It matters not that we got all three.  The Lakers are the cream of the crop, and Kobe Bryant is the greatest player in the game, not Lebron.

why can LBJ bring d wade and c bosh to cleveland if he really want to win a championship with cavaliers seem to like wade like his town better than LBJ does

I am a Lakers fan but the move lebron james made wasn't smart because what you left behind loyal fans, money,kids looked up to you now how do you feel after a move like that lebron that wasn't smart I know it is about business but the dream of a legend is over because Cleveland Cavs was your team and you gave it up for a chance at a ring face it your not Kobe Bryant don't hate! Kobe is the best of all time since Michael Jordan I no it hurt's to see my boy Kobe Bryant win Championships that's because he stuck it out with his team and didn't leave and then help came for him and now look he has five rings and he will do it again next year it doesn't matter that your with the Miami Heat that's D-Wade's team your just there to help along with Chris Bosh you left your team in Cleveland! your no longer known as king james to me just a wanta be Kobe Bryant Miami will make the playoff's but a ring Lebron keep dreaming dude your a fluke you left behind every thing your team fan's remember the Cavs signed you out of high school to bring spirit back to Cleveland and it was for nothing you did a lot for the Cavs and you achieved a lot but that's your home dude you just quit trying because you didn't get a ring but that's when you call for more help better player's you just quit and gave up did Kobe Bryant do that No! he called for help he got it and as a result he now has 5 championship rings and you made Michael Jordan and his number look really bad even he stayed with the bull's after losing to Detroit Piston's 3 time's in the conference Final's but he won 6 title's straight titles after that with the same team the bull's hey good luck in Miami but that was a real bad mistake.

It's going to be a great season, the chemistry with the Lakers right now is exceptional, this is Phil's last year as a Coach not to mention in my opinion the Greatest Coach in NBA history, with this in mind the Lakers will fight for a 3rd Championship and close the book with a perfect 3-Peat.

Go Lakers!!!

Stupid people don't win Championships. Heartless people don't win Championships. I couldn't care less where anyone goes to ply their skill. I do know this after watching a player for five years.....I know if they play with their head and I know if they play with their heart. He does neither. You can't name a Champion at anything, who doesn't know what it takes to win and who has ever taken a game "off". Personally I am disgusted at the entire Circus all professional sports has become.

It's OK that Kobe has Critics; MJ did as well. Thing is...Do the Right Thing; Kobe DID! Lebron?? It's an inspiration to see Kobe & LA still maturing; that's head and heart; LA was a bit challenged this year, even by OK; but this challange just inspires champions to rise to the occasion, which makes great basketball; which the Lakers accomplished!

Lebron's just not there; 'Championship' is inside you; not where you play, how much money, or who you play with; I think every fan knows this in their heart; we're coming to be inspired to see out of the Box; out of Mind capabilities; playing beyond one's normal capacities; it's ultimately not even about winning or losing; Kobe has actually lost some things; mostly his ego; but he's inspiring 'TEAM' Play and that's winning Games and winning Fans and winning History.

Kobe's just now really learning the game and he has a good zen master to guide him. This is what makes Sports, especially Pro-Sports inspiring. Play with Selfless Abandon, with all your heart out of space, out of time, out of mind; just play it like there's no tomorrow and everyone will walk away feeling good about themselves...

Touche'

LBJ CB4 DWADE.....does anyone see TEAM in these letters??????Good luck guys but without decent role players and a bench the Heat wont be going far anytime soon.With all the hype and media overplay(ESPN) if Miami does not win a championship this year this move will be labeled a failure only because of the way his move was handled. Cleveland's owner will not let them live it down no matter how many they win in the years to come. Loyalty no longer has aplace in today's society...it's all about the benjamins and don't let any fool tell you otherwise.

Now everybody is a hater because Lebron decided to do what is best for him in terms of money and opportunity for a championship. Now everybody thinks that he is a looser because he wanted to play with D-Wade and C-Bosh? because he cant do it alone. For all those commentators out there what did you have to say when Koby had that All Start caliber team (yes, the starters were All Start players at one point)when he won his first 3 championship? Did any body said anything when shaq-Kobe-malone-payton-horry team was in place?

