1. Diemsma, remember that NO ONE WANTED TO GO TO CLEVELAND. The Midwest does not appeal to urban blacks and circa 2010 that area of the country was dying harshly. They plain told Lebron no.
Secondly, remember that The Lakers got Kobe because hiugh schoolers were undervalued and got Shaq because he didn't want to be in a crappy city anymore either. The Spurs lucked into Duncan and Robinson and got Manu/Parker because every other team is stupid.
Wade and Lebron were so good that their teams, lottery teams, kept making playoff runs because they were so good. Same thing Jordan did. But then Jordan got his coach fired( no one brings this up) and lucked into Pippen by having a crappy team. Wade and Lebron never got Pippen because they kept winning and were punished for it. Bird/Magic had loaded teams in a small league.
People need to get over them teaming up. They did the same thing everyone else did just on a different way.
not re-signing with cleveland is ok, but joining your #1 rival who's already won a ring, on said #1 rival's team, is bulls***. if lebron had signed with say bosh in NY, would have been totally different. what he did is something you're supposed to do when you're 40 like GP or karl malone and go ring-chasing on an established superstar's team as part of the supporting cast because you never won one in your prime.
lakers were lucky in getting shaq and kobe but they did it fairly. same with spurs. (both team drafted incredibly intelligently too.)
