    He would not be going there if not for Bosh and Wade going there too.

    Don't you think they had this prearranged? Bosh is Lebrons best friend. You mean to tell me they didn't talk about it beforehand? And you have to question why Lebron has tanked so bad in the playoffs. He didn't want Cleveland to win a championship. At least in the last few years. At least he could just miss shots instead of not taking any.

    I am sure it was prearranged. I just meant that comment as a response to the one about why did he got to Miami when they have not put any talent around Wade. Obviously they will have some talent now.

    I do not think Lebron failed to try to win in the playoffs though. I am sure wanted to win a ring whether he was in Cleveland or anywhere else.

    I agree with that for the most part, but would be curious to know what was going on in that last game of the Boston series. Something happened there for sure, whether an issue with management or another player (Delonte West) or somebody?

    I don't think anybody could look at the Boston series and say he didn't quit in it. I don't know if he had his mind made up before the series, but during it he definitely looked like someone just playing the string out so he could move on.

    That definately was the way things appeared. But I can't imagine a player like him just tanking that serious because he was ready to leave. Aside from having a chance to win a title(which should never be taken for granted) he would have made a ton of money if he did win that title.

    I've read a couple of places now, and thinking about it I'm starting to agree, that Lebron isn't motivated by the same things other people are motivated by. Winning just isn't that important to him. He'd rather be known as the "King" than the "Champ" and in his mind he can have one without the other.

    Well I dont' give a damn about the NBA except I always pulled for Michael and (for that) I want to see the Bobcats do good,,,,,,,,, but what kind of comment did Dewayne Wade make in the news conference when he mentioned "Michael, Magic and Bird never won championships by themselves"???

    I believe he was trying to point out that those 3 legends had help too, and they did,,,,,,,,,,, but DEAR DWADE, PLEASE DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO Michael, Magic or Bird,,,, anytime soon. One difference (among many) between DWade, Michael, Magic and Bird,,,,,,,,,, is that Michael, Magic and Bird wanted to play AGAINST each other and beat each other, they didn't have to go team up just to get a ring.

    Just my 2 cents.

    I never really embraced LaBron as a favorite player due in part to all his theatrics. Throwing powder in the air, ESPNs deep throating of him commercials a plenty, but after his immature actions following the Magic knocking him out two years back and now this year dealing with his free agency I hope like hell they don't win it all.
