In 10 or so years. How will we look back on the lebron run with the heat?

No. I'm pointing out the idiotic hypocrisy in your post.

You're trying to belittle the Lakers' back to back by pointing out some plays that you thought were extremely "fluke" or "lucky."

I was simply showing you that that's a slippery slope because nothing is more lucky than bricking a game tying shot, getting the offensive rebound in a crazy scramble, and getting it to (at the time) greatest 3pt shooter in NBA history who shuffles back two steps and hits a massive shot with seconds remaining. In fact, that's by far a crazier and more unlikely scenario than Ron Artest hitting a 3.

Even the Heat fans didn't believe shyt like that was possible. They had already left the arena

I'm not a Kobe stan or a Lakers stan, but you're being really dense if you honestly believe the Lakers caught breaks and that diminishes their back to back whereas the Heat's was "hard earned" or whatever you tell yourself at night.

Okay, I get it, you're still talking because you still didn't understand my post.

It is GOOD to be neck-and-neck with a fantastic team like the 2013 Spurs. It is GOOD to have great players make great plays to beat them. What the Heat did was unlikely, but both Bosh and Ray's moves (and Lebron's three that cut the lead to 2 just before it) were completely based on skill, not on Artest bricking his three so bad that it went directly to Gasol just standing there like he was making an alley-oop pass.


It is FAR less impressive to barely squeak by the 2010 Suns or the 2010 Jazz. And to do it because 29%-shooting Ron Artest hits a three. Or to barely beat the Celtics on a lucky play even after they've already lost Perkins (a Celtics team that the Heat destroyed in 5 ten months later even after they had added Jeff Green to try to counter Lebron).


If you look at the best teams they beat, the performances they put up in the process, and the style they did it with, the Heat run was more impressive and memorable than the Laker run. You really have to have been on the Lebron-hate bandwagon not to see that.

Made the NBA an already fun league to follow even more fun. The hysteria was lit. Especially that first season with every win or loss

And LeBatard's show was the best to follow all the fukkery

with sadness... it would have been great if they didn't shoot themselves in the foot with their own stupidity

announcing it on tv like it was going to be some great news that the world would embrace.... WRONG

coming out with them 3 in their full uniforms, dancing, and celebrating like they already won the title..... WRONG

bron sitting there spouting off numbers... until he really fukking got to 8 motherfukking championships..... WRONG

then losing to the dallas mavericks of all people

then only getting 2 rings out the whole ordeal

only to go out on another loss... and run away after 4 years, when you promised 8 rings





if they had just teamed up... released the news through agents or press... and shut up and played.... it would look amazing or at least like a legendary 4 years.. cause there would be no expectations



they heaped all that shyt on themselves... thinking this was like bird, kareem and jordan teaming up... and it never was that and wasn't much better than the big 3 in boston. they just swore they was gonna ease their way into a dynasty of epic proportions with no resistance from the league cause they were the big 3 baby!!!


i'm not even sure lebron staying in cleveland for those 4 years couldn't have netted him 2 rings if they got some good free agents

Actually that is how the Heat do things or did things with big splash signings and trades. I guess you don't remember shaq being traded there and then beat doing a big parade and Shaq riding in a 18 wheeler and hoping out guaranteeing a championship.

Miami ain't like Chicago or new York or any of those cities. It is a sunny warm weather city with transplants. You have to drum up hype for the fans or they won't come. Just too much shyt to do in the city and warm weather all times of the year.

The heat did what they usually second of all that feed was only meant for that area. It was ESPN and the rest that tapped into sun sports broadcast and showed the parade live.

good 4 year run. did what he came to the Heat to do. but im sure 2011 will always be looked upon as the way that got away. 2014 was just not our year. the Spurs were just lights out.


but how will we look back on LeBrons run with the Heat when he comes back after this season?

Spoiler

The wink

yea but shaq delivered

that was the problem... lebron should have never even said that many damn years if he had no intention of staying that long... and from what SAS reported 2 year into it, he had plans to leave already

he was out there selling wolf tickets and couldn't even cash in on the first 4, let alone 5-8... and it will be forever remember as a failure because of what he put on himself


they have the same exact events... but he says "and we gonna win a few rings" and the whole outlook changes



when you build a superteam like that, 2 rings was not the outlook anyone was looking for and history ain't gonna suddenly shine bright on that.. especially going out on a loss and what LOOKS like jumping ship
