The bandwagon of criticizing LeBron's recent decision to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh just added the biggest member yet; Magic Johnson.
Magic said in a story done by the Bloomberg News that he would have never joined Larry Bird back in his day. He went on to basically say he wanted to beat Bird, much like LeBron should be figuring out a way to beat the other NBA superstars like Wade.
This is a tricky subject here. On one hand Magic looks a little bias to his Lakers and the fact that he chose to enter the draft to get the chance to play with Kareem Abdul-Jabar. However, that situation doesn't compare to LeBron's situation because Magic was a rookie at the time with no NBA experience.
Of course any rookie is going to jump at the opportunity to play with an NBA superstar. It's completely different from playing in the league for seven years and realizing you can't win on your own, so you decide to take the "easy" way out.
You can't fault LeBron too much because the cornerstone of being considered the greatest has become based on winning championships rather than personal achievements.
With the giant ego that LeBron has it would be dumb to think that LeBron is doing this for anything other than one day being known as the best ever to play the game.
I do believe that LeBron made the wrong decision by choosing Miami over Chicago. The Bulls are a more complete team and it would be considered LeBron's team from day one.
It's Dwyane Wade's team in Miami no matter how great LeBron thinks he is. LeBron and Bosh are the two sidekicks and Wade is the king.
