I'm a big LBJ fan, but I agree that he pretty much represents everything wrong with the NBA nowadays (over-hyped, over-paid, selfish prima donnas).
Whilst he has all the talent and ability to be one of the best players to have ever played the game, he lacks the one key element that made his predecessors (MJ, Dr J, Magic) endearing and perennial fan favourites - humility.
Same with Kobe, these guys know they're good, they know they've got the talent and they know they're got pretty much the NBA and the media in their hands, so they think they can do whatever they want.
I hated that he went to the Heat - even if they win a championship (or multiple ones), he's tarnished and diminished his own legacy by not doing it on his own and joining up with Wade.
What he should have done was joined the Knicks and done it on his own there - he's got an ego bigger than Broadway, so it should only be fitting that he plays there in the presence of one of the biggest markets in pro sport.
LBJ has pretty much disappeared in the past couple of the Finals games and has left it to Wade and Bosh to win the championship - so for that, he doesn't deserve to win it all.
