It is official. King James is no more. For those of you who have been living under a rock or have no knowledge of basketball I am of course talking about LeBron James. We have had to suffer the drama of where he is going as a free agent. And we got the answer. He got off his throne (which never really existed since he never won the title).
You see the great ones build their championships where they land. They convince others to come and play with them. That is the legacy of Magic, Jordon, Bird, Duncan and (I hate to admit it because I hate him) Kobe. LeBron decided that he would let Wade build the championship team. It does not matter if the Heat win the next 10 titles. They will be Wade's title and James just came to help. No King is just a helper.
I know it is easy for me to tell James to do since I never had such talent myself and was not faced with such a decision. It seems to me that one title in Cleveland when he is clearly "the man" is better than 3 or 4 with the Miami Heat. I guess I am a traditionalist when it comes to sports. I like athletes to stay put and remain in touch with their city. Oh for the good ol days.
No earth shattering, trouble-making declarations here. Taking a brief break from that. But just wanted to have my say on the whole LeBron situation. Will move on the more "meatier" issues with the next post.
Sincerely,
Trouble-maker
