    The link above is Thursdays basketball game highlights of the Heat vs. Cavs.

    Everyone knows Lebron left the cavs to create the anticipated trio and the top championship contenders, but his disappointed cleveland fans boo'd him the entire game. When I was watching the game I thought about sports and society, how the people reacted and how the players reacted to Lebron's return. The video clearly exemplifies the fans feelings, but if you did not see the game, Lebron's former teammates were laughing and joking around with him while he was scoring his season high 38 points. The cavs did give 100%, but it was not enough to compete with Wade and Bosh's points.

    Despite the trio (Lebron, Wade, Bosh) I strongly believe they still don't have what it takes to win the championship.

    Kobe !
