When it comes to the Lebron James and Chris Bosh joining the Miami Heat discussion, you either love it or hate it. Some NBA legends have come out and let it be known how they feel about it, with even the great Michael Jordan criticizing the motives of the move. Most of the old heads are saying it is not about just winning a championship, but its about winning a championship for YOUR team.

When asked about the move and if he would have done the same thing Magic Johnson had this to say:
“We didn’t think about it cause that’s not what we were about,” said Johnson, whose Michigan State squad beat Bird’s Indiana State team in the 1979 National Collegiate Athletic Association championship. “From college, I was trying to figure out how to beat Larry Bird.”

Boston Celtics Legend Larry Bird also said that he would never join his rivals, but only try to defeat them for his team’s glory.

“There is no way I would have joined magic or michael and play with them. The only time i ever wanted to play with magic was on the olympic team, and even then our practices were hard, and we beat each other up in practice. So no way magic would have ever played for celtics, or me going to Los Angeles. It hurts even thinking about me being in that yellow jersey”

Lebron and Bosh have not responded to any of their critics of this move so far and are currently training down in Miami for what most seem to predict to be a championship year.
