To this day, I will always believe the scorched Earth presser Riley held was the final straw for LeBron. He may have been leaning toward leaving, but when Riley went nuclear after the season, that was it. LeBron had just dragged that team to the finals for the fourth straight year, and then watched as the supporting cast deteriorated around him, while he played to his standard MVP-level. For Riley to go into that presser and basically challenge LeBron to return (and also reveal that Savannah was pregnant, which was a HUGE breach of trust), was probably taken as a slap in the face.
