Dude you pulled one of the most serious douche bag moves of all time in the history of media, not sports but media and pop culture.
You don't have an hour long special to f##k over your loyal hometown fans and don't think for one second that you are the 'king'. Dude, Jordan did it a certain way as did, Kobe, Magic,Bird,Hakeem and Tim. They didn't position themselves in such a way cause they wanted to do it on their own. Lebron look at Kevin Durant if you wanna see how its done in this age of the NBA.
Also, I don't ever, ever, everrrrrr ( a la jericho ) wanna hear you in discussions as being one of the best ever. Cause when you partner yourself with 2 of the top 6 guys in the L at their primes.....your not as good as advertised.
I am not gonna lie, I'm gonna enjoy watching this Heat squad but the principal behind this, just doesn't sit well with me. I am interested to see how Lebron handles being 1b now, cause don't get it twisted, that's Wade's team and town. According to James, it was an opportunity to play with Wade. Hmmmmm.......I love Dwayne Wade after Kobe he's my other favorite player in the league (melo/durant and f'n david lee are in my list too). Anyhow the entire 'air apparent' discussion is over. Kobe is the closest, Lebron literally has changed his legacy and direction of his career by doing this. Lebron you will now be known as the 2nd fiddle. But as much as I am not a Lebron fan (well of his ego and persona) I did happen to see 'more then a game' and it is clear that the guy loves friends around him on and off the court.
So perhaps this decision was made also with a personal 'need' to be fulfilled and it maybe doesn't matter to him....the fact that your the 'man', the legacy and the perception among your peers and the greats.
I am far from done about talking about this, just wanted this to be the initial post and ill begin again tomorrow!!
p.s. Ray/Paul and Kevin decided to hookup in the twilight of their careers, no harm done, they wanted things to end the right way, with a chip. In their primes however, they all were the respective "man" on their teams...
