The media, with ESPN leading the charge, was begging for him shyt on Cleveland from the moment he entered the league. Please let that false narrative die. He caught hate because he didn't go to the teams they had been pushing him towards (NY/CHI) for his whole career.
So teaming up with prime Amare, or Deron, or getting Bosh to go to CHI with him to team up with Rose would have been okay?
Wade.At the time none of those other players were on Wades level and nobody knew Rose would be as good as he is now.
Amare and Deron are still not as good as a
now. Let's not act like Deron wasn't considered at top 3 pg at the time. How many big men at the time were put over Amare? Regardless of where you wanna rank them there is no denying that they were considered superstar players at the time.
The debate for years had been who is the best Bron or Kobe. Suddenly Bron teams with Wade and "He's not even the best player on his own team." "He's Robin". 
So the Bulls selected D. Rose at number 1 overall because they didn't expect him to become a superstar? Nobody expected him coming out of college or even HS to become a superstar? He just came out of nowhere?
Amare and Deron themselves are both looking
Beyond all that, it's not like facts and consistency played into what was said about Wade at that time. Wade wasn't even thought of as being on the level that he was put on when Bron went there.
The fact is people hated on Bron out of fear, out of anger, and out of jealousy. The media hated because they saw where the ratings/buys were. To keep trotting out the long disproven and totally baseless and inconsistent ass reasons to justify the hate is just silly.
Wade was considered top 5. Rose wasnt even top 10. Pau and Dwight were both considered better than Amare and there was an argument for Bosh. Only thing you right about is Dwill being a top 3 PG.
fukk outta here with this jealousy shyt.
Bron leaving Cleveland and teaming with a player too good to play with was only and issue because it wasn't the right squad and you know it. Wade and Bron and fukkin Dwight coulda gone to LA with Kobe and you wouldn't have heard a word.
So NY nikka would've been talking about poor CLE and superstars teaming up if he had gone there? CHI nikkas? LA nikkas?
Yeah Wade was considered top 5 but not better then Lebron, until they joined forces. So if it was possible to ignore that fact and prop Wade up to shyt on Bron, why would it have been so impossible to prop those guys up as well. Wade went from top 5 to best in the L (based on Bron being at worst 2nd best in the L for the previous 4 seasons) so why couldn't Amare or D.Rose or D-Will make a similar leap? Oh yeah because nikkas in NY or CHI woulda been cool with it and the media woulda been cool becuase it was what they had been clamouring for all along and LA nikkas wouldn't have been as threatened by a Bron/Amare or Bron/Rose or Bron/Dwill combo as they were by Bron/Wade. The issue isn't how good people thought Wade or any of those other guys were. The issue is the the faux outrage that nikkas expressed and and the true feelings behind it and how much sillier it all is now.
You got your Stan glasses on bruh. Lebron was hated because of WHO he teamed up with and how he did it.
Had LeBron teamed up with an Amare or Bosh it wouldn't have been as bad. That jealousy shyt is stupid because even the legends were looking at him sideways.
All the statements from the old heads reek of jealousy. But of course since it's what you wanna hear you cant' see that. I get it. 
You don't think legends were jealous of him taking control of his career in a way that they either never could have or never thought to do.You don't think some of them are jealous of his gifts are the fact that the amount of money he's making off the court trumps what they made on the court and that he pretty much did it all without having to win a ring or go through most of the stuff that they did.
As far as the how goes, nobody had a problem with how he did it because they tuned in record numbers to watch the shyt. It's amazing how quickly nikkas can revise history. People were counting down to his FA and departure from CLE from the moment he entered the league and openly fantasizing about where he would go and watching with baited breath as he announced where he was going but they were mad at how he did it.
As far as who he teamed with, like I said nikkas immediately catapulted Wade to Don status after years of pretty much ignoring him in favor of the Bron vs. Kobe debate. Suddenly he's better than Bron when they team up. And I'm the one with stan glasses on?
are the old heads jealous of? The old heads are the ones right now saying Bron has a real chance to be better than Jordan. They didn't like at the time how Bron teamed up with a top 5 player. Only one revising history is you. now and isn't gonna be 25-27 ppg like he was in 2010. 
still love how wade goes from being the best player in the league tostatus all in a matter of 2 years.
lebron goes to the heat = "He's not the best player on his own team!"
wade gets off to slow start = "Damn Wade is garbage and washed up, he's the 3rd best shooting guard behind Kobe and Harden!"
wade starts balling again = "See, Lebron is playing with another top 5 player!"
the narrative on wade changes so fukking much around here, one week he's arguably the best player in the league who had to save lebron's career then the next week he's an old, overrated bum who's no better than james harden or russell westbrook
is it oochie wally or one mic?
Reason it's changed is because Wade is
You realize Wade woulda been Finals MVP in 11 had Bron not bytched up in the finals right
Y'all so quick to label it jealousy or hate because someone doesn't agree with your opinion
I listed what they were jealous of in the post you quoted and it's not just about basketball. Them nikkas all had great players (either top 5 or multiple top 15) when they won so what is the logical basis for criticizing Lebron for following the precedent that had been set?
The reason it changed is because Lebron has a ring, like I said it would at the time.
Had Lebron not bytched up he would have been MVP. The only reason Wade was the lead candidate was because Bron bytched up like he did.
