Im actually fine with James, he left Cleveland in an ugly fashion, but that reflected badly on him only, and really does anyone blame him for leaving Cleveland, look what happened to them after he left, he needed to go to a team that would at least try to support him.
I'm more against Miami because the 'big 3' collaborated to try and buy a championship, they have not built a team, they just forced themselves onto one.
That and Kidd needs a championship, can't let him become the next Barkley!

He was supported and Cleveland tried to give him whoever would play for him. He can leave cleveland but he could've been traded for another superstar so that the cavs won't be in last place. But he chose to let them think he was staying so that he won't be traded to a team he doesn't want to play for.
The Cavs gave him everything. In other teams, rookies would be riding the bench or be subs. He's a starter for them and allowed him to have unbelievable stats. The Cavs were the #1 seed. They just can't get over the hump. It's his team. I think he promised them a championship.

These reasons sum up why I want to see LeBron miss out on a ring. Wade's the real star in Miami and I'm fine with him getting another ring (and it'd be nice to see Bibby get one).
LeBron was of course perfectly entitled to sign with whoever he wanted to in free agency. But after promising Cleveland a championship, when he left the Cavs hanging on & hoping rather than paying them the respect of indicating that he's going, he left them with nothing. This to a club that gave him everything they could in their quests to win the championship & retain LeBron.
Contrast this with Carmelo Anthony, who plainly told the Nuggets he wasn't going to stick around and wanted to head to the Knicks. Aside from the fact that this actually allowed Denver to plan for life after Melo, it also allowed them to cash him in for some decent assets when they traded him to New York. Sure he wanted out, but he paid some respect to Denver at least.

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.
