But yeah I don't fault LeBron as much as I do Durant. Durant's move was cowardly IMO.

Thing about lebrons first run with Cleveland is they couldn't recruit in his later years. Because free agents weren't sure if lebron was committed. So they pulled a bunch of useless scrubs like Shaq, Ben Wallace in the later years.
I also have said this many times... It was a few games into the heats second final where he developed something he hadn't had before. Maturity. The heat showboating in the Dallas series only to lose was a wakeup call and a turning point in lebrons career.
