The Heat is on; Open thread



King James chose Miami Heat. And I thought LeBron was going to either Chicago or New York. Lebron joins Dwayne Wade at the Heat. Well, there were mixed reviews on LeBron decision:

Cavs Owner SLAMS LeBron. Whereas Miami Heat organization is thrilled. Click here.

The Chicago Bulls were holding their breath on this one, we really thought we had a shot.

Anyhow, nice look to the blog.

A lot of people thought he would come to Chicago but it looks like they are building a dream team in Miami, and who would want to be in Chicago in the winter?

The owner's curse thing was hilarious. It worked for a goat on the Cubs. Ha!

Go Sox!

Thanks, Third.

Clippers was never in the running because they lack a coach and their team is not together. I knew Lebron wouldn't stay with Cavaliers. He hinted too much that he wanted to explore his options. Anyway, he chose Miami. LeBron is good hands with former Laker coach and now Miami Heat President Pat Riley. Now he has a mentor that will teach LeBron how to be a better leader and win championships.

Who can forget Pat Riley in the
'80's with Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Jamar Wilkes, and others.

Certainly Ohio is not happy with LeBron's decision.

Kinda hard to walk by the statue of Michael Jordan, I thought, Though I thought the coach's/organizations that included the words betrayal and cowardly were over-the-top and will probably be regretted.

The Cav organization is hurt because the revenue for the Cavs will tank because of LeBron's departure. The organization knows that Shaq cannot carry the Cavs. Only LeBron brings in the crowd and revenue. NBA is a business and LeBron was a free agent.

And cursing LeBron will hurt the Cav organization. They need to find another star. However, the pressure is on LeBron as Miami and the LeBron brand will see if LeBron will produce a championship. It's all about ROI--Return On Interest.
