Unproven Stars
While it was almost the “best” decision for LeBron James to leave Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for Kyrie Irving and, theoretically, Kevin Love on paper, it wasn’t the smart basketball decision.
While the latter names are sexy, and hot right now. LeBron knew prior to making his decision that he was going to play alongside unproven commodities in the NBA.
He shouldn’t be surprised with what has happened thus far this year.
Those bad habits, yeah.
Giving up on games? Yes.
LeBron knew all that. He still decided to sign in Cleveland.
The 2010 Heat were the exact opposite of what LeBron signed to play with this season. Dwayne Wade was an NBA champion and Chris Bosh had at least led his team to the playoffs — something that Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love have failed to do during their young NBA careers.
