Shabazz “LeBron’s Birthday Present” Napier is on the Magic now? Okay. I guess I kind of knew he wasn’t on the Heat anymore. Why would he be, since he failed in what was his only task: keeping LeBron in Miami.
That kind of failure doesn’t wash off easily. Imagine being known as “the dude who wasn’t good enough to keep his team’s superstar from going back to his first team and to the city that loved him the most”. Horrible. He could become the next Magic and it still wouldn’t be enough. His legacy as an NBA player was already written before his rookie season even started.
22 points is great. But will it be enough to have LeBron reconsider his decision? Doubtful.
