The article really has nothing to do with the Heat and very little to do with he NBA. The article is about the state of youth basketball in America. He's saying that kids today are taught to play for the scholarship, not the skills and that they lack skills and killer instinct.

I'm not involved in youth basketball enough to know if he's right, but I know it's a problem in American soccer too.

The article was published a few days ago before Lebron tied the record. Lebron is getting to the point as an athlete where he is moving into legend status. No one can take that from him if he keeps it up.
