Watching the city-wide felatio, I mean coronation, of "the 3 kings"....

Pat Riley had some interesting expressions on his face like "STFU Lebron".....I saw this during a couple comments Lebron made "we're going to push each other so hard in practice, it's going to be easy on game day...EASY....Pat, you could suit up just throw it up and we'd go get it" and then "I didn't come here to win a championship...championSHIPS....not one...not two...not three four five...not six....not seven....hehehehe". The last one particularly is when Riley stopped smiling all together..

Lebron has become Hollywood Hulk Hogan. I think his ego is finally bringing down 7 years of a carefully planned and maintained image.

Good for him. Then Wade can ask him how he and his 8 rings taste.

If the goal was ever to be considered a Goat, it didn't make alot of sense to team up with a fellow superstar that will always have 1 more ring than you no matter how many you win together.

Just as Kobe heard before he won it without Shaq, Lebron can prepare for a life of "he could never win it without D-Wade."

It won't be soon, but there will be a point at which that does start to eat at him that he is not getting the credit he will undoubtedly thinks he deserves for his titles.

That whole welcoming party thing made me laugh.... Getting Keys to the City & County.. "Three Kings" nickname & the whole "we're the best big 3 ever put together" on top of guaranteeing 7 titles...... Plus the Miami fans chanting "Beat LA", As much as everyone on here probably thinks we're too old BUT they do have to go through the defending Eastern Conference Champions first!! I hope Doc Rivers plays a tape of this before every game this season b/c it was a complete JOKE

I'd love to hear Jordan's reaction to that and this whole debacle. Some might take the PC route, but deep down I can't imagine any of the greats having all that much respect for taking the path of least resistance to multiple titles.

I agree Lebron and Bosh will never get the credit they think they will deserve for whatever titles they win. Wade, however, I could see an argument for engineering this and pulling it off, especially if perception comes to be that it's his team and he's the leader. Even if it wasn't wholly his idea or he doesn't deserve the credit, I think you can see how this is a feather in Wade's cap and mark against the other two.

Great examples are Pippen and Rodmen. Both good players but no way do they win without Jordan. And no way either of these 3 win without each other.

I do not see them winning it next season.
3 players no matter how great will need some help and the bench and other starting two won't give them much at all.

Not really. Jordan won 3 titles without Rodman. Pippen is the one constant. Pippen was considered a top-5 player because Jordan made him that much better, but he really wasn't a top-5 player and it's not comparable to 3 of the top 5 or 10 guys in the league joining up. And Rodman won 2 titles in Detroit, Would you like to try again?

Way to be rood at the end there dick. All I am saying is no one counts the rings that either of them have as their teams rings like they do Kobe's last 2 and MJ's 6. Amount of rings don't matter in the eyes of most people. its how you get them. Adam Morrison has 2.

I LOL'd at this tweet:

13,000 fans at the introduction. 25,000 fans at a free Drake concert at South Street Seaport. Lebron made the right decision.

Free concert is better IMO.

Somewhere Dan Gilbert's eyes are bulging out of his skull seeing those pictures and hearing about the 7 championships Lebron plans on winning.

Ahhh, sorry, I obviously didn't get the point you were making. I fully agree. Although I would say Kobe's 3 with Shaq have taken on "more value" with the other two, and Lebron will eventually have to go that route to get the same recognition. That's why I don't think he'll even play out the whole 5yrs in MIA, much less win 7+ titles there.

Did anyone else think lebron looked really uncomfortable up there. I thought so. He was real fidgity(sp?) and kept like fake smiling. I thought bosh looked the same way.

I'm still just shocked this has all happened. It's hard to just hate someone you spent so much time watching. I live in Lancaster and regularly made trips to Akron to watch him play in hs. I love watching him play basketball. But he took this too far.

I could be completely wrong, but I'd be willing to bet within a year his image will have a huge scar on it from the paparrazi in Miami. They'll catch him doing something.
When tiger got caught I kept thinking, lbj might be the only good guy left. I don't think that's the case anymore and I'd guess he will get exposed of it before long.

Yeah, LeBron also said this:

"I don't want to go ring-chasing, I want to stay with the Cavs and build a champion"

-- lebron's words from a 2006 espn the magazine piece

To whom cares:

LeBitch's LeCision Ratings: Cle- 26.0, C-Bus- 14.2, Mia- 12.8, Chi- 10.7, NY- 10.4.

Little ol market of Cleveland doubled the others. This is how much we cared. Everybody and their momma was watching in Cleveland.

I just loved the spectacle they created tonight. Rising up through the stage, the flashing lights, the fog machines, it was like a WWE event with them cutting heel promos.

I can't remember which one of them it was, but they were going on about feeling sorry for whoever has to try and guard them. Lebron said when he is out running the break with Wade and Bosh you could put Pat Riley out there to run with them it will be so easy.

Lebron talking about the 7 championships.

I mean these guys were writing some awful big checks tonight with their mouths. They've clearly got some game to back it up, but they are doing nothing to downplay expectations, and if anything are trying to ramp them up from already lofty heights.
