will be spoken from this hard-court verse
Of one who would not save his city from its ill-fated curse

Events have taken place not meant to be
Yet there is more to this than any can see.

The man you see is like Magic with a ball
A hero whose quest for glory adds to his fall

The Forest City’s hopes are truly forever done
Shattered by the departure of a false Chosen One

Although this begins the era for his first ring
His departure means his dethroning as the King

It is true a championship he will possess
While he hears Cleveland's cries of distress.

No longer can he be better than the Black Mamba
Needing to join others while adding too much drama

There are two whom upon he is extremely reliant 
One is a speedster and the other a near giant.

He is proven not worthy enough to do it alone
But he will have gold unlike the great Karl Malone

Back in his city he is exiled and banished an outcast
A traitor they brand him, which will forever last.

Unlike this Chosen One, His Airness and the Black Mamba won rings
Not conspiring with each other or with other self-proclaimed kings.

And so it has been said that he cannot join the great names
Forsaking godhood in exchange for rings engraved: LeBron James.
