    Would you rather stay on a mediocre cavs team where u have to do everything every nite just to hopefully win or go to a great team n win 3 to 4 in a row? that should b a easy decision seeing as if he dont win a championship the media wont ever compare him to jordan, bryant, hell maybe not even wade cuz he already has 1. this game is about winning thats y i dont mind james move. he could have stayed the only man on the team with the cavs or bulls but he wanted to win. he didnt want to b like the great barkley, malone, and miller. u think if malone would have known ahead of time he would never win with jazz that he would have stayed that long? NO

    Exactly, isn’t basketball about a team effort? So Lebron is being a team player, going to a team where he see’s that his team is going to be better then a lot of other teams. Instead of going to a team like the nets & knicks where he can probably get more money, he goes to the heat!

    This isnt even a hard decision.

    Lets see, should I play with Jamison and Moe Williams, or Play with Wade and Bosh…..Which one should I choose?

    Oh, and Miami isnt such a bad place to live in, compare to Cleveland. Like Joakim Noah said, “Whats in Cleveland?”

    Has lebron ruined his chance to be GOAT? and what are his chances of averaging a triple double next season?

    My only problem is that if you are the man, then you have to be that guy that’s wins the title for your team. in MIA he is not going to be the man, and if he wins they will always say he had the help of two super stars (but Bosh is not a star to me). I guess winning is winning, but its more important to your legacy to be the guy on your team. That’s why he should have went to the bulls.

    guys that we idolize for their talent and their dominance are commonly referred to as alpha dogs … they’re a step above the rest – lebron is not that – he’s not laying claim to his team, he doesn’t have the stubborn defiance of a michael jordan or a kobe bryant, or the overwhelming belief in himself to overcome any adversity … it was a cop-out, simple and plain — you can’t even guarantee that miami would have been better with just wade and bosh then cleveland would have been if lebron returned

    kobe could have left LA when he was a free agent and he was at the time going through some of the same struggles, but he didn’t … kobe is a different animal, a true alpha dog … that’s his legacy, that’s where lebron falls short

    If Lebron wants to maintain his status on this team, he has to be the point guard, facilitating to Wade and Bosh where the create on secondary looks more than Wade. Plus, Pat Riley has to limit their minutes together if at all possible. Maybe 10 mins a game of rest for Wade and Lebron each, and let the other be the primary perimeter player while they rest. I’d like to see him average around the 8.6 he averaged this season, btu the ball wont be in his hands nearly as much. Also, lets see if the change in coaching will allow him to improve, or perhaps regress in certain aspects.

    People say the same thing about Wilt Chamberlain, (some even say it about Jabbar.) but when viewed in the scope of history, only a few stubborn people wouldn’t consider Wilt a top 3 center. At the end of the day, its all about how good you are, and how much you win. He’s already proven how good he is. Anyone who says otherwiseis in denial. If he wants to win, and win a lot, this is clearly the best decision for him. However, Wade may end up being the biggest benficiary. With them being on the same team, you’d have to believe Wade’s the go to scorer in crunch time. If Wade shows consistantly that he’s the more dominant player in these situations, he could jump ahead of LBJ in a historical context, because from here on out WADE WILL ALWAYS HAVE MORE CHAMPIONSHIPS! This could really screw Lebron when looking at the two at the ends of there careers.

    Of course, Lebron could very well complete overshadow the two with his play, and average close to a tripe double while playing the aformentioned PG role. Maybe he even tries harder in the clutch because Wade’s on his team, and Wade is not afraid to talk down to his younger teammate. Honestly, Lebron James is JUST like Alex Rodriguez. And Wade is like Jeter with way more natural talent but just as much respect.

    Hell yeah it was the right move. How many people were critizing the show time Lakers? Very few to none, whom had multiple superstars and great to very good players, the same thing goes for Boston, Bulls, Spurs ect… He wants to win multiple chips this was his best option. How many people if they had a chance would want to play with that kind of talent around them? Lets see stay in my hometown with subpar talent, or clique up with great players with the possibility of winning multiply chips.

    And for the people who say “he need to go to another mans team to win”, then you know what the cavs should have done a better job surrounding him with better talent, at least A to B talent.

    Kobe had his bags packed to leave LA until they traded for Pau Gasol… Not including Jordan, who has won a championship by themselves… Its refreshing to see a superstar giving up MONEY and PRIDE to win a championship… I think Lebron did the right thing by going to Heat… His only mistake is the way he went about it.. To win a championship in the NBA you NEED a STACKED team, I dont care who you are (except Jordan)… Magic, Bird, Kobe, SHAQ, Duncan, Hakeem, Robinson, Pierce, Garnett, Ray Allen are all HALL OF FAMERS and won championships on STACKED teams… Lebron NEVER be the GOAT, but he will go down as a top 10 player ever…
