King without a throne.

As the NBA season approaches all I've been hearing is how great the new "Big Three" are going to be in Miami. The primary reason for this has to do with the acquisition of Lebron James.

Has anyone stopped to ask why? What has Lebron ever accomplished to deserve such a frenzy? The answer is absolutely nothing. The last major championship Lebron ever won was a high school state and national championship way back in 2003.

I do recognize the fact that Lebron is an amazing talent and he has the ability to be a once in a lifetime player, but just because he has the skills to be great doesn't mean he will be. I don't blame Lebron for making his "decision" this summer and I don't even blame him for the hype that surrounds him, I blame the media, and the fans,including myself.

Lebron has been compared to Jordan from the first time he showed up on national TV as a high school kid dominating his peers. In reality Lebron prefers to be Scotty Pippen and not Jordan. We were the ones who saw his talent and just assumed that he wanted to be everything we wanted. So in short don't believe the hype but don't blame Lebron for it either.

Not a real king
