“He tried,” Beadle told Pierce. “He tried to do that. I was like, ‘Wow, I’m honored that I’m still on your mind. Thank you very much. This is a strange place for me.'”
LeBron’s “decision” came on July 8, 2010. Beadle had started his career on ESPN for a year when LeBron made his big decision in life.

“My business with him didn’t start on a personal level. I made fun of ‘The Decision’ like 400,000 other talking heads did back then. I think for some reason that was it. . It wasn’t personal at first, but now it will always be. Be personal. “
“I’m very comfortable disliking people,” Beadle added. “I think that’s what makes us all healthy. It’s the people who claim to love everyone – you can’t trust them.”
Greg Cote of the Miami Herald once wrote that “if LeBron had thinner skin, we would see his internal organs.”
