Best player In the world right now just not a Kobe or Jordan like winner This is only true to LeBron haters, revisionists, or those with a low BB IQ. No one wins the championship by themselves. Even Jordan needed help to win. He didn't win a championship (not even a division championship) until 6 years later, while Chicago built a solid TEAM around him. LeBron waited 8, with no help in sight. The team was built around JORDAN, he was the key part. Teams were built around magic, bird, Shaquille, Duncan, Hakeem, kobe, etc. (modern era). Lebrun calls himself the king but needs to team up with wade and bosh. Will never be cemented as a great for what he did. Guy wore a t shirt with a pic of himself on it at the after party then wonders why no one likes him. Congrats to d wade on number 2 So the NBA and Finals MVP was not the key in this whole deal? This team is not a championship team unless Lebron is the key player. We saw that last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no doubt LeBron's a great player, but putting a team together this way rubs people the wrong way. The same way people hate the Yankees for building their championship teams by outspending everyone else? Yes Ownership and management are behind the stacking of the Yankees year after year. Its not like Jeter called up A-Rod, Teixiera, and Granderson and say 'hey, let's all play together so we can win a World Series.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players were the driving force behind the union on the Heat, which understandably comes across as weakness to some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be a fan of the Bulls. I understand the resentment from everybody. Bosh and Lebron were free agents. Thankgoodness Pat Riley and Wade were able to convince them both to come here. Collusion would have been if both Bosh and Lebron were under contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a sign of these instant gratification times ... and why the two local championships, and the Rays runs, were even that more fun to be a part of ... teams growing up together, with just a few tweaks to get them the prize.
