spurs are the classiest organization in the history of professional sports tbh. They also have the most classiest players you'll ever come across. While the heat are filled with douchebags, steroid cheats, coattail riders, pedophiles and ray allen.

I wouldn't call it weird... Most Mavs fans absolutely despite the Heat because of 2006. You might add the pure faggotry of Wade (e.g. how many dirty plays this asshole made in the last seasons), the "decision" to go hunting for rings the more easy way etc. That makes it rather easy to root for the Spurs. Despite all the rivalry I don't have a problem to give credit when credit is due. If the Spurs win I will give them props. Though I've never been a Spurs fan and never will be and if Indiana plays the Spurs I would very likely root against SA. But yeah, f*ck the cHeat.

Heat are the fan favorite in worldwide now tbh. the supporting ratio between Spurs and Miami will be 3-7 something. spurs supporters come mostly from South America and Mexico besides their al-quds named san antonio, while the rest of world will all support the heat imho.

No. There's nothing evil about basketball. Lebron James doesn't have bastard children running around, he didn't miss an entire season because he hurt his finger, he didn't shoot himself or anyone else outside or inside of a nightclub. He didn't sleep with a teammate's wife. He gives to charities.

Without Lebron, you'd be bombarded with "Kobe is the GOAT" from ESPN all the time. Lebron is the best thing for the NBA since Jordan. We're lucky to have him around to be perfectly honest. Which team he lands on is up to him, and that's how America works.

There is evil in the world, but it's not in the NBA (outside of the antichrist Stern)

The Spurs are a much bigger empire than the Heat. The Spurs have been in the playoffs longer than Lebron has been out of high school. They have 4 rings. They are always a team you must hear about in the post season. The Heat just got there relatively recently, at least at this level. Until they have 3 or more rings behind them, they aren't an "empire". They are the "come lately" team as Boston was when they stacked.

Pretty much this, imo.

Bron fucked up the exit from Cleveland but he knows that by now, imo. He really only hurt himself with the Decision. The Cavaliers were going to crater regardless of how he left anyway, so Mike Brown being replaced by Byron Scott and Ferry being forced out, that stuff, was just details.

There is no morally right or wrong way to build a championship team, imo. There is only the successful and unsuccessful way, imho.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Could there be any doubt? Up and down the roster we see the seven deadly sins:

Lust- Birdman. Oddly enough his little indiscretion would have been kosher age-wise in Biblical times, but it's still lust.
Gluttony- Birdman again. Our lives and our bodies are given to us so that we may do the Lord's work. Instead he indulged in worldly pleasures, debasing his gift and turning it into a hedionist temple.
***Honorable mention goes to Eddy Curry who lusted ("touch it, Dave") and is gluttonous, perhaps even glutenous, (he's a fat fuck). The Spurs attempted to reach out to him in training camp and saw what was in his heart and soon parted ways. What did the Heat do with this sinner? They won a championship ring for him before he went off to play basketball in China, likely as a secret missionary for the dark new faith rising in Florida.***
Sloth- Spoelstra. He could coach. He could do a number of things. Instead he sits and collects his paychecks in defiance of God's will that we should toil for what we gain.
Wrath- Wade. See Rondo, I'm Losing my Identity as a Team Leader as my Body and Talent Erode at Alarming Speed so I Will Dislocate the Elbow of Rajon. ***It should also be noted that Spurs once again looked into the heart of a player and decided against keeping his company. Stephen Jackson and his violent soul were evicted from the roster.***
Greed- Ray Allen. Already eclipsing Reggie Miller and with a championship of his own Ray Allen went into the off season and decided it still was enough. More threes to make. More rings to win. More, more, more. This is the mantra of greed.
Envy- Bosh so coveted his NBA neighbors possessions of rings and warm weather that he quit on and soon after fled the fans of Canada
Pride- Lebron. Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, but all seven sins are accounted for thanks to this unrepentant braggart.

[Phillip]

the good vs. evil already took place in 2011 when the Mavs beat the Heat.

:lmao at spurfans jealousy of the mavs succeeding in this situation, while the spurs will undoubtedly fail

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

And as we look at the Spurs we must ask did RC Buford set out to construct a championship contender or a living tribute to the Seven Heavenly Virtues:

Chastity- As he is no longer married and not prone to fornication we must assume that Tony's play is the result of his total focus on the game of basketball made possible by forgoing all carnal thoughts and acts.

