How dare you post this! This has to be photoshopped, I told you Michael Jordan was a saint! There is no way he'd be doing something like this.

That's not necessarily true. They ranked in the top 10 in attendance in 2007 and 2008, and were in the top half of the league in 2009 and 2010. You guys make it sound as if the Heat were like 29th in the league in attendance before Lebron showed up

Somebody's sarcasm meter is broken.

The media built a hype and rode it for Lebron before he entered the NBA so labeling him as great was something that was given to him not necessarily something he asked for. Yes he is great he is a rare talent that comes once every 10 years or so and I'm sure he would have loved to win a championship for Cleveland but he couldn't do it with that awful team they put together in Cleveland.

Because America is pathetic and people loved to hate things just to be negative and a-holes. People love the negative in every aspect of anything and never need a valid reason to complain or throw stones at someone. They'll root for foreigners (something I dont have a problem with) whom they dont watch while they claim to be more American than someone else, while they thrash soccer because it's not viewed as an American sport before they root for a team that took less money collectively to join, and have played some of the best basketball they've ever seen.

"Well, they're fans suck." The typical complaint from a fan who thinks he's more fan than the next guy. Usually a cold weather person where sports is all they have. People in Miami, LA dont have sports dictate their lives. NEVER FORGET, Bulls attendance dropped 40% when MJ left.

I'll save the Lebron-hate aspect to this because those are another type of idiotic group I'd rather not waste time on. America will jump from team to team rooting against the Heat then point the finger at a fanbase that has sold-out that arena for years and is THE hottest ticket in the league when they come to your town.

In regards to sports, America is the land of free flowing hate. Constant, high in PSI, busting at the pipes when the Heat is the topic.

He asked for it. He could have easily gone to college for 4 years after high school.

He wanted the fame, the money, the coverage.

I've been on the site 2 years longer than you, but yeah this is actually my first day. I'm glad someone noticed.

I'm not saying he isn't. What I'm saying is someone said Heat fans are quick to call people trolls, and lo and behold, it happened.
