I love it when the best professional athletes say they are going to a team because it gives them the best chance to win.
What do you think Miami's chances of winning were BEFORE Lebron James said he'd play there? Now, look at their chances now. The fact is that players like James are the reason teams have a 'better chance' to win. If he stayed in Cleveland, they would have a better chance at winning than what they do now. Sure, playing alongside Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh make Lebron and the Heat odds on favorites to win the East next year; but none of these three want the pressure of leading a team alone; so as they say....there is strength in numbers.
I know guys like James don't give a hoot about the fans; but as a fan I much more appreciate a team that wins because they grow as a team and aren't some artificial creation (see New York Yankees).
Teams like the Chicago Blackhawks, Philadelphia Phillies, and New Orleans Saints are teams that maybe added free agent superstars, but there were some natural ingredients there as well.
I just saw some Cleveland fans burning a James jersey on TV. Get a life.
