Miami Heat

I know why Chris Bosh and Lebron James left their respective teams to join Dwyane Wade in Miami. In my opinion, their talents and skills were not meant to be leadership quality in Toronto and Cleveland. Their personality and versatility on and off the basketball court did not allow Bosh and James to be captains of their basketball team. They played well, I will give you that, but their ability to make clutch shots at the end of basketball games were not grand enough to call them superstars or give them the right to make Jordan-esque plays. I think that joining Wade in Miami will give James and Bosh a chance to become the supporting cast and it would be best to let Dwyane be the man or the superstar on the Heat team. In Bosh's and James' interest, it would be great to score, pass, rebound, and play defense as the second bananas to Dwyane Wade being Batman as Wade will make most of his opportunities taking control of the offense. If I can say anything about Wade being the leader of the Heat team, he needs to pace himself so he doesn't burn himself out like he does when he flies through the air and takes bumps and hits and tumbles to the floor. He needs to take a lesson from Kevin Durant, Larry Bird, and Michael Jordan. What Durant, Bird, and Jordan had in common was that they were willing to take shots when they saw opportunities and take what the defense gave them. Wade doesn't do that. He forces his offense through to the defense when he tries to initiate what the defense gives him. The Heat will play well as a team if they build chemistry and cohesion quickly in training camp. No egos allowed for this team. If anything happens to this team, one little bump in the road towards the NBA title, watch out for explosions.
