Lebron James rules Madison Square Garden on December 17, 2010

I knew it all along. Lebron James came to the right franchise. You want to be treated like a king, you got the treatment you wanted when you "brought your talents to South Beach." Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra knew what they were doing when they recruited King James to the Miami Heat. They needed a player whom they knew they could surrender their marketing and coaching skills to. The Heat organization gave Lebron James the structure they needed. LBJ was the franchise player Riley and Spoelstra could turn to for helping the Heat back on track. He was going to have things his way, just the way Lebron James wants things to be. He was never meant to be a disciplinarian, never one to take orders or bark orders at teammates. That was not utilizing Lebron James' talents when he was with Cleveland. Under former Cavs coach Mike Brown, James played under control throughout much of Brown's coaching methods. He never broke free of himself when he was a Cavalier. If Lebron James went to New York and play for the Knicks, he would never do the things he is doing now in Miami. New York would be like Cleveland, too controlling of Lebron James' interests and talents. If LBJ played in Chicago with Derrick Rose, he wouldn't like the idea of letting Derrick Rose manning the team. It would be an unlikely tandem with Rose and James. To best utilize a player of Lebron's talents, you need to unleash him and let him roam where he wants to go. Give him Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade room to operate and King James will roam where he will rule the universe. What happened on December 17, 2010 was a day of infamy for the NBA. Lebron James had 32 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. This is who Lebron James is. This is why he was meant to play basketball. This is what you call utilizing Lebron James' talents. The Miami Heat organization was willing to let King James take reign of the team headquarters along with his teammates like James Jones, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Joel Anthony, Erick Dampier, Jamaal Magloire, and Juwan Howard aside on King James' wings. James will also best operate when Wade and Bosh defer to him. Wade knows his best friend too well that Lebron needs a strong ship to man as long as Dwyane knows what is best for his teammate. This is why Wade needed Bosh and James to join him in Miami in the summer. If anything, James' indication and presence of mind in Madison Square Garden was a foresight that this is Lebron's time to shine. Being a member of the Miami Heat and in control of the game, his talents blending in with the game's biggest stars on the biggest stage of them all, in New York City. His 32 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds says it all.
