Lebron is my favorite basketball player and I will not say anything negative about this superstar.
I have been following him for a few years and am in awe of his basketball skills.
I’ve seen him fight trying to win an NBA championship. When the Cavaliers were playing in the 2008 NBA East elimination game against the Boston Celtics when game five came around, I could see that he was tired and perhaps mentally gave up. He believed that a spectacular basketball player could not win a championship. You have to be surrounded by quality players.
And when he got to the Miami Heat. I said great. Now LeBron can be surrounded by great players: Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
His method of announcing his departure and going to the Miami Heat was questionable and that started all the criticism of LeBron. It didn’t bother me.
It was fun to watch in Miami when smoke filled the room and there was a huge celebration before the Heat even played a single game. Lebron also said that he was going to win multiple championships. That really got the Lebron haters started. Now all the pressure was on LeBron and the Miami Heat.
It never deserved all the criticism it received throughout the year. Didn’t Michael Jordan and Kobe have an ego and for good reason? LeBron isn’t just a great player, he’s a phenomenal player. When he said he was going to win several championships, I know he believed it in his heart.
No matter what Lebron did, he never deserved to be looked down upon and criticized by people.
So he didn’t win a championship, so what? No one expected the Heat to go as far in the playoffs as they did. LeBron deserves to win a championship!
LeBron created a ripple effect in the NBA forever. Many of the basketball players in 2010 free agency left to go to other teams so they could win a championship. Real great players want to win a championship and not just play for money. What is the use of winning games if it is not to reach the final?
A lot of operations took place in the 2010 and 2011 trading deadline. Great basketball players wanted to go to a team to win.
Now that Lebron didn’t win a championship, basketball players can now stay where they are and simply surround themselves with quality players, not just Allstars or Superstars. Just watch the Dallas Mavericks winning the NBA championship with superstar Dirk Nowitzki and quality players around him.
Lebron has created a domino effect and Dirk Nowitzki created the reverse domino effect and both changed the NBA forever.
