I never thought a sports team could be more universally hated and despised than the 2007 Patriots. Generally winners attract bandwagoners, the Patriots might be the only team to have attracted anti-bandwagoners, people who hated on New England because that's what everybody else was doing. This hate for the Pats came even before SpyGate.

But I think this bullshit alliance, the way LeBron went about this, the way he raped the city of Cleveland, the documentary crews following Bosh/Wade as they went through the motions of this charade.....I think this might become the most hated sports team ever.

Miami can add Dwight Howard and Chris Paul, and my hate will still be solely directed toward the Fakeshow.

If anything, Bron deserves to play on a team like this, where Mo Williams or an ancient Antwan Jamison isn't his "Scottie Pippen."

For the record, I loved the 2007 Pats, and rooted for them in the Super Bowl (Tom Brady was the main reason--I'm a huge Michigan fan).

I don't care enough about Miami to hate them even though this deal was bullshit.

I will, however, look forward to hopefully curbstomping them next season.

What kind of drama is there in a movie where all 3 players just go "Yeah we're teaming up. Yep. Wanna go to lunch?" They had to go through the motions of meeting with other teams, LeBron had to pretend to struggle with this decision to the last minute. Wade had to pretend he might go to Chicago. Bosh had to pretend he might consider other offers.

It's a lot more possible. If the heat win like 4 straight championships, they'll be a lot more hated than a team that never won anything.

That's so bitchmade. They basically all doubt their ability to lead a franchise on their own, so they team up like this. Fuck that.

Because of this, LeBron will never get any higher than 15th or so on the all-time greats list. Couldn't take his own team all the way so he piggybacked onto Wade.

.

The Heat basically tanked the last three years, gave their fans an absolutely terrible product and didn't even try to win. It was all about clearing cap space for this summer. Take the Spurs, Mavs, Wallaces-Era Pistons, franchises that try every year and don't jip their fans by giving them an absolutely shitty product.

As for LeBron and a player of his gifts and talents, it's taking the easy way out. Quitting on a franchise in his final playoff series, quitting on a city that reveres and loves him, and going to a place with another #1 option, a #2 option, Riley to get him over the finish line? It's weak. And to do it on national television? If he wants to take the easy way out and join the Heat, so be it. But to humiliate a sports town like Cleveland when he grew up nearby and understands the sports anguish of that town and adding cruel insult to injury? Just uncalled for.

Bosh? This douche wants to get near-max money and get paid like a superstar when his Toronto teams won 40% of their games and never won a playoff series, and were in the lottery five times.

And then Riley...when was the last time this guy had to do any heavy lifting? Part of it is he's an NBA legend and he's running a franchise in a warm-weather climate with nightlife and beaches and no state income tax. It sells itself to free agents.

The only chance is something crazy like a fourpeat or five in a row. Plus since he's younger than Wade he could be the undisputed leader in like 5 years depending upon how much Wade declines. They need to win a shitload for him to have any chance.

Lebron's ceiling now is a rich man's Scottie Pippen. I don't care who the better player is, but joining a team with someone who has already won a championship as the clear #1 option taints his career. Michael Jordan went to a team that was in terrible shape and won 6 championships in spite of a cheap ass owner who viewed the Bulls as a distant second to his White Sox. Lebron bailed on the team that invested everything in him and as others have said, took the easy way out.

Obviously because winning championships and having the greatest team ever means more to him than being the GOAT. Your reasoning is starting to be on par with Laker/Kobe fans who are more interested in Kobe's greatness, and Kobe being "greater" than Jordan, as opposed to the team simply winning championships. If Bron and Wade and Bosh go on to win 7 or 8 titles, who cares? They basically can do what the Spurs fans to and say "8 rings, faggots!"

Adam Morrison contributed nothing

Horry contributed a big shot every now and then

Bron is going to be one of the 2-3 best players on his team every single night, probably the best more often than not, because he is the best player on that team.

big difference.

If he gets remembered for having 8 titles as what you call "super pippen", I'm sure he would be fine with that, because 8 titles is something Kobe or even MJ cant say they were a part of. being a part of what truly is the greatest team ever, would be something that MJ/Kobe wouldnt be able to say they were a part of.

