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.

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.

the article said:

Dwyane Wade's "Eff You" 3:7 We're one Dallas win away from that becoming an iconic "don't count your chickens before they hatch" sports moment. You can't do that crap unless you know, with absolute certainty, that the series is over. For instance, Larry Legend iced the '86 Rockets in Game 6 by grabbing a loose ball with the shot clock winding down, dribbling through three people just so he could plant himself in front of Houston's bench, then draining a 3 with his ass in their faces. Game over. That's when you do it. Wade jumped the gun. If they lose, he will never live it down.

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

The Miami Welcome Party: We're one Dallas victory away from it becoming permanently funny.

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
