I heard an analyst say on ESPN this morning that Lebron James should be given credit for going to Miami because it shows he is all "all about winning." What a load of garbage!!! What it tells me about Lebron James is that he realizes he can't win a championship on his own. He needs two other superstars to do it. He's scared he can't live up to his own potential without some help from his friends. He's lost all of my respect and Miami is now officially joins my list of teams to cheer against.
LeBron took the easy way out. He is not all about winning! He's just about doing it the easy way. Staying in Cleveland would have required finishing something he started. It would have required him to be one of the league's best ever to win a championship. It would require him to step up his game and make his teammates better as well. Going to Miami makes it easy. He doesn't have to be at his best to win a championship with Wade and Bosh. He can probably just coast and with help from Bosh and Wade he can hide a bit. It's an easy way to establish a legacy. However, it my eyes I'll just view him as someone that couldn't get it done by himself.
The depressing thing is that it will probably work. Bosh, Wade, and James will probably gone on to win multiple championships together and James will be praised as one of the best ever. It's worked for Phil Jackson. He hasn't had a coaching job in the NBA without the best player in the league on his team and yet he's praised for being one of the greatest coaches in history even though without Jordan, Bryant, Shaq and Gasol he's probably like Doug Collins jumping from job to job around the league.
My only hope is that Miami fails. I might even have to cheer for the Lakers to beat them as hard as that may be.
