Lebron leaving the Cavaliers wasn\u2019t cheating. Lebron was just doing what was best for him.\u00a0 Lebron wasn\u2019t having success in Cleveland so he took his career to a place where he is and will most likely continue to be successful: Miami.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The NBA players play for themselves.\u00a0 They play for the money and the fame.\u00a0\u00a0 Ultimately, Lebron leaving the Cavaliers is the best thing that could happen for the NBA as a league and in turn the super teams are ultimately good.\u00a0 Fans want to see the stars playing together, and now they get to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot of the main focus from the media\u00a0regarding the new NBA season is the Los Angeles Lakers because of their new additions: Dwight Howard and Steve Nash.\u00a0 It seems like this is just a repeat of a few years ago when the Miami Heat had just acquired Lebron James and Chris Bosh.\u00a0 These teams [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,6],"tags":[125,124,126],"class_list":["post-3367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-opinion","category-3-sports","tag-basketball","tag-nba","tag-superteam"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
