mehh when fb and other social media blows up with my heat we are champions blah blah

the players lead them to a team. if lebron went to the mavs, they'd be "mavs" fans

they're really lebron fans

no they didn't. even people in chicago didn't stay bulls fans...esp back in the black hole of the curry/chandler era

It's really not much different. Rooting for Miami in this series doesn't make some one a Heat fan.

You are proving my point. There is no true loyalty in this country for hard work as a TEAM. It's all ME ME ME ME ME which translates to:

your presumption is that this is a new concept, when it's not. your perception bias is fueling your trolling

a great example is your "team." the lakers are losing market share to the clippers.

I just don't agree with this. They fell off the map for a long time after Jordan. Chicago is huge. Their away fan base isn't any bigger then it should be.

I wonder how many Jordan fans are still die hard Bulls fans?

EVERYONE who wasn't from an NBA market was more than likely a Jordan fan.

I don't know why people get hated on for cheering for LeBron.

people rooting for a certain team in the playoffs when their team is out of it is absolutely not a bandwagon fan. i find the only way i can enjoy postseason when the hornets/pels aren't there is to find teams to root for or against. bandwagon fans are the ones who all of a sudden claim them as their favorite team with no ties to that area or any history of rooting for them

Remember when Kobe was incessantly whining about his situation in 2008 and begging to be traded? Only after they got Gasol did Kobe become "loyal" to the Lakers. He wanted out too.

So @theunknownknight do you go fishing with people you don't like? Go to sporting events? Have poker nights with them? No you do what you love with your friends. In case you forgot D Wade and LBJ are great friends from team USA. You have a problem with elite players going to play with their friends.


And lets be real you're upset because as long as LBJ was in Cleveland he would never win a title and you could always call him "the ringless" king. Now he's on a good team and is winning titles and is now viable in the conversation with your precious Kobe. Quit being petulant and jealous. It's embarrassing. Embrace that Lebron is great and quit hating a team who simply brought in available FA's.

1. Before the season and HE STAYED...aka that means loyal for the tards
2. The Lakers were FIRST in the West BEFORE Gasol that year. They gave up Marc Gasol to get Pau AFTER Bynum went down
