Finally, James made his decision



LeBron James chose to join his Olympic teammates in Beijing, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. This is set to be the biggest of all the trios in NBA. I can say that this trio will make a dynasty. A three-pack of superstars if I may call it.

This decision made by James is not just about money. It’s all about winning. LeBron recently stated that he wants to win multiple titles and that alone could have been a huge factor for his decision. LeBron James, a two-time NBA MVP wanted to make his decisions straight. Being an MVP means winning championships. Taking your team on top of the league to take the major award and not just collecting individual awards. It’s all about the gold trophy, the championship rings and the banners hanging inside the arena.

“I can’t say it was always in my plans, because I never thought it was possible,” James said during the ESPN coverage, “But the things that the Miami Heat franchise have done, to free up cap space and be able to put themselves in a position this summer to have all three of us, it was hard to turn down. Those are two great players, two of the greatest players that we have in this game today.”

With LeBron’s decision, he knew that this would not turn out well for the Ohio fans. “They can have mixed emotions, of course,” James said, adding that, “Akron will always be home for me.”

In Cleveland, television images showed at least one fan burning James’ No. 23 wine-and-gold jersey. “I can’t get involved in that,” James said.” I wanted to do what was best for LeBron James … At the end of the day, I feel awful. I feel even worse that I wasn’t able to bring an NBA championship to that city.”

“To my real fans out there, I hope that you’ll continue to support me all the way to Miami.”

Knicks president Donnie Walsh also gave his comment of James’ decision. “We are disappointed that LeBron James did not pick the New York Knicks, but we respect his decision,”

Meanwhile, his new home wasted no time in beginning the celebration. Horns honked outside the arena and on Miami Beach, where Wade was watching the announcement with members of his inner circle. “It’s going to be crazy,” Wade said.

It’s a huge success for the Heat to bring all these talents together. Pat Riley, Miami’s president landed them all. With their cap space getting full, there are rumors that Michael Beasley will be traded to the Timberwolves for Minnesota’s 2011 second-round pick and a swap of future first-round picks. Heat definitely would need to clear more cap space to ensure that the Heat will be able to pay all three superstars and add some supporting cast to make their title run.
