The Chronicles of LeBron James

The drama that has been going on for quite a while now could be justified, considering the fact that LeBron James is one of the most followed players in basketball. Some would even go ahead and call him an all time great (I would!). For me, the whole LeBron drama has just been boring. There's a game going on, and what do the guys on Sportscenter talk about, as part of the halftime report? Any guesses? LeBron of course. Is he going to New York, or is he going with his friend Jay Z to the Nets? Chicago and Miami are also in the running....and it goes on......

Some people have identified this whole event as derogatory to the sport of basketball. I don't think so. People say that this never happened when Jordan was making his decisions. It sure did, just that things happen on a different scale today, and information escalates out of control owing to the superfluous outlets of media. Long back, people would have heard it once on the radio. Then came television. Now we keep hearing the same things on multiple levels, for those not satisfied, they would even head to espn360.com....and believe it or not, people might say they are bored by the whole thing, but when they go to the page, most are tempted to click on the LeBron link, and there......5 mins of life wasted, 5 mins one would never get back! (My sympathies with those who even follow the news on different levels, multiple sites).

Now that he has gone with the Miami Heat, I think the coming season is going to be an interesting one to follow. I would even go ahead to call this the first superteam of the NBA-James, Wade, Bosh on one side.....add Kobe and you have the Olypmics Redeem team. Like always, people have their doubts. I don't-you see I like to commit to a judgment! People say that this means nothing, that better 'teams' would outdo them.Three out of five guys don't form a team? Especially 3 guys who are good enough to score 80 points on a given night. And I can't even imagine what LeBron and Wade could achieve, given that they would be given the much needed rest, given that they would play with the comfort of not knowing that they do not have to go out each night scoring 30+ points. I think this is the team to beat now!

You have to give it to Pat Riley. A lot of teams offered the big money to LeBron. Pat Riley offered him a shot at the championship. When it comes to LeBron at this stage in life, when he has 10 good years left in him, he has ample time to earn his dollars. What he is hungry for right now, is the championship ring. That is something that eludes him, eludes their 'big 3'! And this new Miami outfit would give them their best shot at it. If they can't do it with this team, it might never really materialize.......
