[QUOTE=giacomo]Russell was a center, so it's hard to compare them (it's hard to compare anybody to Russell).


Russell had an all-NBA team running with him.

I'm not trying to compare the players I mentioned earlier. It's that those players were able to win consistently and ultimately win championships. Maybe they had better supporting casts, maybe not. My point is this: if you're in LeBron's head and you think you're the best player on the planet, then you had enough to win a championship. One step further is if you grew up in an area like Cleveland, which is STARVING for a championship, you stay around and finish the job. What could be sweeter than winning a championship in and for your home town? Not to mention that you can make the most money by staying put. IF you have the confidence in your ability to get it done and can handle the pressure.

I believe his decision to leave has him admitting he can't get it done and can't handle the pressure. Which is okay. I think this move changes the way people will look at him, no matter how many titles Miami might win. It's not easy being "the guy". He just doesn't have it in that way, although he will fill a stat sheet.
