LeBron James decision to join the Miami Heat in the 2011 offseason change the way I look at him as a competitor and how big his ego is. What made me change my opinion of him is the way he handled it and that he was going to join Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade, the three of them are the top players in the Eastern Conference. He made a big ESPN special called “The Decision”. The show took and hour, it was mainly to find out where he was going to play for the next season. I like many other basketball fans tuned in to see where he was going to play. He told the world where he was to play in the first ten minutes of the special and the rest of the show just seemed like a waist of time. Once he joined the Heat the expectations for the team were extremely high, there were talks of them beating the Chicago Bulls record of 72 wins in one regular season. The three of them joined one team with on thing in mind and that was to win a championship. The three of them joining brought a huge celebration to the city of Miami and their fans, in front of their fans they came out in their uniforms dancing and jumping like they have already won a championship when in reality the haven’t even played one team together . What made me question him as a competitor was that he could have won a championship with the team he had and it seemed to me like he took the easy way out
Yea I agree he did take the easy way out, and I lost respect for him too.
