We'll see how good his supporting cast was next season. As for Miami, I was watching a team with three stars that played well together DWade, LBJ and Bosh. How did Miami do when LeBron left again? From what I can find they went 37-45 without him. Like I said, I'm not a fanboy I just appreciate pure talent and incredible skill when I see it. I'll never say he was the best ever but he is without a doubt the best of a generation. The stats and the number of titles along with the number of Finals he has been to in a row speaks to just how good he is.

Miami's first championship was a team effort....DWade was their "go to guy" and was absolutelty their best player that year...then his skills faded as LBJ got better....and he did....he's a great player....just not all that. I'd take a Duncan or Durant over LBJ....stats are just part of it....those guys have the hearts of champions....no quit. Lebron forgot to show up for his last game as a Cav...not the first time in his career either. He simply doesn't have the "mental toughness" when it counts...not like those guys and several other champions I've watched over the years....jmo.
