Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Where to begin? How about getting the obvious out of the way and confirm that I'm going to share my feelings with plenty of bias. LeBron has decided that he wants to play for the Miami Heat and his buddies Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh next season. The news broke earlier this morning, and James himself confirmed it on that silly ESPN "The Decision" special this evening.

I'm going to go on record right now and say that the Miami Heat will not win a championship with this group of three players next year, or ever. I am confident when I say that for the following reasons. First, the lack of depth on the Heat roster - to which my brother astutely pointed out that all 3 will have to average 44 minutes per game. Second, the last time I checked there is only one basketball on the court. LeBron has been case as a "facilitator" in his style of play. That will ultimately be put to the test this season as he will more than likely be expected to defer to Wade in tough situation which leads me to my third reason. Third, this is STILL Dwayne Wade's team! By LeBron joining the Heat, he is either blind to this, or he really believes he will wrestle control away from Wade right away in terms of being The Face of the Miami Heat.

LeBron has made a huge mistake by not signing with the Bulls. He and his camp have also conducted themselves in a very unprofessional manner, and his stock has been permanently affected in terms of his legend status - even if he DOES manage to pull the rabbit out of the hat and win a ring. It won't be "LeBron's Championship", it will be Wade and his supporting casts championship.
