Why Lebron James made the right "Decision"

Today at work, my coworkers and I were discussing the always entertaining topic of Lebron James. They claimed that LBJ joining the Miami Heat with Dwayne Wade was a copout and that LBJ could no longer be viewed as "the man". LBJ, according to them, is now Scottie Pippen to Wade's Jordan. In many ways I agree with them that Lebron is playing Robin to Wade's Batman, but I do not believe that that decision is the wrong decision.

In Cleveland Lebron tried desperately to win a championship. He played incredibly and was the best basketball player in league but was unsuccessful in trying to, by himself, bring the Cavaliers a championship. Lebron was sick of losing, why stay with a terrible franchise and an owner and general manager who have no idea how to put a championship team together.

On July 8th Lebron James became a free agent. Now for the first time instead of hoping and wishing that the Cleveland Cavaliers would put together a championship team Lebron looked for a better option. That option was join Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami and play under one of the smartest people in basketball at putting together championship teams Pat Riley.

Here's the question I pose to anyway who thinks that Lebron James took the easy way out by going to the Heat to play with Dwayne Wade. What is the difference between having a championship team built around you and going to build yourself a championship team somewhere else?
