Decisions, Decisions!

Every decision in life comes with some sort of consequence, some good and some bad. 
In the case of LeBron Jame's decision to bolt rainy Cleveland for the Miami sun we will have to wait and see. 

One thing I do know is that this team is going to be GOOD!  I mean really GOOD!  Think about how you are going to try and stop 3 All-Stars on the same..in their prime.  Did you see what the Boston 3 Party did in only one year, heck they could have potentially won 2 in 3 years.  People will say the emergence of Rondo helped them, but Rondo is not Rondo without the big 3.  The 3 Amigos (my nickname for them) will draw so much attention that a new star will be born in Miami.  It could be 3rd year guard Mario Chalmers who is certainly capable of knocking down open shots if left open. 

All in all I believe Bron made the best decision for himself.  We are all selfish by nature, and if you weren't then you would not truly be alive.  Lebron has been a machine since he was in the 9th grade, said all the right things, played for the home team and never really got in trouble.  If he is shunned for wanting to win championships in his own right then so be it.  Jordan would have left Chicago if Pippen did not come along, you know why?  Because they would not have won a single title without him.  True, LeBron had the team to do it last year but fell short; now he has a new lease on life and should be a force for the Heat.  This Heat team has 3 of the 5 starters from the USA Basketball team that won gold.  Not sure how much stock goes into that but I do know that the Lakers could not beat Cleveland last year, and they struggled against a scrappy Heat team only to be bailed out by a Kobe 3.  Depending on the way the seeding ends up in the East I am picking them to go to the Finals. 

I am a fan of Basketball first, teams second, and players last.  Most people root for individuals and not the team, but in the case of Cleveland LeBron is a wanted man.  I cant wait to see the new Miami Heat take the floor against the Lakers on Christmas and LeBrons homecoming in October.  This has never been done, so of course some people want truly understand.  The 3 amigos are trendsetters and I look forward to seeing how this decision turns out for the King.
