The issue with Lebron that irks me the most is that he premeditated getting superstars together to win a championship. I understand the need for a 1-2 punch to be successful but 3 legitimate "first" options on one team is too much imo. So I hate that the so called The Chosen One needs 2 other superstars to get himself a ring. My question: If Lebron didn't recuit Bosh and it was only him and Wade in Miami, would you be more inclined to cheer for him?
It's not even a tainted ring. I'd rather win a ring that some people called tainted than to stay in Cleveland and not win a ring at all. As for your question if they didn't sign Bosh they could have added more depth to their team.
Chris Bosh is not a legitimate first option, at least not for a good team. He's also not a superstar.
Averaging 23 pts and 10 reb a game for past 5 years before he got to Miami. He was as much of a first option as Amare Stoudamire.
then they would have complained about him not winning in Cleveland ... If the Decision came this summer instead, and knowing Rose's rise to superstardom, those same people who said "If he chose Chicago, that would have been cool" , would still say he needed someone else........ It truly was a no-win situation for Lebron ....But he chose the best out of the no-win situation.....Kudos to him
I thought the consensus around here was that Bosh sucks, he's soft, and that he cries after losses. Why, all of the sudden, is he the reason that Lebron is winning?
He was doing so on a very bad team, and didn't play defense. Bosh was never going to be the best player on a title winning team.
Was our championships tainted NO. Will LeBron's be tainted NO. So many things could've gone wrong in Miami but they made it work. Give them credit. But they still have to get through Dallas.
Needing someone else is fine. That's the point of the thread. If he teamed up with Rose or Stoudamire or Howard or CP3, I don't think that many people would be upset at his quest for a ring. This ain't about him leaving cleveland. Leaving cleveland was perfectly fine.
I hate the Heat but I won't go as far as saying tainted. Words like manfactured and cheapend are a better fit IMO. If they didn't have Bosh I would respect the rings a little more. Having three players that might need to be doubled on any given night is a huge deal.
well to answer the question...I dont think anything would have changed in people's eyes because he left Cleveland to do it...An even better question would be what if they both came to Cleveland,and it was Lebron's doing(Kobe), would people still hate to give him his due??
Exactly, it's so rigged, and it's not even good basketball. Heat doesn't even play hard, they just cruise control for some time when they are bored, and they just win when they want to. When you stack 2 superstars and a top 5 power forward, it doesn't take as much heart or good basketball to win it all.
This is stupid. What about Boston and their big 3? Here's a question though: How good would the Miami Heat be WITHOUT LeBron James? My guess is they would be good, but nowhere close to a championship team. They would have been crushed by Boston or Chicago.
