I just reported on my show that LeBron James is heading to S. Beach -- with Chris Bosh -- to team with Dwayne Wade and Pat Riley. Here's the

He's being dead serious on Fox Sports Radio, says that a highly reliable source has informed him about this.

This just sounds like a publicity stunt. They are getting tons of new listeners at the moment.

Special thanks to the Knicks board for this:

-I've done my due diligence and spoken to 19 people to be exact. I've spoken to reliable people in both New York and Cleveland. I expect him to sign early next week

-Earlier last year I've reported that Lebron is going to the Knicks. The Knicks had the inside track on him. Dolan is well connected to people on Wall Street and he could have made Lebron more of a global icon

-Huge mistake is letting go of Isiah. One thing you can't deny about Isiah is his ability to recruit. A lot of people will point to his failure with the CBA and his failure with the New York Knicks, but he is very well respected by the players around the league. You can't deny his recruiting ability. I'm not saying that they would have gotten Lebron James, but the chances would have been better.

- I've said all of that to say this. First of all, the Los Angelas Clippers were never in the mix. They're cursed and have a horrible owner. The Clippers weren't in the mix at any point.

- It comes down to Lebron picking between the Miami Heat and Cleveland. I've spoken to my sources in Cleveland and New York and I've known 1 guy for 15 years that have never given me false information. You're only as good as your sources. Lebron James is going to play with Dwyane Wade in South Beach. Chris Bosh and Lebron James are going to Miami Heat. Its not official, but I'm telling you Lebron is going to the Miami Heat.

- Amare Stoudemire want to go to the Miami Heat, but the Heat don't want him as much as they want Bosh.

-Knicks aren't on the list because Walsh is getting old. There is no telling how much longer he would be around. I'm not talking about death or anything of that sort, but as for being around the team. His future is in doubt because he is older

-Another reason why the Knicks aren't on the list is Mike D'Antoni. From talking to players in Phoenix, D'Antoni doesn't mention defense 5 times a year. Every answer for D'Antoni is offense. They can give up 60 points and the answer will still be offense.

If it's true, I hope the fans in Miami are happy. One thing that I've started to think about is how this is both a good and a bad thing for the NBA. One thing that makes the NFL so great is the parity. If you have 2 top 3 players, and 1 top 15ish player all collaborate so that their contract expires at the same time, and all team up, I don't see how that can be good for the league as a whole. I fully expect to get told I'm mad and / or whining, but I don't see how that's fair for the 25 teams that built their franchises the traditional way while a few big market east coast teams get to play routlette and decides who wins all of the titles for the next 5 years or so. Oh well

I hate that idea too.

It just seems like a p*ssy move to make. If they really think they are that great, they should be able to lead a team to the championship by themselves. To me it makes or worse. Boring. I hope it doesn't happen.

I don't get the big deal. Sure they are great players. But basketball is a team sport. they will have crappy role players filling out the rest of the squad. They cannot play 48mpg each They will have to get thier chemistry just right and agree on what they are trying to achieve and how. 2 former #1 option guys are going to have to learn to be 2nd and 3rd options, likely going from 19-23ish shots per game to something more like 12. They have to do this and not complain about it. The coach would have to work out how to get enough balls for 2 ball dominant scorers, and still pound it inside enough to stop Bosh crying. Seriously its still 5 on 5. There is still only one ball. They wont score 150points a game. I mean all this "i would stop watching basketball''' is just silly. I say bring it on. Lets see if it can work, let see them take o the Lake show

Kobe V Wade
LBJ V Artest
Gasol V Bosh
Bynum v ???

or hell even for my Thunder I welcome the challenge.

Durant V LBJ
Wade V Sefalosha or maybe Westbrook
Ibaka on Bosh
etc etc etc
