Heat Training Camp Heating Up

This summer when Lebron James left Cleveland to join two all-stars in Miami, he instantly became one of the most hated basketball players. Lebron went from the King of Ohio to just a side kick with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. I don't think that its right for retired players such as Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan to go on air and disrespect Lebron the way they did. He can make his own choices and in my opinion was very unselfish. Instead of staying to be the team leader and earning more money, he will share duties and take less money. I don't see why fans and critics would hate him for that. He thought that would be his best possible way to win a championship and he viewed Cleveland as a contender, but he feels like its almost guarenteed now. Chris Bosh left to join Miami also and you never hear his name negatively even though he did the same thing as Lebron. If I were Lebron, I would keep my mouth shut and not talk to the press about anything, but the season ahead. There was no need to blame "race" for how he has been treated by the fans and media. He just needs to let his game do the talking and start rebuilding his name, even though in my opinion is tarnished.

New York Jets

What are some opinions on the Jets?? With all of the hype in the offseason it sounded like they were one of the best teams in the league. They brought in a couple great veterans to get better, but I don't see any changes. Yes, on paper their team looks good, but i don't think they will win their division. I think the Patriots will still take the division and the Jets might possibly fight for a wild card. It seems like the Jets turned more into a show than a football team. With Rex Ryan, Darrelle Revis, Santanio Holmes, and Braylon Edwards, the team just can't stay out of trouble. To add to their extremely confidence, the television show "Hard Knocks" does not help their image. I think the 2010 Jets are a fluke and deserve no consideration as one of the best teams in the league.