People may be mad now, but should they win 7-8 championships, when it's all said and done, hes going to be remembered more for being a part of the greatest team ever, as opposed to being "super pippen". and I'm sure he would be perfectly happy with that.

you guys act like anything less than GOAT status for Lebron means he had a shit career. truth is, he wasn't going to win more than 3 or 4 rings in Cleveland, if that, because their FO was so shitty, and probably wasnt ever going to surpass MJ as the GOAT. at least now, he can win a shitload of rings, and still not be considered the GOAT, as opposed to MAYBE winning a couple, and not being the GOAT.

And actually Lebron should be ashamed. He had the chance to bring sports back to life in the city he was born in that hadn't won anything since the 1940's. For 7 years he basically controlled what moves they made and who was put around them to the point where Cleveland rested all of their fate in his hands. Cleveland's roster was built for Lebron's liking.

Tonight, he left the franchise and city that invested everything it had in him hung out to dry because he made up his mind sometime during game 5 of the Celtics series that this Cleveland project was too much hard work and he chose to take the easy route of going somewhere where he could be a sidekick and ride someone who already has carried a team on his back to a championship. Doing for the Cavaliers what MJ did for the Bulls was just too much work for ol' Bronny.

If he wins 8 rings, and is the leading scorer for the majority of those teams, and wins a few more MVPs, I'm pretty sure he is going to be considered far greater than Dr. J

And that shouldnt be his focus. His focus should be on trying to help a team win as many championships as possible. The legacy will simply come.

all the nonsense about him being second fiddle to Wade is retarded too.

Bron and Wade every night will be 1a and 1b. Big different as opposed to MJ, who was CLEARLY a better player than Pippen.

This is more on par with Magic/Kareem, who were 1a and 1b options.


You're right, Lebron and Wade will be 1a and 1b. The tie breaker that makes Wade 1a is that he has already proven he can go the distance without Lebron.

As Kobe's career has shown us, supporting cast is completely irrelevant in the eyes of the media, as long as you're winning titles at the end..

Lebron and Wade are still going to be high-usage players, except now they'll also be able to focus more defensively with the other 2 superstars on the team..this won't hurt Lebron's legacy, everybody will celebrate him, as long as he wins titles..

EXACTLY!!!! He showed everyone just how scared and insecure he is of his own abilities. He knows he can't lead a team to a title, which is why he went somewhere where "The Man" is already established.

If he went ANYWHERE but Miami, he shows he has the mentality that all truly great players have. He shows he wants to take his own team, his own guys, a team that will jump on his back and let him carry them across the finish line. Instead he went where there was an established superstar, and is hoping they can take turns piggybacking each other.

That's the patent excuse as to why the NBA isn't fixed. But it holds no water.

The Spurs, despite being wrongly considered "boring" by mainstream America, has two things going for it. Manu and Tony. They have two international superstars on their team, so for the Spurs to be successful is great for the NBA internationally.

This is not saying that the Spurs were given anything. They earned every bit of their championships. But to say that there isn't collusion or shady practices going on in the NBA simply because the "boring Spurs" win just isn't true.

If I'm a coach, that's who I go with.

Wade has proven he doesn't need LeBron, but he certainly wouldn't mind the extra help. He's the one who said "you guys come play on MY team".

LeBron has shown how mentally fragile he is with this move. He has no confidence that he can lead a team to a title. He doubts his abilities. He NEEDS a guy like Wade to shoulder some of the burden, which is why he's the one packing his bags to go to Wade's team, and not the other way around.

Tbh this Wade-Lebron combo if looked at positively instead of negatively will have the bonus that every game they could pick whoever has the weaker guy guarding him as the go to guy.

Tbh the Patriots just need to time it right so the next time they're 18-0 the other team in the superbowl is starting Rex Grossman at QB.

Dr. J hadn't already led a team to a title like Wade had.

I was more focusing on the part that he can go to the Heat and still be a #1 guy with Wade. Although I'm in the camp that thinks Wade will always be 1-up on LeBron.

Tbh this Wade-Lebron combo if looked at positively instead of negatively will have the bonus that every game they could pick whoever has the weaker guy guarding him as the go to guy. And since few teams have two perimeter stoppers among their crunch time five, Wade or Lebron could be going one on one against some average defender for the final shot. This is an advantage players like Kobe and Jordan never had.

That's why they need a Riley type who the players respect. Someone who can draw up the final play and decide who will take the final shot without getting questioned.

tbh all the Colts have to do is get injured players back and avoid teams who have special helmet catching abilities.
