To the people saying Lebron wasn't a villain during that 2012 season, I beg to differ. Always thought he played the villain role up until he finally won a championship. Whole team embraced it with the debut of the black alternate jerseys. Then we had stuff like this:
Hated that Heat squad, but at the same time I respected them. Team was mad hungry that season and I gotta admit during the 2014 playoffs, I was begging Miami to take out that Pacers team in the ECFs. Couldn't stand Indiana at the time. Fraudulent 1st seed that should've lost in the first round if Atlanta capitalized, but I digress.
