LeBron needs Dwyane to win the NBA

I’m Tired of seeing the same teams win. But I am happy to see that LeBron James is thinking of moving to a different team. My suggestion for him is the Miami Heat – Miami has a great climate year-round, a great atmosphere, a fun lifestyle and also a great basketball team. I keep saying the only way LeBron James can win a NBA final trophy is to build a better team around him. With the likes of Dwyane Wade and John Wall (the new kid on the block from the UK), that’s possible.

Why do I say this? Assessing the situation and comparing the Lakers and Celtics, they have both been dominating the entire game all around. These 2 teams have so many star players on their teams – they are a force to reckon with. They help each other and they stay focused all the time and they have each player playing a precise role. These teams will continue to dominate the game each year - unless Dwyane Wade, LeBron James or Steve Nash figure out that the only way to win against these guys is to join forces this summer (since some of them will be free agent).

You may disagree or agree with the fact that LeBron needs the best to ever dream of winning in the NBA. An example is Ron Artest joining forces with his long time enemy, Kobe Bryant, to do something that no one has ever done in these games. Luckily for Ron Artest, he is 2-3 games closer in his first NBA trophy. This is a smart move for him since he mentioned that he needed to win something, however in order to win, he has to be on a team with a winning mentality - even if he has to partnership with Bryant. Even the bible says to love your enemy as yourself. You do not know when you may go to your enemy for help-so keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.

Sometimes this really works. A similar role is soccer. The UK soccer team, Chelsea, bought all the best players and they won several trophy. Critics will bring up that Chelsea did not win the Champions League, but Champions League or not, they still won something. Another example is Real Madrid; during the times of Roberto Carlos (Zinedine’s days), they brought in super stars, everyone questioned their actions, but they ended up dominating the game for years and even won the Champions League easily.

So tell me if LeBron James can not have the best players around him. You can say they are totally different players and there will be a lot of commotion between too many stars, but even the Celtics did that. A perfect coach knows how to adopt a play and a position for a game and their team.

I always come back to soccer. Read a little about one of the best coaches, Jose Mourinho. He knows how to handle the most egotistical players around. That should answer any debate you might have with this issue. I believe super stars can compromise and stay together, but only if they want to win. How much does LeBron James want the NBA trophy? More than the MVPs?

The only way LeBron will ever get passed the negativity and questions about his decision to leave Cleveland is for him to win in Miami. I think LeBron is as motivated as ever to win because he has everything to lose and he wants to silence the negativity. Look for Miami to play some tough basketball next season.
