This is illustrated by Lebron famously wearing a Yankees cap to an Indians game, after sucking all kinds of special favors from the Indians' management. Questioned about it, he said "I'm here representing the Yankees."
Lebron is a goner, outa here, and most of us realize it is already a done deal.
But the Heat did have a great coach who knew how to build a TEAM and players who knew how to work together and win. Mike Brown does not seem to have a clue as to how to motivate his players to do anything more than stand around and watch LeBron do it all for them.
The coach and other players all get paid yet they let LeBron do all the work. If you’ve ever watched them you’ll see it. Other teams’ players move around trying to get into position to get a good shot at the basket. The Cavs stand around a watch LeBron. They stand still waiting for him to make the basket. They give him very little help at all.
It was a little better this year because they had Shak, who at least knows how to play, even though his old body doesn’t work as well as it used to. And Jamison who they got this year from another team also knows how to play without standing around watching LeBron James. It’s pathetic.
LeBron comes to the stadium two to three hours early to practice every game. Very few of his teammates ever join him and even then it’s very rare when it happens. He has done everything within the power of one human being to win games. Yet he has to take the blame for the owner who doesn’t care, the teammates who are no help and a coach who can’t figure out what to do about it all.
If LeBron had Pat Riley and Dwayne Wade with him, he’d probably have a championship ring now.
