LOL, Wade maybe gets fouled on a fast break but doesn't get the call, refuses to play defense leading to an easy 3 and continues whining to the refs to the point that he gets a technical.

D(bag) Wade T-d up with 3 minutes to go down by 10 (now 11 w/ free throw). I hope Miami loses by 1.

Wade has to be the most unlikeable player in the NBA.

pretty much the game. Fantastic finish by Wade, killed whatever Miami momentum was building.

Personally, Lebron's far more unlikeable IMO.

LeBron more unlikeable off the court and overall imo, Wade more unlikeable on the court.

And that's why I love the Thunder. Durant and Westbrook played a little hot potato because neither wanted the turnover at the end lol. If Wade and LeBron were in that situation, they would be stealing the ball from each other while attempting to dunk. No sportsmanship. Congrats on the dunk Wade, and on the loss.

 

And on the other hand, Durant is very similar to Rose from a humility stand point and he just wants to win. Love it.

from a Chicago sport fans perspective, yes.

 

from a basketball fan perspective, it's probably lebron.

 

but from a player's perspective, KG has gotta be the most unlikeable guy. I am not sure how many foes he has now, but he has been a complete asshole ever since he moved to Boston.

LeBron more unlikeable off the court and overall imo, Wade more unlikeable on the court.

Wade's more likeable off the court? With the "Family" things?

I dislike Wade more than any other basketball player since I've started watching the NBA (around the 2nd title of the Bulls first 3-peat). LeBron is 1A though. The thing about it for me though is that it was like this before any of this past summer's s***show happened. I don't hold any negative feelings towards Chris Bosh or Pat Riley, for example.

This just goes to show how bad "The Decision" was for Lebron that folks think about that more than Wade's family crap.

 

I dislike Lebron the player, but the person I've always found enjoyable... that is until "The Decision" and his acting like a supreme douche ever since.

 

However, Wade's stock has taken more of a hit with the family stuff. (in my mind)

I know I am in the minority, but I don't dislike LeBron. Part of the hate toward him is the unfortunate timing for his free agency's with the explosion of new-age media, which made every thing he said/did news. The Decision was a horrible PR move, but other than that, I don't think there is much for me to hate LeBron on.

My biggest issue is his willful decision to become at worst a 2nd fiddle on someone else's team, and at best the equal to a second Batman. I always saw Lebron as wanting HIS team and wanting HIS legacy.

 

That "decision" basically told me that he really doesn't give a crap about any of that... something that is unheard of when you think of greats like Magic, Bird, Jordan... and in present day Kobe and now what I'm seeing from Durant and Rose.

 

I think we did luck out that Lebron signed in Miami simply for the development we saw in Rose. He's been dominant all season long, and had Lebron been here he'd be at a fraction of what he is... Boozer's early season injury also helped perception because we didn't have the "Boozer made him better" excuse.

I think there's a few things.

 

The decision to walk off without shaking hands with any of Orlando's players after they lost in the ECF for 1 thing.

 

His ability to get coaches fired. Mike Brown for one, Spoelstra very close early in the season (where do you think those rumors about him getting fired came from, Lebron's brass of course).

 

His lack of taking responsibility. Every time he didn't make a game winning shot, he would blame everyone but himself.

 

So basically, Lebron looks out for 1 person and that's Lebron.

1) You're a Magic fan, so you remember this much more haha

2) That's true, but Spolestra is a bum though I agree bout Mike Brown

3) I don't know bout this one. During that five-game losing streak, LeBron basically said he would stop failing his teammates, that sounds like accountability/responsibility to me.

i will always wonder what the reaction to Lebron would have been if he would have said

 

"im taking my talents to New York"

or

"Im taking my talents to Chicago"

or

"Im taking my talents to NJ"

or

"im taking my talents to LAC"

 

 

Would people nationally still think he was a supreme douche? Is the reaction because he chose to be Robin instead of Batman? Is it just the entire process? Would we all be sitting here saying "The Decision was awesome, I loved watching him punk out Cleveland like that" or would we be saying "man, that was cold. I like him a little less right now."?

From my post only a few later...

I think if he'd gone anywhere, we'd still have sat there and said "The Decision" was pretty f***ing obnoxious.

I'll go one further and say even if he had stayed in Cleveland, feeling the need to put on that sort of production is indicative of the kind of clown he is. The only thing that did for me was make me appreciate the afore-mentioned Durants and Roses even more.

I used to like LeBaby before that, then I saw what a little b**** he can be when things don't go his way.

Trust me, there are things I don't like about players on all of my favorite teams. I still think Derrick Rose is a Dbag for having his brother take his SATs.

This is something that really never bothered me. It wouldn't have mattered if the NBA didn't have the dumb rule that players couldn't go straight to the pros out of high school. Thanks to that rule the bulls got D Rose though.

With Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks have effectively had the league's best offense and worst defense.

Why does that make him a dbag?
