People love to complain how sick and tired of them they are yet they take the time to click on article relating to them, commenting, etc.

Anytime you're at the top, you will become a very polarizing player. It happens in every sport.
Most people loved Jordan. Yeah, of course, there were plenty of haters. But public opinion of Jordan for the most part was high. Everybody wanted to be like Mike.

Every team, at least the bigger teams have their own page. Everyone is so obssed with the Heat that it is the most read "team page" so they get a link on the front NBA page and other teams don't, but many if not all the teams have their own page.

Lets a lot remember plenty of cities like LA, Boston, NY, LA, Dallas Chicago have their own "ESPN" website pretty much.

And btw the way guys. Spurs had cooling fans in their locker room at halftime. The Heat? Nope nothing. That's messed up. Simple as that.

Can't wait for game 2. Lebron said he did not need any more motivation, well he is getting more now.

Lebron a "perfect role model"??? Yeah if you're trying to mold yourself after one of the great narcissists of this nba generation.

Maybe someone can post up the devil lady flipping Noah off in Miami from last years playoffs.

Lebron wasn't "hurt" he didn't take a huge fall, he didn't catch an elbow to the face, he had a cramp! And if you think fans are less classy than they were 10, 20, 30 yrs ago, then you are either sadly mistaken, or about 15 yrs old and remembering little league.
I distinctly remember fans of teams like the bad boy pistons LOVING when they busted someone's ass.
Yea, you are calling me 15, yet you are using the phrase "butthurt"

I think it is just 100,000,000 times easier for idiots to come out because of the internet and call people "LeCramp" or make fun of a guy who can't move his dam legs in serious pain.

It is sad. I have never once felt this way against another person, especially someone I don't even know. Why put so much energy into this? Why the hate?

I get if it they are Cavs fans, I really do. But besides for that. I don't get it.

The only non traumatic pain that touches a full blown skeletal cramp is gout, basically both are 9 out of 10 when it comes to non contact pain. The only thing worse would be giving birth for a woman or a kidney stone for a man. Obviously there are cancers and such but lets not get crazy, I wouldn't compare anything to that.

Lebron has an issue with cramping and part of it is his muscle makeup, he'd be much better off carrying a little more fat on his body. He also doesn't hydrate enough or there are other problems with his body we don't know about..

The comments about Jordan like he was super human are ridiculous, some people think he quit basketball just to play baseball, or because his Dad died ( the latter was part of it) the other reasons like serious gambling issues plus the pressure he, the media, and the fans, put on himself were the biggest though. Lebron has 1000 times more nonsense to deal with, when it comes to the internet, ESPN, etc... I'm not even a Lebron fan, I was 11 when Jordan and my favorite baller Barkley were drafted, and just like the guys before me didn't want to give Jordan his due over Wilt, I'm the same way. Last night watching Dwayne Wade, one of my favorite players basically crawl into a corner and suck his thumb when Lebron went out made me realize how good Lebron must be. I know Wade is getting older, slower, and has bad knees but I didn't know he was that weak.



Btw, anyone who watched Jordans Hall of Fame speech and didn't come away with less respect for him, has serious mental issues. Dude is a serious JO.

I've always loved your sense of humor!! Keep the chuckles coming This is comedic gold LOL. Sore loser heat bandwagon frontrunner fans are second to none in hilarity!!

What if the situation was reversed, with the game in Miami, and say Duncan leaving with cramps leading to a Heat win. Would you STILL think the win was a gift to the heat, would you still think it a horribly unfair conspiracy, and would you want Game 2 in a neutral city instead?? No, no and no!!

Amen to that. I would like the people who keep telling this guy to pipe down to be quiet. This is epic material. He's like the Norm MacDonald of the thread. Killing me... let him go. Miami Heat bandwagon angst is a gold mine of giggles.
