When I first started collecting basketball cards my first cards were of Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson. Zo looked cooler so I stuck with him.
He was my first ever favorite player so I followed him through his entire Heat journey. What a warrior! In 2003-04 we were lucky enough to get Wade, who definitely exceeded all expectations set for him, seeing as he was the #5 pick and thought to be a step worse than both LeBron and Carmelo.
Now we have LeBron, which is a bit of a dilemma. You never want a player who others consider "the best" to come onto your team when you believe your guy (Wade) is the best. But I've come to appreciate LeBron's talents, what other choice do I have? He's not going anywhere soon, and his play is phenomenal.
Personally I don't care about the hate or whatever. It's the Heat's time in the sun, we've had our lows. After the '06 title getting swept by the Bulls, then winning 15 games. Missing out on drafting Rose despite having the best odds and getting Beasley who didn't live up to expectations. Having Wade be the best player in the league in 08-09 but not get MVP because the Heat only won like 43 games or something like that.
It's our time now. The hate just comes with the territory.
I don't understand how anyone can say they can't stand the Mavs?! An awesome owner who takes fines and pays out money for players he wants and a bunch of veterans and players who don't do anything outrageous or stupid. I just don't understand it.
No it comes from the way they went about everything and the way they continue. I loved Wade before this year and felt he was one of the most humble players going round and very under rated. Now I think lebron is rubbing off a bit more on him and he's all of a sudden got a very cocky persona. Although I do feel sorry for him now because he will always live in lebrons shadow.

Yeah but that's my point. It comes because they are stars.
If it was 3 random bench players throwing a celebration and acting like kings of the world you wouldn't care. It's the fact that it's 3 stars that are impact players, that all you other fans that support teams like the Bulls, Knicks whoever else - got burned by. You missed out.
If you got them and they threw that celebration you would love them. Don't try and deny it, you know it's true.
Got burned by what? Lebron was never coming to the Bulls, it was a pre-arranged agreement between mates to all play for Miami simple as that.
I'm glad the Bulls didn't get Lebron after the carry on he went on with his bloody 'where am i going' tv show and all the crap that came with it. His cokiness and look at me attitude is why people dislike him and he has brought that to the heat now. I have no real beef with wade and bosh except bosh needs to man up a bit and stop with the water works.
Lebron will probably win a few easy rings at Miami and why shouldn't he with all the talent there now. However I would rather Rose and the Bulls any day of the week over a heartless franchise who will do anything to buy their rings.
Yeah okay Heath get on the colluding bandwagon. Nobody fully knows the answer to that, but that's not my point anyway. My point is that the Bulls, Knicks, Nets and whoever else all threw pitches at members Big 3 desperately trying to get them to come play for them.
And yep, okay. The "where am I going TV show" that raised $480K for the boys and girl's club in the state of Ohio. That was so cocky and arrogant. He has since apologized for that anyway.
Yeah okay buddy. Whatever you say. You can hate the Heat and LeBron as much as you want, I couldn't care less. But don't pretend like you wouldn't have welcomed any of those players with open arms as a Bulls fan, if they had chosen to play for the Bulls.
And last time I checked - the goal of any sport, basketball included is to win. If you win by having the best players, then go and get the best players. It's called being smart, not "heartless" - don't start with all this moral crap. There was nothing immoral or unethical about what they did. Get over it.
i hate the heat because they suck balls. i've hated them since 1991.

I think I just said I would rather Rose any day of the week didn't I. I did not want Lebron. Simple as that! Wade & Bosh were different stories...... they never made it about them. Its always been the team for them and always will be. And we all know that the big 3 colluded, didn't really say I was against that. It happens. People bend the rules. I'm sure the Bulls haven't always been on the straight and narrow.
Lebron has so many people who dislike him because of who he is, not because he is a star. Michael Jordan, Bird, Johnson etc etc all were stars but never had the dislike Lebron has and for reasons we all know why.
Put them together and then glue the rest of the pieces together, and go around like you're going to beat the Bulls 72-10 record? I hate that. Try and play like a team, build a team.
I'm sure Miami will win rings in the coming years and by then I'm sure I won't mind. I would just hate for them to do it this year when in a TEAM sport there really is no team...
That's fair enough. Did you hate the Celtics then, cause they did the same thing and climbed the mountain in their first year..
I've actually hated the Celtics since Bird left... but even they still had SOME players there to make up the roster...
Funny thing is that I ALWAYS liked the Heat but just this year I rather despise them. And I hate the Celtics. Both teams have a little b***h too (Bosh and Pierce)!
Pierce IS such a little b***h huh, only got stabbed 11 times then came back to start 82 games the next year, what a p***y
