That's not what the mentality should be of a superstar or the 'chosen one'. He has no competitive nature and is just taking the easy way out because he's not a real superstar.

Because he wants to win championships now, right.

If you're calling yourself the king, and have tattoos on your back calling yourself the chosen one, you should not be going to joining someone elses team and be the sidekick.

Can't really be the sidekick if you are better than the player who is the superhero.

Well he is now the sidekick.. He joined Dwyane Wade's team, it's his town, his team. Not to mention Wade knows how to win and has a ring, well Bennett Salvatore gave him the ring, but regardless, he still has one.

Just wondering, you think the Heat are LeBron's team? If they aren't then he's the sidekick, no?

They were Wade's team.
But after adding a guy like LeBron to the team they are nobody's team, cause it's not just Wade with scrubs. They have 3 perennial All-Stars. They are MIAMI's team.

I just look at it as D-Wade and Friends. Then the rest of the team fills out the rest. LeBron is the sidekick and we all know it.

Who woulda thought that JJ would want to lead his own team and LeBron wouldn't? LOL

And looking at it they treated the NBA like AAU teams. Where the best players want to play on the same team.

I just don't see how the sidekick can be better than the superhero? LeBron is a better player than Wade.

And that is funny cause LeBron will end up with rings, whereas JJ won't lol.

He's the side kick.

A-Rod's better than Jeter, but who's the leader of the Yankees?
But A-Rod's still the better player & his numbers are significantly tops. If this ends up the same case with Lebron, then he's only the "sidekick" in a figurative manner. Either way, calling Lebron a "sidekick" or a "Robin" just helps some people soften the blow for now.

Better is a matter of opinion. Also depends on what you base it on. I'd rather build a team around Wade than LeBron.

Yes, A-Rod is the significantly better player. The gap between D-Wade and LeBron isn't near the gap between A-Rod and Jeter, but it's the best example I could come up with. A-Rod IS the superior player, but Jeter rules New York. LeBron's superior to Wade, but Wade rules Miami. LeBron's going to always be the sidekick to Wade.
