Much of the North American sporting world spent the middle of this week digesting the most important news since the resurrection of Christ.(or so it seemed). The three big name free agents in the NBA chose a team. Lebron James of Cleveland, Chris Bosh of Toronto and Dwayne Wade have all agreed to sign with the Miami Heat.
Sportswriters (has there ever been a more useless profession?) have been yakking up the airwaves expressing their views of whether Miami can win the NBA Championship.
To the cacophony of voices, I shall add my own.
Miami will NOT win the NBA Championship. Right now its not even clear if they would make the finals. Boston's big three might be as good as Miami's and they have a better supporting cast. The LA Lakers had a big four when Karl Malone and Gary Payton joined Shaquille Oneal and Kobe Bryant in LA 8 years ago. They did not win.
The Miami Heat have instantly become the most hated team in the NBA with their arrogance and predictions of championships. Still it is a team game and their egos will clash and they will be knocked out by a team with fewer stars who play as a team.
