What do you heat fans think of LBJ?

[Dr_Heat]

Neutral feeling.

Loved that we vacuumed his peak prime years and harnessed two titles out of it.

I concur

[fishfuego.]

Wade is Heat GOAT, and to me was the best player in the World in 2009. Should have been MVP. But had one horrible team cast and always had less talent around him when facing Lebron except 2005 and 06.

No doubt Wade would have won a second tittle without LBJ in time. Like many have said, I respect the man’s game, but I’m no true fan of his.

[Shootit]

Like him.

Just wish he told Riley that he was going to bounce back to Cleveland.

Greatest player to wear a Heat jersey.

I expected him to be more clutch then he ended up... I was shocked the times we had to hitch our wagon to Mario chalmers attacking the basket.

His performance shutting down Derrick rose was pretty darn epic... in fact I really did expect a more magic Johnson type fit.

All in all glad he showed up.... didn’t really watch him before he came and out side of the playoffs never made plans to watch him since he left.

I will never forget how LeBron marginalized Wade and then turned him into his bitch. Wade turned into a fashion diva for awhile. It was bloody disgusting. Wade finally snapped out of it after LeBron left.

Wade was a killer on the court when he won that first title. Maybe his knee had something to do with his rapidly declining play, but I was mad. (Wade was squatting 400lbs on his bum knee to try to keep up w LeBron, he was also too heavy and applying way too much pressure on the bum knee). I felt Wade became disinterested and became lazy in the game. This is why Pat didnt want to commit big money to Wade, surely. It was all about his brand. I never understood why. LeBron was busting his ass. LeBron became better because he was bigger and committed to improving his shooting (Wade's shooting actually got worse) but Wade had the better skills. Wade is smooth.

Of course these are all appearances from watching tv and I have no idea what really went on behind the scenes.

I was way too into it, obviously. OCD madness.

I can understand him not telling Pat, at the end of the day its a business. My biggest gripe with him, is he never thanked the Heat fans. That was intentional, and I never understood why. All he had to do in his dumb announcement was just say I would like to thank the heat fans for 4 years of amazing support. He couldn't do that ? Like, wow. That was so petty. The year after we lost to Dallas, every other single fanbase thought he was a joke. I remember the bits on ESPN calling Lebron possibly the biggest bust ever. Heat fans were the only people in literally the entire world who had his back in his lowest point of his career.
Then he goes back to the Cavs fan who for 4 years said the most horrible things they could think of about him and his mother.
I know players don't really care about fans all that much but every single player who leaves a franchise always thanks the fan base. It just something you do.

Appreciative that we got to have his prime years in a Heat jersey. One of the greatest players of all time spent a significant portion of his career in Miami. That's pretty damn cool.

Yeah it hurt when he left, but I always felt he was gonna bail at some point. He was here for a good time, not a long time.

Still a 2x MVP, All-NBA first teamer and 2x Champ in a Heat jersey. Can't take that away, nor the memories of that Big 3 era.

Lebron destroyed the league by making super teams ok, but hey it was worth it.

Nah.

My boy Bosh did that.

[Kobewade11]

I can understand him not telling Pat

I cant. When did Dan Gilbert or anyone in the Cavs front office for that matter ever publicly come out to bat for LeBron the way Riles did vs. Danny Ainge? All he did was give him the blueprint to win and the thanks we got was him giving us the run around like a snake. On the basketball court we gave him everything he could have asked for, why try to sabotage us on the way out? Now in the interviews he's always talking about things he learned from "the great pat riley" so phony I couldn't have been any happier when KD signed with GS.

I don't hate LeBron, I respect him, and what LeBron "the man" has done for the community, appreciate what he help WADE do with adding two more banners, but I hate how he destroyed our future. Why didn't we do a sign and trade to Cleveland like they did us. I felt we should have gotten back what we gave for him imo

[ElDoggo]

Now that Wade is getting back to form now he retires?
Has two three years left at least
Hitting the three better but i still would prefer a specialist

Weight usage was key for the knee
Now hes thin and quick

[Heat3]

F lebron

[Shackattack]

I was really pissed off when he left, but as time has gone by I am grateful for the 2 titles he helped bring here and I look forward to the day we retire his jersey in the rafters

[Shackattack]

I also like that he was with Cleveland for 11 years, only 1 title.

4 seasons with us. 2 titles
