POLL: Should LeBron's # Be Retired?

[xMADEinDADEx]

Bron made sure that he got the Cavs first round picks from us, he made sure we got diddly **** from them. He's not Miami and probably never was.

You sound bitter.
Instead of those "4 years of first round picks", we got 4 finals appearance and 2 rings. OH BOO HOO!
Wahh, wahh.

We wouldn't even be guaranteed 1st picks. And to think that heat fans.. HEAT FANS are whining and bitching over picks when the end result is to get the nba championship.. Which we had a shot at within those 4 years.. Wow sign me up for that every 4 years pls!!

You all.. And I mean it with the most sincere part of my heart sound like annoying little wade fans.

As your signature says.. Lebron played for us. He brought a lot of good to this franchise.
Instead of acting like spoiled brats, let's remember first off how many titles we have as a franchise.

Hang up his # to thank him. AND MOVE ON.

Jesus Christ. I can only Imagine some of you react to a breakup.

I only sound bitter to a Lebronnee.

I've stated many times that I'm happy we got him and won. You keep going on as though we won only because of Lebron which is ****, sure we wouldn't have won without him, but we wouldn't have won without many other players too. YOU are overestimating Lebron's value because you are a lebronnee.

I'm not happy with the way he left because I'm a Heat fan. He is ungrateful and slimy and clearly not a Heater - he left after being helped to win 4 and 2.

It's funny you bring up my signature. That's how I feel, player played, player left, he's not Miami now. Your sig is even more revealing. The guy has gone and you have to celebrate a NON-HEAT player in your sig. Would you think it's normal if I had a "love Kobe" sig. We are not butthurt but maybe you are buttsore from the bending over you do to a non-heat player. You are a player fan and that player fan is no longer Miami.

We put up with player fans when that player is on OUR team. we don't need to put up with player fans when they are gone. You should decide if you are a Heat fan or a Lebron fan first.

No clown, instead of assuming things you might waves stop acting as if you have an idea of what you're talking about.

My sig is based on the dumb ass hate SOME heat fans have towards bron. Whether you wanna whine about it or not, many, MANY heat fans are grateful with what lebron has done for us.

Next time before assuming that I'm a "lebronee" you might wanna slap yourself and wonder why I'm not in the cavs forum and instead here. And dude, for someone who non stop posts in this forum, you sure sound hypocritical over talking about obsessing over lebron. Jesus Christ.

Only rational, level-headed heat fans will get what we're saying..

Anyways, that's enough lebron talk for a full year. Time to focus on our team and roster improvements.

Yet your sig is still for a non-heat player

So is yours lmao
You sound really stupid.

[xMADEinDADEx]

The thanks for doing your job is usually payment for services rendered. Honors are reserved for something more than that.

He is easily a top 5 heat player EVER.
He's done much more than many heat players who have played double the amount of time as him.

To me it's more about quality than quantity.
But I'm more of a business minded individual.. So there's that.

Obviously I'm not saying he is equal to a wade, Zo, or ud but this isn't a loyal thing.
I absolutely agree that he goes up after wade and ud go up, but to say he shouldn't go up when he's literally on the top 10 on 90% of our franchise's stats is incredible. No denying that.

Sorry.

You digging deeper.

Some of us have been successful businesspeople for over 30 years just as some of us have been married for over that long (just to cover the stupid point you made in a previous post).

Nice way to miss the point and focus on that single one. Again.. Reading comprehension problems at it's finest. Sigh

[xMADEinDADEx]

Tell that to the fans, players, organization that were counting on making a historic accomplishment of 5 straight Finals appearances.

This man let everyone down for his own selfish reasons.

He was not thinking of a banner when he took off. He does deserve one. IMO.

Oh and about the business mentality comment. That's all I do. Business . But that's for an entire different topic possibly on another forum.

Good night.

Bro. For once in your life stop making decisions based off of rumors.
We do not know if lebron already told Riley.
We do not know if lebron already informed the heat organization before hand.

All we do know is that lebron didn't tell anyone and that NOONE in the media knows exactly what happened between the heat and lebron.

Everyone here saying lebron is selfish and blah blah when his game isn't selfish and the reason why players even came here were because of a family like atmosphere, is pretty funny.
Miller/ray/Rashard/Birdman all praised lebron for treating teammates as family.

So excuse me if I laugh at a person's opinion( who btw got that opinion based on assumptions of lebron rather than true hard facts) who is claiming as if all this **** is true.

And what part of this team even with lebron in would scream championship over the spurs?
Not only do we suck at rebounding, but we also barely got deng who came to us as many reporters reported "because of money available from lebron not coming back".

The spurs will be the fav until Duncan retires. That's just what it is dude.

You are sounding more and more bitter and lebronee.

You're answer to rumours is rumour.