I don't really care who wins, but It sure makes Kobe look alot better, even with the rape charge and marital infidelities. For what is worth, this is what the problem is with professional sports. The superstars are typically mental midgets that are worshiped because they can perform a skill better than most. Can they cure cancer? no. Can they help children become productive adults? no. Can they live a respectabe life? not too many. These superstars are little more than genetic lottery winners. Don't worship them any more than a person that wins the powerball. In the end, they usually piss their money away and have very few real friends once the gravy train is over for the hanger ons. In the sane breath, I wish Dan Gilbert would have taken the high road and let Lebron's actions speak for himself. There is no reason to chase Lebroonze into the gutter. He is obviously not a go to guy when the game is on the line. This is the difference between him and the true greats. It is interesting that Lebronze had the TV special and not the other 2. I would think that is just the beginning of the ego problem they will have in Orlando. LeBronze will always be a third rate "superstar" to me and I look forward to rooting for any team he plays.

LA 4 LIFE !

Mr. Lebron James will need to learn to share the lime-light with D-Wade and Chris Bosh. Like many of us across our country, we enjoyed his work on the court. Why couldn't it just been simple? It Is Miami. We really didn't need the show boating, and the act of a "Poser"? I have nothing but cheers for the Cleveland fans. You fans define the word "Loyalty". Lebron will continue having his fan base but nothing like the fans he had in Cleveland!

As a Suns fan, I hate the Lakers. But barring injury to Kobe or Pau, they will win it all again. They have some things the Heat don't: players around the superstars, they've been there and done that and a factor known as "Kobe" that won't allow the team to lose. Sorry Heat fans, it's fun to dream, but that's all it is.

ps. for a real laugh, watch A'mare and his Knicks try the pick and roll. $100 million to spend the rest of your life looking like a fool on a cr@p team...

Hello Everyone,

Now let's get to business. The dream team in miami looks great. I do believe in years to come they will be like la and win many rings. But for now the biggest hurdle is to get a bench. Not just any but some bench players that can stand the test of time. Superstars will get targeted for fouls and hard defense. The heat are thinking that all of the other teams in the nba have to double team james and wade in order to beat them but that's not true. Man up play some man to man on them like dwight howard. Play them close but leave room to shift. Wade is not as flexible as james he tends to go right more than his left when shooting. James can't take to many hits on his left arm. He has some issues with it that people don't know about.

Over all i think the trio will fall out. The heat is using every dime to sink and catch the big three. It's one thing to play for a short peroid of time on the usa team and another to play 82 games against some real talent. The eastern conference has changed alot over the last two weeks. Teams are resting up and taking care of what they need to as far as injuries to be ready this season. I wish them well in the east this dream team. Please by all means turn up your defense and down dial your fouls because if the two superstars are fouled out can the heat beat any team in the east without them on the floor. Thats when the BENCH of a team speaks without words.

What would the HEAT BENCH be saying ???? how could those min salary players beat not trio stars but other teams...You see I always thought basketball championships were won by teams not trios.....Look at what happened in the last finals ....Sometimes the reffs will call fouls on superstars when they make them and sometimes the superstars do foul out......Who will step out and save the day for the heat?????

But that's the miss in the east. I my self am a lakers fan and hope to see them in the finals. I know the lakers will come from the west. But the east is up in the air if you ask me.... I think it will send a team to play not a trio......

It doesn't matter who Miami gets...the Championship still runs through LA (the Black Mamba, Big Pau and Company)!!!  You better know that!

It doesn't matter who Miami gets...the "Championship" still runs through LA (i.e. the Black Mamba, Big Pau and Company w/ Phil J. calling the shots)!!! You better know that!

it sad people attack lebron more for leaving a team then people did kobe for being a rapist you all are just mad that miami is gonna win it all for the next 6 yrs haha keep hating

There is only one coach in the N.B.A. that could keep those 3 egos in check..and hes sitting on the Lakers bench..Phil Jackson is phenomenal.

To beat the Lakers in a 7 game series, you need size, skilled size. The Heat haven't gotten any bigger, so they'll be much improved, but will not be able to deal with the Lakers in a series IF they even make it out of the East.

CHOKEBEE, 41.6% career in the Finals. No HOF player underperforms as much in the Finals. He is the Lakers best player but damn why does he have to shoot like Charles Oakly in the Finals? 37% vs Pacers, 41% vs Sixers, 38% vs Pistons, 40% twice vs Celts, 43% vs magic. Yes I'm a Kobe hater, but those are facts. Greatest Laker? No chance. All you young kids out here don't have a clue. Great players play great more often than not in the Finals, ask Magic, Kareem, James Worthy. I do give Kobe credit, he has turned into a great leader...
