LeBum James Heads to Miami

Until yesterday when LeBum James made his journey down the mount to give us commoners an hour of his time, I actually liked him.

His legacy in my eyes is already being chiseled in stone. He needed a "dream team" to win a championship. Think of the people that mention him in the same sentence as Kobe Bryant. Kobe has 5 rings which two have come with good, not great teammates. Kobe took on the challenge and brought championships to LA. LeBum at a mere 26 years old, has given up on a team that had the best regular season record in the NBA, and lost to the eventual Eastern Conference Champs, the Boston Celtics.

How can a King give up on a team and a City that he built? The only conclusion I can come up with is that he is not as elite as his marketing team has made him out to be. All the greats in the league have given their city a championship by being a leader and making others around them better. LeBum made it known that he doesn't have the fortitude to fight through a challenge. He instead went the easy route and will let someone else be the leader (Dwayne Wade).

Good for the Heat, bad for the fans who thought they were seeing greatness in LeBum. Hey LeBum, why don't you learn from the greats like Jordan, Bird, Kobe, Pierce, David Robinson, Tim Duncan and see how they took good teams and won championships. As of Wednesday you had no enemies in the NBA. Thursday you made us watch you give Cleveland, NY, NJ, LA the finger. Now you can learn from a true leader Kevin Durant. While you were receiving the attention you need to feel important, Kevin was on the sidelines with his summer league team cheering them on. He tweeted his contract extension which keeps him in OKC trying to win and make others better. That is leadership.

So you are now a mere prince to King Wade. I hope you never get the ring you screwed so many to get.
