sircarlosthesecond / It had nothing to do with matrkeing. There were quite a bit of problems that people have with LeBron going to Miami.First and foremost, LeBron is a superstar, point blank. For the past 7 years, we've been told that LeBron was the heir apparent, and that he would most likely surpass Michael Jordan as the best to ever play the game. This is why he was coined as the King, and the Chosen One. He, himself, took on this persona, going as far as getting tattoos of these very words. For LeBron James to get so much hype, and so much praise was annoying, but fair. He performed at a high level since he came into the league. But for him to go to another team where he would have the best chance to win rings is pretty ridiculous. That, in a sense, makes him a full-blown ring chaser. Players went to play with Jordan when they were chasing rings. Jordan never looked to play with the Pistons to do so.He essentially took the easy way out. LeBron is a great player, I must admit. But his move to South Beach shows that he'd prefer to shy away from the spotlight, something Michael or Kobe wouldn't (and haven't) done. This is exactly why people compare LeBron to Pippen. Scottie Pippen shied away from being the leader and handling things under pressure, going as far as to sitting out when Toni Kukoc was given the last shot in an Eastern Conference Finals' game. The same principle applies to LeBron. He's relieving himself of pressure by joining two other superstars (note that I didn't say All-Stars ).Secondly, the way LeBron announced his decision irked a lot of people. ESPN paid for a story, which is pretty ridiculous and unethical. In essence, the sports network showed support for a certain player (when in fact they're supposed to remain unbiased), and LeBron gladly took the reigns.Overall, the way LeBron left was classless, and the fact that he went to join two superstars to chase rings makes it far worse.
