DAILY DOZEN: TO MIAMI, JAMES

In the end, King James decided to be the court jester to Dwyane Wade, rather than be the master of his own domain. It's fitting that LeBron opted to play in Miami, the town that brought us Dan Marino. Both Dan and LeBron have one common characteristic - lots of personal achievements but not good enough to take a team on their back and carry them to a championship.

LeBron, you could have been THE CAVALIER, THE BULL, THE KNICK, THE NET, THE CLIPPER, but you won't be THE HEAT. That title belongs to D WADE.
