Last week the NBA world was shocked as LeBron James decided to sign with the Miami Heat.
After 7 seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the 25 year old James decided to join forces with fellow 2008 Olympians Dwayne Wade & Chris Bosh who also decided to sign with the Miami Heat.
The Miami Heat has won the NBA Championship back in 2006, but has struggled during the past couple of years. That all changed last week when 3 of the best players in the NBA has committed to multiple year contracts with the organization.
Cleveland is of course devastated not only losing its best chance in winning a championship for the city, but it was its native son who decided to seek greener pastures elsewhere. The Cleveland Cavaliers was in the NBA Finals in 2007 but failed to win a championship. Furthermore, the Cavaliers has done poorly in the playoffs after 2007 possibly promulgating & eventually convincing LeBron to leave.
The man responsible for the rejuvenated Miami Heat team is probably Pat Riley who won 5 championships with the Lakers in the 1980s as a coach and another championship with Miami in 2006. The Miami Heat are now once again considered instant contenders for future NBA championships.
