Thy Kingdom Come

The potential new "Big 3" in Miami seems to be getting more and more realistic, so what will this move do to the league? Having two of the top five players along with one of the best PFs will be sure to create the most buzz since Jumpman graced us with his presence on the hardwood. The question becomes what other role players will come in to compliment the three giants. Obviously they aren't gonna be touching the ball very often so their ego better be nonexistent. No matter what, this team will be must watch TV every time they play. Many believe this trio wont be able to co-exist together but if you really analyze it you may come to the conclusion that they might just be the best trio of all time when it is all said and done.

LeBron has been praised for his passing ability and vision along with his willingness to distribute. Dwyane Wade's ability to move without the ball and then create off the dribble is unmatched, he goes to the hole with a reckless abandone and finishes in Jordan-like fashion. D-Wade also has an uncanny ability to find the open man. Picture this, as he attacks and draws the defense a 6'8" lion comes streaming down the middle like a train and leaps 14 feet in the air to catch the lob Wade just tossed over his shoulder and throws it down with so much authority the hardwood floor becomes unhinged and the lights flicker in the nose-bleeds as his roar echos throughout the arena. It will be a sight to behold. finally LeBron will have a teammate who wants to take the last shot and is cold-blooded enough to make those shots in Wade. The lefty 7 footer that is Chris Bosh has gone largly unnoticed being in Toronto but, with the other two, is good for 17 and 9 every night. It's true all three will have sacrafices to make but I predict D-Wade to still average around 25 with leBron setting the Assist record averaging around 12 pg.

Is this team good for the league?

The Miami Heat would be considered the most dominant team, on paper, in recent memory. The NBA would probably be better served if the King chose New York to team up with Amar'e or Chicago with D-Rose but the fact is these guys want championships. James was expected to win championships early and has not been able to get over the hump so it seems times have called for drastic measures. Will he be considered weak for having to team with two other stars or will he be commended for choosing championships over the $30 million more he could make if he stayed in northern Ohio. There will be haters as there always are in sports, those people can find a better way to waste their energy. The idea of sports is to compete and to win, it has also become entertainment and what better entertainment than to watch Wade and James together for the next 6 years and possibly a 6-peat!

If you're upset about the way LeBron is treating this whole situation get over it! We as a society have created this monster. We dubbed him the chosen one when he was 17 and he has exceeded all of the hype. If the King wants to have an hour special, because he can, then damnit he should. It is raising money for a charity and everyone is obviously interested in what hes going to do. tune in and enjoy (except Cleveland fan, it'll be like watching your own funeral). There will be the person who thinks James has no class for choosing another team over his "hometown" but the truth is even when he was growing up in Akron his favorite team was Chicago, his loyalty didn't lie in Cleveland just because he happened to be born in Ohio. LeBron has a talent we all can only dream of and that talent is his, his life is his, and his future is his. Why do we get so emotionally involved in this stuff? It's entertainment and we get mad when these guys don't do what we want them to do. We need to have a come-to-Jesus and understand where we rate in the world. We are spectators, the audience and these guys are trying to give us the greatest show on earth, for goodness sake ENJOY IT!

Peace Easy, B.Hunt
