Really not sure how you're using that as "evidence" that Boston fans are bandwagon jumpers. I'm not saying there aren't any bandwagon fans, though I'm sure there's less than in most cities (I know tons of long-time season ticket holders), but fans chanting to throw off Lebron with an intelligent chant is an indication of bandwagon fans?

What?

Does not compute.

The Heat may win, but I predict there will be more infighting than ever. EGOs at stake like never before. LeBron is not mature enough to share the glory.

Not saying they won't win, but before it happens all egos need to be checked at the door. I'd never leave home to be second option in someone else's team. Plus the Heat don't have real fans. They're mostly bandwagon jumpers. All Basketball analysts, basketball fans and networks know that.
I don't know about all that, I don't think Lebron is going to be second option, I think that D Wade and Lebron will be both co captians and leaders, I don't think anyone will have the actual number one spot and main captain, if it does happen I'm sure it will after they have all talked and come to an agreement. And the Heat not having real fans doesn't mean anything. What does that have to do with anything? But just to clarify, the Heat does have real fans, a lot of years ago yeah most were bandwagon fans but now they have real fans and every year they get more and more and are the REAL ones, that no matter what, win or lose they are right there behind them.

The arena is almost always full or at least enough people. And yeah, those teams have had real fans no matter what for a long time now because of many reasons, one being their cities are older, and their basketball teams have a richer history.

What are you trying to say here that since there are a lot of Latins in Miami that Lebron will go crazy trying to chase them and wife one of them? or are you trying to imply sluts? because in Miami most of the sluts are White and Black girls and of course most of the tourists.

Let's be real...ShaQ Some people clearly don't understand basketball. That's bandwagon jumper talk.
This is true, can't agree more.

Another good game is going to be Miami vs. Boston, hopefully the Heat get their revenge, and also it will be cool to see the 3 (Allen, Pierce, Garnett) vs. the new 3 (Wade, James, Bosh).
Miami vs Boston now is going to be crazy, any teams with stars like that against each other is going to crazy. The Heat's three is better than the Celtic's three though, Wade and Lebron are both two of the best in the league and the top of the top, but in the Celtic's, Garnett is the only one that is top of the top, Ray Allen is good but not up there enough and same with Bosh, Pierce is under all of them though. Miami's three seems better and more star studded.

Now that these 3 guys are in Miami, attendance will change. (Again, thanks to the bandwagoners. People claiming they were Heat fans from the Seikaly days... Yeah right)

The Knicks has/had a mediocre team at best, yet Madison Square Garden is always almost packed to capacity. From what I hear, season Knicks tickets for 2010-2011 season are moving pretty fast. Even with Wade/Bosh/James, the Heat tickets cannot sell as fast.

To be honest, Miami is not a basketball town. This is football and baseball town.
Miami? if basketball is number one here than it's definetly second next to football, than baseball comes third. And like I posted on an earlier post replying to one your posts, yeah most WERE bandwagon fans but no longer is the case and way before this whole Wade/Lebron thing, yeah there are still bandwagon fans, but like I said in one of the earlier posts as well, Miami is young and so is it's sport teams. On another note, Atlanta? pfff not at all. And Heat fans "just cause" or it's the "in thing?" Lmao, those are most of the Broward and Palm Beach fans and some of the young non basketball fans that are just going because their friends are going.

Or the Boston fans that cheered "NY Knicks" when they were about to beat Cleveland?
New York Knicks, New York Knicks!

Lastly, how about the A-listers who frequent all of the Laker games, funny how so many celebrities just love basketball and aren't looking for a photo op.
NBA.com - Top 10 Celebrity Lakers Fans

Those are the real fans compared to Miami's? To me those are the most bandwagon teams out there. People will buy a Knicks, Celts or Lakers jersey just because it says Kobe or somethin' silly on the back of it.
You're wrong. Have you ever set foot at the Staples Center or Madison Square Garden, during the regular season? Be honest. I have, and it is not the same as the American Airline arena. One any given day, you will find people filling up these arenas. Miami, not quite. I did say, from now on, we'll see more people going. HENCE BANDWAGONISM!!!!

Also the LA Lakers and NY Knicks monetary values are rated @ first and second. Miami Heat's value is placed at #12. That says a lot.

Not true. Like someone else said, they're older cities, with a bigger basketball core to begin with. That alone makes it harder for you to prove that LA Lakers fans are bandwagon jumpers.

Please. Since the Heat's 2006 championship, attendance has declined. Let's be real here.

Now we're getting somewhere. You're starting to make sense.

Please, don't embarrass yourself . Latin women are known as the "caliente women" for a reason. We know looks is one aspect of why they're known as "caliente", and the rest, the world knows.

Brazil, DR, Colombia and other Latin countries sex tourism flourish there for a reason. Latin women are worse than white and black women combined. You went there, so did I, dude.

If you want to start another thread about it, do it in the politics forums. We'll see what you come up with.

You forgot one thing. The Heat does not have a bench. Without a bench, you're not worth much. Why do you think Boston, LA and Orlando are top contenders? Because of their bench, my friend. Why do you think Pat Riley is trying to do whatever he can now to build one?

Prove your last statement. And of course, if tickets are selling like hotcakes now, it's because of the bandwagon fans. Why weren't they selling before then? Let's be real. The world of Basketball knows Miami has a fickle fanbase. Don't try to deny it. If they never sold like this, it's because of people jumping on the bandwagon. You know it, I know it. If you're a Heat fan, fine, but don't deny that most people who are now humping the Heat's legs are bandwagoners....

And again, this is Football territory, followed by Baseball, or Beisbol for some.. Basketball comes in 3rd position.
