Hate is an awfully strong word. Personally, I have a slight distaste for them, but that won't keep me from watching them.

Any hate that is for Lebron and the Heat is the feeling that the city of Cleveland was slighted by him leaving. I wouldn't have cared, if he left my team. It's the way that he left that will always be remembered as a very self centered move.

The Red Hot NBA May Be Going Away - Grantland

The last section is great.

i agree. he "added insult to injury". i know some will debate that it was probably not his idea to do a one-hour show just to announce his decision. but at the end of the day, he had the last say. i highly doubt that a thing like this in mandated by the NBA contract.

i also think it's where he went. he went to an already great team. Wade already has a ring. i remember that when Kobe was battling to the be released from his contract, he wanted to go to the Clippers. not an all-star team and I don't even like Kobe.

that being said though, I like LeBron. I honestly think he has a bigger potential than Kobe had when Kobe was beginning. I just think that no matter what he does now or how hard he works for Heat, there will always be a question in everyone's mind. always. for a great player like him, that's sad.

Great article. I never saw that Heat welcome party before, :laughing:

the article said:
what was he talking about here? just really curious because i don't know. i'd appreciate if someone can shed light. thanks.

oh i found it i found it... thanks anyway.

He's right about that one.

I just saw the welcoming party again and I didn't even know they had a band come on before them. That party was more rocking than the Lakers championship celebration last year.

"Arguably, the best trio to ever play basketball" He didn't say "could be", he didn't say "one day".

Better than Magic, Kareem, Worthy?
Better than Bird, McHale, Parrish?
Better than Jordan, Pippen, Rodman?
Better than Russell, Cousy, Heinsohn?

I don't think so.

and there you go... Dallas
