LeBron in HS doesnt count Rip...he was the most famous high school athlete we will probably ever see in our lifetime. Only one to even come close to his hype is Austin Rivers.
Doesn't matter, I'm one of very few who still support him.

You act like you know every Heat fan in the world? lol. I also barely see the few Heat fans here bragging lol.
Money has everything to do with it. If he didn't get the max deal he didn't deserve the dude would of left, it doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.
And all I'm saying is how can you respect the Hawks if that happened? lol.
And that's cool, but you seem to be trippin' on this Pistons fan opinion on the Hawks lol.
I know every heat fan in MY world and they aren't the humblest of people. Money doesn't effect the game, when your on the court it doesn't matter how much you're getting paid. In all honesty the financial side of the NBA has really taken away a lot of the fun of the league. I used to love watching the NBA a lot more when I didn't know about CAP's, expirings, and lockouts. It was just about the game. I'm from Atlanta rip, I would definitely enjoy Atlanta getting to screw the league over rather then the Heat. It's as simple as that, hometown bias but nah we can't even get respect for having a 4 time all-star.

Anthony Davis is definitely better.
Oh I guess that's understandable, Mike Gilchrist and him were the only ones I really think you could say are on his level..

How anyone can support that goddamn charade is beyond me. I don't understand it.

I mean, there's no doubt that they're talented as all hell, but how can anyone respect the way they play basketball? Flopping like a little bitch, then getting up, thumping your chest then smiling and wink at the ref? Grow some balls.

While I'm on your side for a lot of this arguement, I have to say. The way the Hawks carry themselves as a team leads toa lot of haters.

What is that, like 4? Likely bandwagon fans too? lol.
Okay lol. But that still doesn't take away from the fact JJ would of likely left if he didn't get the max deal. Did he deserve the max? No.
Exactly hometown bias. So don't you, or any other NBA fan, act like you wouldn't be happy bout the 3 of them teaming up on your squad.

The only player I'd think people would hate us for is Josh Smith, Zaza and occasionally Al Horford but come on man, our star player doesn't even talk during games most of the time. The most cocky play you'll see out of us is a flex here and there from Al, and a towel whip from Josh. It's not like we're dancing before or during games our calling out players on other teams. We're pretty humble imo

Lol I like how you underplay Zaza and Smith. Smith, more than others (but others do too), carry themselves like back-alley homies. Zaza is the biggest bitch in the league. Basically whenever they make the playoffs his job is to get a star player on the other team suspended for a game.

I live in florida. There are 4 Miami Heat fans every 5 people you see. It's in the past now man I had no control over JJ's pay then, and I still don't now. I'm just a fan of the team. I'm saying I'd be happy about players selling out to come play for MY team. I wasn't happy about Boston getting the big 3 so why am I gonna be happy about Miami getting D-Wade and LeBron? I don't ask for much, I don't rub wins in anyones face if they haven't said things that urge me to do it. I give credit where it's due

Zaza is aigh. I've never been a big fan of him or his game. Josh Smith doesn't really do anything that wild. Whatever he does, other players do x2 more. He doesn't scream after every dunk and tip-in like a Bosh or a Joakim. The most he does is complain about calls but look how many other players do that! None of our players are huge trash talkers or anything like that man.

I know you don't. I just said JJ is the most overpaid player in the league. lol.
I didn't say you should be happy for any team. I'm not happy for Miami for putting their team together. I'm just saying quit degrading their team, players, and fanbase, when you would be acting the same damn way if it was your team.
