The Decision was an overhyped move that LeBron himself regretted later. Not that big a deal. He made a mistake turning it into a media circus. Joining Miami was a really good basketball decision. Only a total homer would argue otherwise. Kobe had much more help (Pau, a healthy Bynum, Ariza, Odom) than LeBron and Boston had its big 3 plus Rondo. LeBron had no other all stars on his team, but Kobe and Kevin Garnett had multiple all stars as teammates. LeBron recognized that he needed a real team, and he was willing to take a pay cut to win.
Teaming up with Wade was brilliant. They were the best SG/SF combo since Pippin and Jordan. They went to four finals in a row together, and would've been even better if Wade's health hadn't deteriorated. Every criticism you have of LeBron is an irrational and emotionally childish rant, like saying joining another great player is "a move." How? He knew Wade and Bosh and respected them and they decided to team up. What's wrong with that? Whatever his chances are of winning a le are right now, they're monumentally better than Kobe's, who has shown himself to be one of the most selfish players in NBA history, demanding to be the highest paid player even though he's well past his prime. No one player in recent memory has ever single-handedly guaranteed his team's demise so thoroughly.
