Kenyon Martin Called LeBron’s Miami Run a Failure—2 Rings Say Otherwise

Kenyon Martin says LeBron James’ four-year run with the Miami Heat was a failure because they only won two championships. But how does winning back-to-back NBA titles, four straight Eastern Conference championships and reaching four consecutive NBA Finals qualify as failure? LeBron completed his contract with Cleveland and entered free agency. He did not force a trade, refuse to play or abandon the Cavaliers in the middle of a deal. Yet critics still describe his decision to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh as “jumping ship” while rarely directing the same criticism toward Wade, Bosh, Kevin Garnett or other stars who joined talented teams. We also challenge the myth that LeBron personally handpicked every player on Miami’s roster. Pat Riley, Erik Spoelstra and the Miami Heat organization were responsible for constructing and coaching that team. The biggest question is simple: Why are LeBron’s accomplishments, statistics and championships constantly turned into arguments against him?
