LeBron

Let me start off by saying I am neither a Cleveland Cavaliers fan or a LeBron fan. I don't dislike LeBron, but I'm not going to buy his jersey anytime soon. That being said, I like him coming to Miami. Miami with DWade and a good supporting cast can win a championship, we know that already. Miami with DWade and CBosh can definitely win a championship.

Miami with DWade, CBosh, and LBJ is going to win several championships.

Many people have criticized LBJ for skipping town on the Cavs. But can you honestly say you wouldn't have done the same? In the worthless 7 years that he spent there, he almost won them a championship by himself. Every time they came close and failed, it was because he had no support. So win or lose, all the blame/praise was on LBJ. And since losing in the playoffs is what they liked to do, there was tremendous pressure on LBJ to try to carry a team, which no one, no not even Jordan, had to do. It is entirely on the front office of the Cavs for not providing LeBron the support to complete his mission.

So he went from a team where he was always struggling to pull a "middle of the road" team uphill with all of his teammates piled on to his back, to a team where he is not going to be the sole breadwinner. If/when the Heat go deep into the playoffs or win a ring, LBJ will not be the only player with a spotlight focused on them. He will also not be the only player to be lampooned on the morning edition of SportsCenter if they don't meet expectations.

There is something to be said for the fact that LBJ will have some tremendous help now. Jordan never had a DWade and a Bosh. He had Pippen and Rodman but thats apples to oranges if you ask me. Yes its true, when LBJ finally gets a ring it will be more plastic than gold, but the fact remains that had he stayed in Cleveland, who knows if Dan Gilberts ever would have given him the players he needed for a ring? Jordan stayed in Chicago, and was rewarded with Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. Would the same have happened for LBJ? We'll never know.

But I sure can't blame him for switching out Ohio and cornfields for South Beach and beautiful women.
