3. I think a lot of the outrage over the way he left Cleveland was mostly jealousy

As a basketball fan I was excited. I saw it coming the day before the announcement when Wade & Bosh signed with Miami and Wade was interviewed by ESPNews and he was talking about taking pay cuts & championships. I don't see what he did as much different than leaking the move to the media. Lebron left Miami because they were aging & Cleveland made good draft picks & with the trade for Kevin Love it made sense to go back to Cleveland. The biggest problem I have is he promised 6 championships in Miami and didn't stay to try to win them. Then when he signed with Cleveland he said he would finish his career there.

His move to LA seemed to be influenced by a career in the entertainment industry & he said it was difficult to recruit players to Cleveland.
