Why do you hate them so much? I can understand some of the hate, but that only goes to a certain point. Lebron's become a better person recently and I respect him for what he has done. I also don't understand suddenly hating the Thunder, because if you hate them for not being able to beat the Heat, then you should hate every team because none of them were able to beat them. I'm not much of a Heat fan, but I respect them and I'm happy that their hard work paid off.
I have ethical problems with "bending" the rules of salary cap and all that, just to win the ring. The union didn't work as hard as it did so scrubs can make decent money, and superstars like LeBron have private yets and 12,000 square foot 2 story houses just to keep their shoes in...
Just so guys take (by pay scale) massive paycuts, to form "all-star" teams just to win a ring. I think it disrespects the players before. I think it disrespects the sport, it disrespects the fans, and it teaches the youth a horrible message of what is ok and what isn't.
I really don't like youth being taught "It's ok if you can't be the very best, or beat the very best, just team up with them instead". It's just further establishing elitism, and further promoting mediocrity.
Why should USA try and even win Gold Medals anymore? Let's just absolve the countries that beat us. Let's make Jamaica (as example) part of the USA, so we can claim all the gold medals Usain Bolt brings, since we can't beat him. Then we don't even have to bother training or practicing or working hard in his events anymore, because he can carry us. Its the same thing.
My nba career was short lived, but atleast I can say i don't feel like I brought dishonor to the game, although I have first hand seen someone, with a rap label, whom has.
