Oh, man, where do I start?
He never said he would win 8 titles, he said the goal was to win them. The words "we will win 8 titles" or aything like it never came out of his mouth. Is it bad to have the goal to win a lot?
EVERY TEAM in EVERY SPORT tries to assemble the best players in order to win. Thats just how it works. I don't get why people can't get a grasp on this as a reality. The first owner/gm/coach/player to come out and say otherwise is a liar. Futhermore, if they are not trying to do so, do you really want them representing your team? I wouldn't.
The celtics put 2 top 10 (KG and Pierce) and a top 25 (Allen) together just 5 years ago, and nobody cried like this. The Lakers try to buy talent each year, as do the aforementioned Yanks and Sox, and the Cowboys and Redskins. They are open about it. But every tea is trying to get the best guys they can afford. Its dumb and naive to think otherwise.
How exactly is Lebron a bum? The man has 3 WELL DESERVED MVPs, i defy you to tell me someone else is a better basketball player than him right now. 27 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists per game for his career, and he has 5-7 more peak years.
And what kills me, is how every heat fan gets labled as a "bandwagon" fan, when in fact the bandwagon is in OKC right now. They had NO FANS 2 years ago, how is EVERYONE a Thunder fan today? Its crazy. Despite what my comments here may have you thinking, I a a Knicks fan. Havnt always been, but I can no longer support the Magic as long as they continue to cater to that diva Dwight Howard. But I am cheering on the Heat in these finals, because I can see how special LBJ6 really is on that court. If more people stop hating, and learn to appreciate, they would see it too.

I will always root against any team that attempts to buy their championships by bringing in mercenary players. Prime reason I hate the Yankees and the Red Sox along with the heat.
Wade, Bosh and the Bum basically, for the lack of a better word, conspired to get themselves on the same team in order to win. If a team owner had done something like that, the media and the players union would be up in arms.
The arrogance of the Le Bum saying that he was going to win 8 titles following his great broadcast of his 'decision'. He is a prick of the first order and i will always despise him for that. If he were to blow out both of his knees it wold say it could not happen to an more deserving prick.
