So 'The Decision' has finally been made, and i have to say I am disappointed.
Lebron has decided to join Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, where surely Hall of Famer Pat Riley will step out of the office and back onto the court to coach them to multiple NBA titles.
From a winning perspective, sure, its a good decision.
But for Cleveland, the NBA, the fans, Lebrons legacy and almost any other way you look at it, the choice sucks.
Loading up Miami with three bonafide superstars is going to be awesome for fans of the Heat but what the rest of us can expect to see is a change in the way the league operates. It will become a league where a couple of teams dominate, the Heat win 60+ games a season and secure some rings, and the vast majority of those games will be so lopsided as to be almost unwatchable.
Lebron, who if had stayed in Cleveland or gone to NY or NJ would have had a chance to really cement a Jordan-esque legacy if he were able to lead those teams to a title, especially over a Miama that had Bosh and Wade.
The respect for him would have been thru the roof had he stayed in Ohio. Instead no matter what they achieve, there will be an asterisk.
Now we have the NBAs version of the NY Yankees, where money can buy the best team.
Great for the Big 3 and fans of the Heat. Sad for the rest of the worlds basketball fans.
