Lebron James (Los Angeles Lakers)

I don't understand anyone that can see any joy in the Heat winning a title with Lebron unless that person were a fan of the Heat or had an unhealthy hate for Cleveland.

There is a third group, and I fear some are amongst us: those that love LeBron more than life itself.

Regardless, to root for Miami at this point puts you in a significant minority.

Things I'd rather see than LeBron ever win a championship, in order:
  1. The end of the world.
  2. Mark May become Emperor of the Americas.
  3. The extinction of cats and dogs.
  4. Tupac rising from the dead, only to purchase the Clippers and bury the Nets in the first gangsta-rap rivalry settled on the court.
  5. Justin Bieber coming out as a hermaphrodite and beginning a massive political movement to allow them to marry whoever the [censored] they want.
  6. Cleveland use their 1st round draft pick on Drew Carey.
  7. Dan Fouts marry my mother.
  8. The abolishment of the BCS, subsequently followed by the establishment of the WSRCS (where the top teams from each conference let their post season play out in a no-holds-barred Wii Sports Resort tournament).
  9. The Betty White, Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick, and Valerie Bertinelli sex tape.
  10. Etc.

I think what ArmyVet is saying is that [even if] the Heat wins a championship it will be Wade's team and not James', and that will give him satisfaction, not the Heat winning.

I got that much. Still don't get why any Cleveland fan would "want" that. It's obvious Lebron doesn't care about being Robin to Wade's Batman. So what joy is in that?

Here's the only scenario that would make me "want" Miami to win the title: Lebron gets seriously hurt and they win it without him; then the next year when he's healthy, they lose it with him. Oh please, baby Jesus, make it happen.

However, I would get some smug satisfaction that Lebron could win on a WADE led team and not a team led by Lebron himself.

Kind of like seeing an old girlfriend who was ultra hot when she was with you but after she dumped you, you saw her a few years later after she had a kid or two and you say to yourself that I'm glad I did not end up with that. Make sense now or am I still comitting sports bigamy?? :biggrin:

Seems a closer analogy would be getting dumped by your ultra hot girlfriend, then running into her a couple years later when she and her new husband have just won the Powerball lottery. Yeah, maybe he's the one who actually bought the winning ticket, but she's wearing his ring on her finger, and her name is still on the joint bank account the hundred-million is being deposited into. Meanwhile, you're left without either a hot girlfriend or tons of money. Additionally, because your failed relationship with the rich hottie has afforded you a degree of notoriety, you also suffer the ongoing indignity of being the nightly punchline in Jay Leno's opening monologue.

Stops short of my criteria for inducing "smug satisfaction."

And this is closer to my thoughts and feelings.

I heard from unnamed sources that DWade and Lebron were seen outside of a Vermont government building and Lebron was reportedly wearing a white dress and sporting a large rock on his left ring finger...

No word yet on whether the large rock was, in fact, DWade's 2006 championship ring.
