I think he made a good decision and we Heat fans are happy to have him! Next year, they will be favored to return to the Finals...IF we have a next year. But I am leaning that we will.

It's kinda ironic that a thread marking the anniversary of one of the most post-inducing topics ever here in the Sports forum is deemed boring, yet self-congratulation threads boasting about posting milestones are celebrated....:o

This was one of most successful NBA season that they have had in a VERY long time. Most due to all the player moves and the move LBJ made to Miami. ALL rating were up. For the NBA not to feed off of that and blow half a season would be ridicuously stupid... on both the players and the owners part.

The same could be said regarding the NFL ratings and popularity, but they went ahead with their labor issues also....

Most "successful" how? There was interest to see LeBron fail last year. Everyone except those in South Beach are against him. No one cares anymore. It's an old subject. I expect the ratings to sag this year. (or whenever they resume play).

ALL of the NBA's rating were up for the 1st time in a very long time. From TV ratings to percentage increase in how many times the NBA.com website was hit. Please do not let your hatred blind you from facts. Whether you hated him or not, wanted to see him fail or not, people watched more than the last 5 or more season.

Try reading the links on occassion, it's quite interesting. Regardless of your hate....;)

Here's a little snippet of what was going on BEFORE the NBA Finals...

The Eastern Conference finals just enjoyed ratings and viewership records for cable TV on TNT, according to Nielsen.com. Meanwhile, the ratings for this year's playoffs on ESPN were up 8 percent over last season, and were the most-viewed in ESPN history. Not only was regular-season viewership of NBA games up 45 percent over the previous season, it was up 30 percent over 1995-96, when folks were obsessed over Michael Jordan leading the Chicago Bulls to a 72-win season.

And television isn't the only place where increased interest in the NBA is reflected. NBA.com reports that page views are up 40 percent over last season, video streams are up 130 percent and NBA mobile downloads are up 75 percent. Traffic to NBA content on ESPN.com has increased dramatically as well, with some categories approaching triple-digit increases. If it's too soon to say the NBA is in the middle of a full-fledged renaissance, at the very least the league has seen a resurgence, probably even an explosion.

The league hasn't enjoyed this kind of wire-to-wire attention since the 1995-96 season, when Jordan, back for his first full season since 1992-93, commanded unprecedented interest. Jordan, of course, also enjoyed unprecedented popularity without villainy.

LeBron James and the Miami Heat have given the NBA an extraordinary boost in interest this season and during the playoffs. - ESPN