Temperance- Blair. Where most NBA players indulge in ACLs Dejuan Blair abstains from such things. His spirit of discipline and restraint radiate throughout the locker room.

Charity- Manu. Whether teammate or opponent, Manu will pass to them all. Sharing is caring, and like the NBA, Manu cares.

Diligence- Tim Duncan. Shedding weight, hitting free throws, getting a divorce. Tim Duncan never stops finding ways to improve.

Patience- Kawhi Leonard. Someday he will have a facial expression, but until then he waits. Patiently.

Kindness- Pop. To ask for some nasty instead of selfishly and boorishly demanding it requires a kind heart.

Humility- Patty Mills. If I shared a homeland with both Crocodile Dundee and Yahoo Serious you would never hear the end of it. Instead Patty Mills shows up every game, waves his towel, and heads home. No "Paul Hogan this" and "Young Einstein that."

[AchillesHeel]

Not a heat fan but disagree with the thread title, tbh.

The hate for LeBron is unreal and won't ever go away. This one bitch (In SA) tried to force me to say "I hate LeBron" or else she didn't wanna talk to me. When I didn't, she hung up, called back and tried to make me say it again. Cut her ass loose.

if the league is so imbalanced, then why are there so many people who think that the spurs will dispatch the heat so easily? why are teams taking them to 7 games? why did a team beat them in the finals?

obviously its not nearly as imbalanced as people want to think. they have a superstar, and two all star players. no different than the spurs big 3 that won multiple championships.

Lebron's got every right to that to do what he did. He has no obligation to act in the best interest of the league or the fans or anyone else for that matter. But I agree with TW - from my perspective as a fan it hurt the parity of the EC and the league as a whole.

[Phillip]

Doesn't matter where LeBron would have gone. He still would be crucified for not staying in Cleveland.

this. and if he stayed in cleveland, pretty much for the rest of his career he would be stuck with a bunch of old, washed up stars coming to play for cheap, which is never going to be enough to win consistently. generally, when some kind of megastar begins a career somewhere, the team they land on has one of three benefits. 1) they have sucked for a while, and have had several nice draft picks to all grow to stardom together, 2) they already had a star on the team, or 3) they have good management to trade the good pieces they had at the time, for better. The Bulls got MJ and Pippen through the draft. The Spurs added Timmy to D-Rob and drafted well. The Lakers added Kobe to Shaq. The Rockets consistently made moves to keep Olajuwon surrounded. The Mavericks consistently made moves to keep talent around Dirk. Even in KDs case, he was drafted with Westbrook and Harden.

Lebron didn't really have any of those benefits. Boozer was pretty much their only hope, but he ended up screwing the Cavs over and bolting, and from then on, Lebron was pretty much surrounded by crap. The best two players they managed to have around him were Larry Hughes and Mo Williams :lol. He stayed for 7 years, made it clear he needed some help yet didn't publicly whine and bitch the way guys like Kobe did, never asked for a trade or anything. He signed an extension, lived his contract out, and left when it was clear that ownership was content with merely being a hot ticket across the NBA, as opposed to doing everything in their power to help win a championship. Even took his time in FA to see if they were going to make any serious attempts to make a big signing or a deal to bring in some talent. When the best they did was fire Mike Brown and hire Byron Scott, I think he finally had enough.

He didn't have to leave the way he did by creating such a spectacle (which he admitted himself he was wrong for that and would do it differently if he had another chance), but its not like he didn't give the Cavaliers more than enough chances to provide him with what he needed.

If the parity is hurt so much, then why did they get beaten in the Finals, and have gotten taken to 7 games in the ECF in each of the last two years? Obviously the parity isn't that bad.

Perhaps spurfans should complain about SA tanking a season away to do what they could to get a #1 pick to draft Timmy, and hurt the "parity" of the league, since they went on to win 4 championships with him.

What you're overlooking is that the Heat made the Finals on their first year as a stacked team. They won it in their second year. That's the definition of non-parity. They've been to the Finals 3 years in a row (including this one), every year since they stacked. Last team to do that was the Lakers after Pau arrived.

