Ok so I know i'm a little late with this post but it took some time for it to hit me. We all know Lebron will be playing for the Miami Heat along with Wade and Bosh this coming season. Everyones saying that this is the "dream team" calling them the "triple threat" and s***. Honestly, i don't think so at all. They can go on and believe that they're the new Charlies Angels of Miami if they want to but i guarantee you all that the championship trophies, rings, champagne bottles won't be the deal for them this season. No team is going to let them win, let alone have the best record. Lebron straight up took the easy way out which leads to a lost a respect from me. Miami is WADES city and it will stay like that until he decides to play somewhere else. Lebron won't be "King James" out there at all. Bosh? Bosh is no one. Sure he's a great player but he doesn't fit in that box with Wade and Lebron(just in my opinion).
I really wanted Lebron to play in New York not just because thats my team since 93'(technically 95' because thats when i fully understood the game of basketball) but because he could've lived up to his name. Lebron could've carried NYC on his back and led the Knicks down that road of success. I was devastated when he said Miami. Knicks fans - we all want the Knicks to win a championship but i know i don't speak for myself when i say it would be so pleasing to see the Knicks with a good record and a certified spot in the Playoffs. Knicks Basketball will never be how it used to be in 2002 and back, you know, when Sprewell was just that dude on the Knicks, Reggie Miller being the topic of New York when he didn't even play... for New York, or even When John Starks was around, those were the days, damn, wheres Chris Childs with the two piece? Now we have to depend on Stoudiemire to bring it back one time, but can he do it alone? Guess we'll have to wait and see. Tony Parker? Melo maybe?... ha, we'll see.

LeBron definitely took the easy way out in my opinion as well. I personally would rather see him in a Chicago or New York jersey. But as a former high school player it's nothing like playing on a team with friends. In HS you have your brothers and y'all split up after graduation, and the same thing in college. Your brothers aren't guaranteed a slot in the draft. Now, LeBron est. that brotherhood in Cleveland, but was betrayed by one of his "brothers." When you get a chance to play with your brothers again it kinda brings back the fun in the game. Isn't that what it's really about anyway?
I feel you man. No more comment on Lebron. It is what it is. I think the Knicks are good enough to make the playoffs somewhere between the 6 & 8 seeds this year. They signed a solid point guard and are adding bits & pieces to ensure that they'll be competitive. I'll take that. It's been brutal being a Knicks fan since the Sprewell/Housten duo broke up. I'm proud that the organization for taking forward steps. Props to Donnie Walsh. We'll be fine this year.
btw...Melo in 2011
Oh man, please pardon my grammer here. Can't even explain that lol.
As a Knick fan myself, even though we weren't able to get Lebron I definitely know the Knicks are making a comeback and become a playoff team. But the previous comments already called it that Lebron leaving Cleveland felt like a betrayal for the city. But forget the Lebron hype now, NY Knicks ftw.
