Lebron James, considered by many to be the best basketball player on the planet, decided to sign with the Miami Heat. Along with James, Miami has signed two other top free agents. This makes Miami the favorite to get to the NBA finals for the coming season.
Who cares, right?! The thing that I find interesting is that the competitive spirit seems to be lacking in many athletes today. Players, of such calibre as James, want to win titles the "easy" way by joining with other great players so as to be dominate. This tarnishes the championship and hurts the sport as a whole. I admire a Michael Jordan or Tim Duncan who, as the best player on their teams, won championships by hard work and a drive to win. These players made their teamates better by their contagious desire to win and with leadership.
