You can make the argument that Jordan stayed with his team when they were bad, but you can't argue against the good that's come from LeBron leaving Cleveland. I mean James rarely went inside and rarely posted up like he does now. I doubt he would have even DEVELOPED his post game if he had stayed in Cleveland. He'd still probably be taking 10123812083 threes a season and doing idiotic things like that.
Just think about it: He's 6'8", 250 lbs., finishes plays at the rim like Jordan, and handles the ball and runs as well as a point guard. How he was being used and what players the management was surrounding him with were all the wrong things.
Erik Spolestra noticed what the problem was IMMEDIATELY when he got to Miami. What did James do the first two years he was in Miami?
1. He stopped taking 1000 threes a season
2. Posted up more A LOT MORE
3. Went inside A HECK OF A LOT MORE
And what happened? He shoots a higher percentage, scores just as prevalently, and does all of this while playing less minutes than he did at Cleveland. You can argue that maybe he should have stayed with him, but you CAN NOT say that he would be as successful as he is now. I mean come on, his first year in Miami they made the finals, and they weren't swept like the only other time LeBron made a finals appearance in Cleveland.

Second the notion.
