Why are the Heat are hated? They are hated by people who recognize hard work and loyalty matters. That no one is "entitled" to anything.
The problem is the younger generation in this country is drowning in the entitlement mindset like a fish in water, surrounded by it and not even realizing it. It's all they know.

Why are the Heat are hated? The Heat represent taking the modern short-cut to glory. They represent a lack of loyalty and dedication to team work. Other great teams in the past were built by trades, draft picks, etc by the organization (See the Lakers, Bulls, etc.). The Heat were DESIGNED in 2008 and constructed in 2010 driven by the PLAYERS. The whole idea was trying to neutralize a challenge, to avoid one player having too much pressure on them.

Why are the Heat are hated? There is a large segment of people in America who respect fighters, who respect those who rise to the challenge, who respect loyalty, and who respect someone WANTING to earn their way.

To Lebron, Wade, Bosh, and Allen: To you I say congrats. Congrats on "winning". But don't complain when others, those who know love the old fashioned American way, aren't that impressed.

And to the Heat “fans” aka the band-wagoners: Congrats on outing yourselves as weak-minded cowards who are so afraid of challenges you tremble at the thought of cheering for one.

So 3 of Kobe's rings are tainted.

Shaq showed no dedication to teamwork by leaving Orlando for Los Angeles via free agency.

TAINTED!!!!
