I really expect this:
"Miami gets beaten in the first round of playoffs in the next 3 seasons: by Chicago, the Knicks (where Varejao, Shaq and Stoudamire have formed the Biggest Three) and finally the Nets.
Then, in 2014 as someone said Wade goes to Chicago and wins some rings. Lebron and Bosh are left behind in Miami like old toys. They repeatedly fail to reach the finals, and finally Lebron retires without ever reaching the finals again.
Depressed, alcoholic, bald, Lebron comes back to Cleveland. He watches his fingers, nude of any rings. Then he chops them (Heavy rain style)."
Actually, everyone talks about Lebron having to win all by himself. I expected Wade to win by himself!! I really respect Dwayne, but I wouldn't like him to win with those 2 at his side.
So, it seems that the media focusing on Miami could put too much heat on the franchise and the title contenders will try even harder to beat them. Like it happened to the Madrid galacticos, they can end up in a total defeat. They have nothing to win, because everyone expects them to win. So, even if they accomplish, no one will think they've achieved something. It's a loose.loose situation for Lebron.
I was a fan of Celtics when I was a boy (Larry Bird was playing then), but Gasol being at Lakers shifted my interest there. Understand me, Gasol is my basket idol, I watched him play at Barcelona when he was just a kid, he was already impressive to see live.
I think that makes me a bit like asian football fans, that are fans of players, not clubs. If Beckham goes to Madrid, they suddenly are fans of Madrid. You get my point. It's awkward to feel like that when we have that strong "Club" culture in Europe.
But next year I'll support many teams:
Lakers - Because of the aforementioned presence of Gasol. I know the majoritiy hates them, even I did before, but...
Suns - Nash is a legend. He deserves a ring.
Oklahoma - Durant IS the real King. He will be a legend if he continues to progress as he is doing in Oklahoma.
I guess that makes me a bit of a "Western" guy. Hey, call me John Marston!
