Why are people shocked and surprised that Lebron has this much control in managerial decisions? I think this is a big deal because Lebron works so hard to have a squeaky clean image that when these allegations arise, people are actually shocked HE would do something like this.
Dwight wanted SVG out, Kidd wanted Scott out, Magic got Westhead fired, Hayes got McMahon fired, and Kobe in a way got Jackson fired.