Then you attack the Heat's play even though we've won more championships in the last decade than any other.

Please read your own posts - relaise that you are NOT a heat fan and go follow another team.

It's like your posts get dumber and dumber.
First off, nice way of using "bitter" cos I called you out on that. You're a bitter little baby.

Second, rumors are rumors. If you don't think that I'm basing my thought process on lebron based on facts, you're really slow in the head.

I'm the one basing my appreciation for lebron bases on facts. You're the one who is getting worked up over rumors regarding what lebron did during free agency.

The fact is, my dear uneducated "fan", is that we DO NOT KNOW if lebron let wade/Riley know beforehand.

Only thing we know for a fact, is nothing was leaked to the public. Our franchise is known for that. So I wouldn't be surprised if we knew about it beforehand and went to sign on granger and co.

Again, you're sounding like a big hypocrite. And a whiny little bitch.

Sorry.

I don't think UD ever goes up. He's on the other end of the spectrum ... a lifer and loyal, but not a good enough player to merit the honor. IMO retiring a jersey should be reserved for high quality performance over an extended period of time. Retiring a number should be reserved for players who define a franchise. I love Tim Hardaway, but I think retiring his number was going overboard. He was here less than 5 1/2 seasons. I suppose if that is going to be the standard, then Lebron will get his number retired, but I won't like it.

He's the heart and soul of our Franchise. And based on how he got to the nba, and the amount of money he refused to STAY HERE (Done it 3 times now). IMO we should.

Besides, What is Miami if Mr. 305 isn't up?

[xMADEinDADEx]

The spurs will be the fav until Duncan retires. That's just what it is dude.

WTF??? The mighty Spurs with their current core was declared DEAD years ago. The fact that they made it back 2 years in a row and won it last season is a testament to doing the exact opposite of what Lebron did, and not accepting that their run was over as you seem so ready to do with the Heat. The Spurs persevered ... Lebron ran for the door.

Dude.. Spurs always went through an injury problem because they didn't have the personnel to handle the pressure while Duncan, Parker and ginobli sat days out.
After much tinkering, it looks like pop found the right rotation tweak..

I think you're missing the point..
They're well coached, and a good TEAM.
Us last year to this year is still an unknown.

Obviously anything can happen like an injury or something, but if everyone's healthy, spurs are still the better team..
Just my opinion.

A motivated wade doesn't cure how they abused us down low, rebounding, passing, etc.

They just had all cylinders clicking.

[number1joker]

blah blah blah....

You are obsessing over Lebron. Getting your panties in a twist because some people don't want his jersey retired. You should move on and support the Heat. We can discuss his jersey again in 10 or 15 years time.

So is yours lmao
You sound really stupid.

You should probably educate about Palestine better too instead of jumping on another bandwagon. You probably haven't been alive since it started as some of us have but it's far more complicated than your simple mind makes out. Both sides are wrong but then again that's too complex for you isn't it?

I love the way you defend yourself using rumours.

And please refrain from the childish insults like clown, Bitch, baby etc... I'm sure that these are not in keeping with forum rules.

[Roger Mexico]

Of course it should be. The greatest Heat player ever. 4 years, 4 finals and 2 championships? Is Wade Mr. Heat? Of course he is. No one player meant more to the fan base than Wade. However, James is the best player in Heat history. Of course you're a Wade fan, so the whole Heat variable doesn't man too much.

[Grumpy Heat Fan]

I wonder how many votes up there are from trolling opposing fan bases. Or outsiders in general skewing our voting poll.

If the Heat ever retire that piece of **** 's jersey, I will stop watching Heat basketball.

I would not be able to root for a team with such low self-respect. We didn't retire Snaq's, and we shouldn't retire the snake's either.

No. The best player in Heat history is Dwyane Wade.

Those 2 Finals MVP's are only because the Big 3, specifically Wade, allowed him to win them.

[G-Money41]

Yeah sure why not?
We retired(rightfully) Tim Hardaway who gave us 4 straight Atlantic Div. titles in 5 years and LeBron helped us to reach the Finals four straight times and winning two titles...

One day you will see #33 #10 #3 #40 #1 #6 hanging from the rafters!

[Grumpy Heat Fan]

Tim Hardaway was traded away after he got too old and our run was over because Zo got kidney disease. He is a Heat lifer.

The other guy left us after 4 straight Finals and in the middle of our run.

What? The Heat reached the NBA Finals. Just because the Spurs beat us, does not mean the run is over.

The Spurs lost in 2013 Finals, and they came back strong.

We could have done the same thing. The snake robbed our fans and our team of that chance. You cannot make the claim that a team that was just in the NBA finals 4 years in a row, was "over". It was not over, and you can't convince me of that in a million years

The piece of **** abandoned Wade, Riley, Arison, the fans, and the team in the middle of our run for his personal gain.
