What does everyone think about LeBron James decision to go to the Miami Heat over New York Knicks or Cleveland Cavs?

Well, I guess the sources had it right. He's off to play with Wade and Bosh (and whoever else they can dig up) in Miami. I posted this answer to another question, but I think it fits here as well.My take is that he didn't make the right call.

I think he should have either stayed loyal to Cleveland or gone to Chicago to win. LeBron made the choice to play with the guys he wanted to play with (Wade and Bosh) in the city he wanted to play in. If “the right decision” is based on doing what he had his heart set on, then sure, he made the right call.

But, if he was set on any of the following list of things, I don’t think he made the right call: 1. Money – clearly, he didn’t make the best financial choice. He gets the benefit of no state income tax in Florida, but it clearly wasn’t the best money move.

That would have had to be Cleveland (best contract) or New York (biggest market/best endorsement opportunities) 2. Loyalty – If he wanted to be loyal, he has to stay in Cleveland…but then again, he might not ever have won in Cleveland, so you can’t blame him a ton for leaving.3. Winning – there’s a talented trio in Miami and they’ve got to be considered among the favorites for the title, but I don’t think this was necessarily the best fit to win.

If he went to Chicago, he would have had Rose, Boozer, Noah AND some cap space to fill out the roster. In Miami, LeBron, Wade and Bosh are either going to have to take some pay cuts or the roster is going to be filled with players taking the minimum. I just think that if one of the three of them goes down in Miami it SERIOUSLY hurts their chances at a title.

In Chicago, there are more pieces already in place and I think he would have been a better compliment to the talent in Chicago than the talent in Miami.4. Legacy – To maximize his legacy, I think LeBron needed to go to a team where he was clearly THE man…like Jordan for the Bulls, Magic for the Lakers, Bird for the Celtics. Each of those guys had other pieces to the puzzle, but they were THE man on the team.

Miami is the scores the lowest marks on this front in my view. Even if he wins in Miami, he’s deteriorated his legacy because he couldn’t win as THE man in Cleveland and decided to form a virtual all-star team in order to win. The comparison here for me is to Kobe – Kobe cemented his legacy by winning WITHOUT Shaq (and with HIS team).

Don’t get me wrong, we’ll remember LeBron was great, but I think it will put a little question mark around him that we’ll always think about this TEAM and not primarily about LeBron. Maybe that’s what he wants, but it does change the legacy. I really don’t care that much that he made the switch and/or that he left Cleveland, but the way he went about it was terrible.

Putting together an hour long TV special is very self-absorbed, but then to go ahead and crush Cleveland makes it self-absorbed AND cruel. In a process that I think included bad choices from several angles, that might have been the worst of them all.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
