ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -Maybe it’s a seismic shift in the NBA landscape. Or it’s just a little wave washing up on South Beach.
Opinions throughout the NBA were mixed Friday on the impact of LeBron James’ decision to spurn the Cleveland Cavaliers and form an All-Star trio with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami.
Some coaches say it makes the Heat instant favorites in the Eastern Conference. Others say it helps teams rise to the top by not having to go through three opponents, each with one of the world’s best players. Some just criticized the attention James has received.
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy says James national television spot “leaves a bad taste in everybody’s mouth.”
The LeBron Effect is already taking shape.
