Stop the Hate

Seriously. I admit the LeBron James "Decision" Special was awkward and unnecessary. He could have done an interview for ESPN just like Wade and Bosh did the day before. But that is not why people are angry. If he had stayed in Cleveland, nobody would complain. If he had gone to New York, everyone would be hating on the Knicks, but perhaps not as much. People hate the trio.

Nobody wants to acknowledge that the Miami Heat is a force to be reckoned with in the NBA. Even when we won the Championship people had something negative to say. "Our Championship is not worth as much as the Lakers 2010 Championship." Bullshit.

Dan Gilbert's letter was embarrassing, coming from an NBA owner. Not even Mark Cuban would have the nerve to say those things, or even guarantee stuff that is obviously not going to happen. And I'm not saying Miami is guaranteed to win now, but I know Cleveland will definitely not win anything. They could not win anything with a player that averaged 30 points and pretty much a triple-double over 7 seasons. They had chances to surround him with talent and never did. Is it really so shocking that he was ready to move on?

Yes, LeBron's publicity team screwed up. He did not handle this the way he should have, but then again everything about this situation was unprecedented. People make mistakes. Truth is that his legacy was not ruined. People will remember that he left, but if he starts winning Championships in Miami nobody will care. His image, endorsements, revenue will not be damaged. He will be bigger than ever. And he now has teammates that can help him achieve what he could not in Cleveland. It will be tough, but he already has a better team around him, even considering Miami has lots of holes to fill. 

I hope people get over it and start thinking about how much fun this team will be to watch. At the end of the day, we all want to win but we also want to watch great basketball. The Heat will definitely be putting on a show come November, and hopefully it will last until June.

I agree with you. People hate the trio. They want to believe that Pat Riley's masterful plan will not work. Don't need to mention the rest, though.

Of course everybod is angry at us, just in the beggining of the summer the Heat transformed from a regular playoff team into the biggest contender in the League. It's the same thing that happened in Boston a few years ago, I started to hate the Boston Celtics even more because they suddenly became title contenders. It is natural, if its not your team that is becoming stronger, you get mad and that is what is happening with the Heat.
I can't wait to watch this new Heat playing. As a big fan of Allen Iverson i wish he would make an effort to get a lower salary than his usual salaries so that he can fit the cap room and then he can get a ring for himself. Playing with such talented players, Allen Iverson will probably change his kind of game playing more as a dishing PG then as a scoring SG.
Pat Raley is a genious!!!GO HEAT!!
