So as with everyone not from Sunny Florida, “The Decision” by Lebron James infuriated me on a multiple of levels. Thoughts went through my mind at a bajillion miles an hour.

· Are we really watching this?!

· How big is this guy’s ego?

· None of this will matter if he decides to become a Knick

The last point can be said by any fan of any team that had even the slightest chance of winning “The Prize” of “The Decision”. In all honesty - You wouldn’t care about his huge ego, the fact that your team has almost no chance of winning a game against them, or that “Miami Thrice” probably knew that they would end up in Miami and still wasted your time while you read every article on every website.

Hours, No - DAYS were wasted in front of ESPN, MSNFOXSPORTS, SI, and various blogs reading about Lebron's cronies have strategically given to the media about his decision.

Yet through it all, as with life - a silver lining has emerged. A worthy adversary for the NBA has been created. Along with others, my hatred for Lebron and the Heat has easily overtaken my disdain for the Celtics and Lakers. For the first time since the Jordan era, I am hoping a team loses every game. And for the first time ever – I am hoping that a group of the NBA’s elite stars will slowly implode over a season or even two.

Unlike many who wish that Lebron, Wade, or Bosh injure themselves during the season, I am wishing that their health is not the reason for their demise.

I’m excited to watch a potential train wreck between the “Miami Thrice” once they lose a close game or when one hits a game winner that could have been taken by another.

I’m looking forward to watching each team give 110% every time the Heat step on the court.

This has all made the NBA a more interesting sport.

When else has the middle of the MLB season or the start of training camp for the NFL taken a back seat to anything and everything that goes on in the NBA?

When else has the NBA announced its’ primetime games before the rest of the schedule?

When else have the twitter accounts and quotes by anybody related to the NBA meant so much and yet so little?

This should all lead to a more interesting season. A season of good versus evil. A season where vindication for all of our suffering can occur on a nightly basis.
