The Miami Heat announces the return of Dwyane Wade, left, and welcomes LeBron James, center, and Chris Bosh on Thursday, July 8, at American Airlines Arena in Miami, Fla.

Agony and ecstasy

While Cleveland begins to erase LeBron James from its collective memory, Miamians have already begun to kneel at the throne of King James. But hey, don't fret Cleveland, doesn't it still does take five guys on the court to win a ballgame, not just one, or even three? You have to wonder if the enormous amount of hype around James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh will eat away at team chemistry considering all of the egos involved.
