Because it's unfair to choose to play with good talent. It's fine if management gets BS trades to land HOF players for nothing and it's fine to play with 2-3 other HOF players as long as you didn't choose to....but you are damned if you are smart enough to make that choice yourself!!!
Of course an analyst wouldn't rank the Heat the #1 team in the league right off the back with the lakers being the defending champs. In the eyes of many nba fans we care about competitiveness, not a predictable league in where there will always be the alpha dawg team that has the ability to win it all each and every year. I beg to differ about chicago and co being better than the current heat squad..3 of the top 10 players on 1 team In my opinion is far more greater not to mention a bench surrounded with shooters. Noah is very overrated IMHO he's a high energy, hustle and emotional guy(taller chuck hayes)
Lebron's final appearances: 1 Dywane Wade's finals appearances: 1 Bosh's finals appearances: 1 Lakers Finals Appearances under Kobe's regime: 4 Celtics Finals Appearances: 3 Favorite team to win it all: Lakers So won't you agree that the Celtics and the Lakers are the "alpha dog teams that always had a chance to win it all" the past 4 years? The Lakers and Celtics matchup had been done 2 times already. So where the the hate for the Lakers and Celtics then? Again, when you look at the facts the Lebron haterade does not compute.
Yeah, honestly every non-Cav fan who jumped on the Hate Lebron bandwagon are just trying to be cool kids and do the "in" thing. Its like when Boozer the Loozer jilted the Cavs for Utah. The Cavs fans had a right to be upset, and everyone had a right to be disgusted by his behavior. However to take it over the top like what people are doing now (esp. the non-cavs fans) is just too much overreaction IMHO. Its like Lebron killed their kids or something...
Actually outside of L.A. the Lakers have been one the most hated teams of the NBA. Kobe been voted one of the most dislike athletes in professional sports so the hate been there. That's why I said a lot of people are mad b/c of the decision and the fact he joined the heat with 2 other top 10 players being already there. The Celtics big 3 first season together made them an alpha dawg team but since then anyone in the east could easily get to the finals. Lakers have been a lock to win the west since the addition of Gasol but have been tested come playoff time (Rockets 08, Thuder 09) by teams they "supposedly" should have steamed-rolled. A healthy Rockets squad in 08 with Yao, McGrady and Ron could have won that series. All the people who hate lebron now wouldn't if his "decision" to play for a team was their favorite team!
Dude, am i trying to tell you anything about yourself? No. I don't know you. I'm long past trying to be a cool kid. LOL. Too old.
Hell not only That I work at the AAA, I was there when they had that Celebration introducing the Big 3, I Thought that was too much.
