No. I'd be shocked if it happened. I can see Bosh and Wade there for 6 years. At some point though, and I'm not saying it's going to be acrimonius, Lebron is outta there.....6 years of sharing the ball at the level he'll be sharing is a long time. He and Wade both might get tired of it. He'll get the urge to carry a team and be the ONE.
I disagree. LeBron came into this league with comparisons to Magic Johnson. They started him at Point guard for several games during his rookie season, but he wasn't ready for it. His "incredible" passing was supposed to make him a more athletic and strong Magic... but somewhere along the line his passing took a step back to him leaning more on hitting long jumpers, powering to the hole and scoring 30 a night. That might have something to do with the crap he had surrounding him.
Somewhere along the line, guys like Bill Simmons stated their disappointment that LeBron wasn't embracing his otherworldly passing ability to his fullest.
I think we could see a totally different player in Miami. I think he might finally live up to his Magic Johnson potential... I would not be shocked to see Wade average 26, Bosh average 20... while LeBron averages 19 points and 13 assists. And I think Miami will absolutely flourish. It depends on how they want to run their offense. But if Bron embraces his other gifts... it's going to be beautiful.
I saw some clips of Wade, Bron and Bosh sharing the ball in the Olympics... whipping the ball back and forth... that team has the potential to be incredible.
I think you are underrating LeBron's passing on Cleveland. He still was a great passer, especially considering who he has to pass to, mostly spot up shooters. Also consider the terrible, terrible offensive sets of Mike Brown, who's attempts at using LeBron at point ammounted to letting him iso and seeing what happens.
That being said, I agree he will be much better on Miami passing the ball. I see a lot more alleys and passing to finishers for him, also expect a devestating pick and roll with LeBron and Bosh and even Wade open or cutting the rim off the ball side. And with Bosh, LeBron, and Wade demanding double team attention there will be open shooters or cutters all over the floor.
It's funny people talk about LeBron losing his legacy and possibilities for his career... with his ability to pass and the attention he and the other two stars demand he will have huge assist numbers. Does Rondo get no credit simply because he doesn't score as much? No, he has great assist numbers and fills up the stat sheet. LeBron may become, like you say, more of a Magic Johnson. No one discredits Magic because he passed to Kareem or Worthy, nor should they.
I think LeBron will average more than 20 and probably 12 ast + and 10 reb + as well.