Never said it was ruined. And 95% of the NBA champions weren't constructed the way the Heat were. They came about because one of the best draft classes of all time gave way to one of the best free agent crops of all time and the crown jewels of that group ended up on a single team. I'm not saying that Lebron and Bosh should have stayed put and toiled away the rest of their careers with franchises that weren't getting it done. I'm saying that free agent class could have been a tipping point that brought the EC back to something resembling what's made the West worth watching these years - a few legit contenders, a few dark horses with some talent, half a dozen tomato cans. Their decision to go separate ways wouldn't have been a guarantee of that. They'd have to land in places that had quality coaching and competent management, stay healthy, etc. But the decision they did make all but ensured that the whole of the EC was playing for second place from day one.

And I don't speak for every fan. Hell, if anything has been made glaringly clear over the last five years it's that I'm not the guy the NBA is trying to reach out to. But I didn't watch a single Heat game this year and it's not about being a hater or anything along those lines. If I'm going to watch someone other than my Spurs it's because I think it's going to be a good game and every time I saw the Heat on the TV schedule it pretty much meant they were going to stomp the crap out of some team that couldn't match up with them or it would be a competitive game because the Heat would be coasting. Neither held a lot of appeal.

Who cares how a team of all-stars come together? Whether its by sign or by trade, it is going to happen sooner or later. Every few years, a team makes some blockbuster splashes, either through FA signings (as Miami did, and the 3-peat Lakers did by adding Shaq) or through some trades (like Miami did when they got Shaq, or like the Lakers did just before by getting Gasol to group up with with Kobe, Odom and Bynum, or Boston did by getting KG and Allen), and end up stocked with talent.

The only difference this time around was that one of the all-stars included, happens to be a guy who by the end of his career may be considered the best basketball player to ever play.

It's more like a series between two evils to me, and im only choosing the lesser one (Heat) between these two. It's kinda like the commies and allies for a German, I ain't cheering for either side but i would feel less pain if the Heat win than if the Spurs win

This is as true as anything here but for different reasons.

You have people who pretty much either didn't even attend college or people who did attend and took liberal arts classes just to say "I'm the smartest guy in the league, see I graduated". Then they make tens of millions for dribbling a basketball and acting like every other porch monkey in any inner city anywhere in the US. It's not good. It's not something you want your kids to do other than get that kind of money. Famous doctors who've discovered cures to diseases that have plagued the planet and taken millions of lives haven't gotten anything close to that kind of a payout. Then again, the last doctor who could dunk was Dr J and he weren't no real doctor.

Also I agree with someone who said this will be a grand battle between the embodiment of fundamental team basketball and the manufactured team led by acquired superstars who are given help from refs. So basically it's a battle for the soul of the casual basketball fan.

not the question
It's absolutely relevant to the question.... high-quality role players and sidekicks aren't scrubs.... if you want to see scrubs, take a look at the rosters LeBron (in Cleveland) and Iverson dragged kicking and screaming to the Finals :lol

This is as true as anything here but for different reasons.

You have people who pretty much either didn't even attend college or people who did attend and took liberal arts classes just to say "I'm the smartest guy in the league, see I graduated". Then they make tens of millions for dribbling a basketball and acting like every other porch monkey in any inner city anywhere in the US. It's not good. It's not something you want your kids to do other than get that kind of money. Famous doctors who've discovered cures to diseases that have plagued the planet and taken millions of lives haven't gotten anything close to that kind of a payout. Then again, the last doctor who could dunk was Dr J and he weren't no real doctor.

Don't see the problem with art major or anything that seems like a "shitty" major to you, and i don't think what you actually learn from college is that important compared to your experience through the college life. if you only take college to earn yourself some kind of leverage in the future job market, then 60-70% college students are basically wasting their time in colleges now because only less than 50% of them will end up working in the professions they major in.

but some college life experience does help make you a better person imho. It taught you to be an adult and be a good person, it helps you resist the bad habits (smoking for example) no matter what you study. You can be very successful in some area w/o a college degree, like my goddess scarlett, but you would still have no idea how to be a respectable person. you would continue to live as a slum dog w/ all those shitty habits despite how much money you have.

What did his squad do after that? Not his team we all know what happened to the Mavs, but that Squad.


Tyson Chandler won a DPOY but on every Lebron James team a DPOY candidate is playing.
