The King is vulnerable. LeBron James is feeling pain after his decision to play for Miami was broadcast live on ESPN. He’s long been the best chance for a championship in Cleveland. They were suppose to win a few with James as the center piece. It didn’t happen and he was heavily criticized for the way he chose to announce his signing with the Miami Heat.

In response to his critics, James took to Twitter to re-tweet some of the hurtful and racist things being said about him. He responds like any other high profile athlete, by stating the words don’t phase him. He’s ready to play this season. He can say one thing for the media, but the knowledgeable fan understands negative feedback is a great motivator. He’s going to hide his true feelings from the fans. He wants to prove detractors wrong. It’s human nature.

The Miami Heat come into the season with the loftiest expectations since the Jordan Era. Can three of the top players in the NBA team up to win a championship? There’s a thousand similar questions surrounding the Heat entering the season. Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh proved to be great supporters on the court during the 2008 Olympic run. The three haven’t spent a lot of time on the court during the preseason. James is the one that should help the team win the championship for himself and Bosh. James doesn’t really need extra motivation, but the hate and anger from Twitter can certainly help fuel the fire of his first championship.
