Hearing this news really got me excited for the upcoming season. Lebron James alone is more than enough for me but adding Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade going back to Miami I went WHOA! I just hope they can blend as a team well. So far the only sad thing for me is hearing a lot of criticism against Lebron James for making this decision. I can understand the Cleveland Cavaliers fans but other NBA legends? As far as legacy is concern LBJ has already made a lot like winning MVP honors, becoming a top endorser, a basketball icon, an olympic gold medal and besides he wouldn't be in this position if he wasn't a big star. My take not just because I'm a heat fan, all he wants is a championship ring. Not all great players have experienced that in the NBA, talking about legends like Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller.
I think he doesn't want to gamble anymore like taking chances on being the only star player in one team and end up retiring not winning a championship. Today's level of game is a lot different from the past. So I hope the legends can understand his decision and again it's no longer about the legacy as an individual player but the chance to win a championship.
On a side note:
I've been Miami Heat fan ever since Alonzo Mourning joined them (traded from Charlotte Hornets Glenn Rice). It was years of bitterness and anger for me. I really hated the NY Knicks back then haha. The 2006 NBA Finals was really a classic for, despite being the first finals for Miami Heat it was also their first ever conference and first ever NBA Championship. Only big regret for me was not being able to watch it love on TV cause we had to attend a meeting (which unfortunately was a nonsense meeting ><). Sadly Alonzo Mourning already retired but his last finals game was an epic, disregard the other stats the 5 blocks alone are more than enough for me.
