LeBron Took The Easy Way Out

Sorry I haven't posted in the past week, I've been with minimal to no internet while on vacation.

So on Thursday, the spectacle known as LeBron James' free agency came to a close. After 30 minutes of useless analysis from anchors I'm tired of seeing, LeBron finally announced the team he will play for next season
The Miami Heat
Yes, the "worst-case scenario" came true. Wade, Bosh, and James are on a team that will most likely be filled by fans from the stands, based on the amount of cap room the Heat have. LeBron will most likely win a championship in the next 2 years with a team like that. But the whole free agency isn't my problem.
It's LeBron James and his selfishness and massive ego.
In the semifinals of the Eastern Conference this year, LeBron and his Cavaliers were up 2-1 in the series with the Celtics. In game 4, LeBron pulled a move that made realize who LeBron truly is. Rather than continuing to win games in a series I believed they would get through quickly, LeBron decided to "take a break" in Game 4. His team lost. Badly. At this point in the series, the Celtics gained a sort of advantage, and eliminated the Cavs 4-2 on their way to the Finals. LeBron's wish of winning a title was in his hands this year. I believe that the Cavs would have won the Eastern Conference, and may have beaten the Lakers in the Finals.
He threw it away because of his selfish nature.
So LeBron, you may get your title in Miami, don't worry, but you took the easy, pansy route. Rather than try your hardest with the Cavs, you will most likely
half-ass in Miami, but with real, TALENTED, and much better players in Wade and Bosh, you'll get your ring. But it will come with a price. No one will think
of you being the hero of the team, but rather the player that took the easy way out of his own team
