The Miami Heat and LBJ Controversies

The Miami Heat acquired Chris Bosh and Lebron James to join in with Dwyane Wade for NBA 2010 – 2011 season in the team’s chase on another title. This has been the topic in the NBA of critics, bloggers, article writers, players, former players and fans for a couple of weeks since the acquisition, and not all of them were happy about it. The first reason fans and critics are complaining about is the imbalance of this team. Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Lebron James are three of the best players in the league today. Lebron James even won 2 consecutive MVP’s the past years, and combining three of them in one team seemed to be impossible to beat. Second is, Lebron leaving his old team “Cleveland Cavaliers”.  Lebron James crushed the hearts of Cavs fans when he anounced on TV that he’s going to leave Cleveland and will go and sign with Miami. No one have ever thought that Lebron will leave the Cleveland in search for a ring. Lots of people in Cleveland are very disappointed in James’ decision. The man they thought would bring the city’s championship trophy left them.

The so called “imbalance” of Miami Heat is not true. Miami heat has acquired all three of these guys with a huge contract limiting them in getting back up players that will ask for a low salary. Players with low salary means players that are not that great. These 3 can’t win by themselves. There are 15 players in one team and getting 3 great players doesn’t mean you can be a champion easily. The 12 remaining spots should have players that could blend in with their style of play, not mentioning whether these 3 star players will have a good chemistry or not. It doesn’t matter who you get in the team, any team can be a champion, it’s how you play as a team that matters.

Lebron had 7 great seasons in Cleveland and won them 1 conference finals. As we all know, Lebron tried his best to win them a championship. Although he failed to get a ring, he fought hard with his team and battled through every adversity faced in 7 years. But these accomplishments do not seem to matter for the Cavs owner and fans. These people now hatesJames and felt betrayed by him and even told the media that James is just choosing the easier way out. Well, nobody should blame Lebron James for choosing a better team. Okay, maybe James is choosing the easier way out, well good for him. Other teams and players should not be jealous of him and his team. They should stop being bitter seeing one team having great players and start planning how to beat them.

NBA 2010-2011 will be a very interesting season. Would the Miami Heat live up to the expectations or would they fail and make haters happy? Would other teams imitate what Miami did and acquire 3 or more great players too to have a good match up against the Heat? Would this affect the organization? We’ll find out all of these in November.
