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.
Why are you supporting the Heat? (If you are...)

I have always followed Shaq, so i do own a heat jersey and went for them while he was there because of the split he had with LA. I have since reverted back to LA, simply because i dont like the teams he has played for since with the exception of the suns. I didnt go for Cleveland when shaq and lebron were there so there is no way i would go for the heat like all the bandwagon jumpers....i cant stand seeing all the facebook status' saying "Lets go heat".....i posted one the other day when Miami went up 2-1 saying "Well done to all the fair weather Miami supporters....now can you tell me who played for them when they won in 06, or when they won 15 games 2 seasons after?"..........what do u know? no replies.....

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.
That essentially proves that you don't hate them completely because of what they did. You hate them because of who they are. It's not the act that pisses you off, it's the fact that they can do that act and they're going to be damn good as well.
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 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.
Yes it is all about winning..... but there is winning and then there is winning. As I said in a previous post I am all about loyalty and since Lebron has none I am allowed to feel the way i do. And don't use the word hate, I never have...... I dislike him. Hate is too strong a word and signifies something much deeper which I don't have. And the $480k donation is the biggest PR stunt I have ever seen.
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.
And remember just like you are allowed your opinion and point of view so am I.
Sorry Hairy wont be saying anymore on this matter will let your thread run for its intended purpose
haha i have these same feelings about the Mavs, they are just one of those teams i can't stand along with the Celtics and Wolves! Nothing to do with the Players on the teams just the organisations as a whole, i'd rather rather have my nuts devoured by a pit bull then watch these teams play

Therein lies my beef. Go and get the best players. Then try to figure out how to have a valid roster...
I like Wade.
Bosh is a little b***h.
Lebron has too big an ego to be liked, though he is an amazing player.
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...

Okay Heath... I'll take your word for it.
And no, LeBron has haters because he's not who they thought he would be. The next Jordan, or this loyal guy to deliver Cleveland a championship - whatever it is. LeBron didn't live up to people's expectations, he's not the hero that everyone wants to have. So they turn on him instead. It's pretty simple. The media is ace at orchestrating it as well. Let's not pretend like everyone has always hated LeBron, prior to this season everyone loved him, heralding him because he would be the hero. But since he's not, let's hate him instead

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

I never said he wasn't tough. I never said he was a p***y. He could be a stand-up citizen. I just think that on the court, he's a b***h. Just like 'Hollywood' Bosh.
lets get a debate going on the difference between b***h and p***y
