obviously not. you get haters/dislikers for two reasons. #1 if you doing it right but you aint that persons' favorite whatever.

or #2 you aint really doing it right but the media is hyping you up as if you are the greatest thing since peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

remember "THE STREAK"

remember all the espn hype "are lebrons heat as good as mj's bulls? are the heat better then these other great teams from the past."

fools cosigning on TV. "i think the heat are as good or better then Great Team X from the past."


now they had to struggle with the pacers to get out. lol. the heat are lucky enough to be in an era of watered down teams. its not their fault. but its a reality. its like a boxer being a champion in a watered down era of boxing. its not his fault. he can only knock out who you put in front of him. but because of that, you cant over rate the guy due to his stats and say he's as good as a great of the past that had to go thru much stiffer competition in order to win.

none of that changes the fact that he's still a great player in his own time and in his own right. he'll still go down as one of the greatest. not sure he'll make it to the mountain top, but he's on the mountain. and he's one of the most dominant players ever by any measure. media hype and meaningless stat manipulation won't change that.


you can be mad that the media hypes him up. it's true. be mad that people look at his stats and attempt to compare him to players of a different generation when the game was very different. be mad that he's called king. be mad that we're witnessing his accomplishments. be mad about the decision. just be mad.

pay attention. the refs won that game for miami.

see i've played ball all my life. i've been on teams that got shafted by the refs and my team was the better team hands down.

i've been on teams that got ref love for no good reason just cause the refs liked us and didnt like how the other team "didnt play the right way".

calls can completely change how a game is played. for an incomplete team like the heat with stars that are not complete either(lebron cant really shoot mid range jumpers with a defender on him. he doesnt have that one dribble pull up that kobe, melo, crawford, and a few others have in their arsenal.)

lebron can shoot when he's alone and hit. dwade cant shoot alone or with defenders on him if its not from his one or two favorite spots.

thats an incomplete player. if the refs dont bail out these guys when they bull rush the rim because they cant do anything else well enough. then they will be force to either shoot and brick or rush the rim for offensive fouls or Turnovers.

but..if the refs decide to award questionable calls along the perimeter so you cant defend them, now lebron can hit his open 3ball. if the refs calls blocking fouls on you and your teammates when in reality it should've been a no call or an offensive foul. that will change how you approach defending the heat.

the only time you can "play thru the refs" is if you dont miss your shots. but what team doesnt miss their shots? most teams do. so saying "play thru it" is asking for a miracle from a team like the pacers.

the tone was set early by the refs. Pacers are not allowed to play their style of up in you defense. the pacers are not allowed to clog the paint.

so now the young pacers have to play some kind of game thats not their own. odds are if you do that, you wont win a game 7. heat were allowed to be more aggressive on offense and defense. this is why it LOOKED as if the heat went hard and the pacers didnt.
the pacers COULD NOT go hard. thats why they didnt. the heat were allowed to, thats why they did go hard.

you wanna know how the heat got all those Offensive rebounds? it starts with refs allowing the heat to push guys in the back and do all sorts of clutching and grabbing (all illegal) to acquire the rebounds. if the refs call it like they should. it will tell the heat they have to get the rebound fair and square without cheating. if they try to pull that off. the heat will lose the rebounding battle every single time. why? they are to small for the pacers. thats why.

Nikka shut the hell up

sorry you got the wrong guy. i aint mad at lbj. i'm mad at the nba. you still dont get it.

i dont run around shouting stats, stats and more stats.

softening the rules like the nba did made it easier for most perimeter guys to be successful. but what it also did was make it so that guys will never HAVE TO really grow their games to win rings. so for now on, people will be called GREAT and compared to legends that dont deserve to be because they have INCOMPLETE games. what everyone else had to go thru to turn their game up 3 notches these new nba players dont have to go thru. but yet they get to be called greats alongside the other old guys who went thru a tougher road. thats a LIE. so i'm saying in order to stop that lie and to bring me great hoop. change the rules so it isnt so soft and catering. eventually the players will adjust, they always do. then the stars will truly be GREAT.

Even with all these amazing stats..the question needs to be answered....Can they beat the Spurs? Can Lebron push the Heat to the title against the Spurs. If they want to win. Lebron is going to have to transform into . Because Wade has been BS'ing and Bosh probably won't be a factor in this series. They beat the Spurs then we can officially usher in the Era of Lebron. Two title minimum for an Era.
