LeBron James And Dwyane Wade: “No One Will Ever Be Able to Compare What We Went Through”

I’m a Miami Fan, and I’m tired of them playing the victim card…this is how we play into any dejector’s hands :/

I’m a Miami fan as well, but what they say is true. I’m not even being biased at this point, the amount of criticism they received was so overblown compared to the Lakers. Couldn’t go a day without hearing about how Miami “bought” a team, yet Kobe is the highest payed player currently, add in a Dwight Howard and Steve Nash… Sound familiar? Though I do agree with you sometimes they can be very defensive (See Charles Barkley versus LBJ and D.Wade). In all honesty, Miami fan aside, I think LeBron, D Wade and Chris Bosh have every right to complain about this. Why aren’t as many people raising pitchforks against the Lakers? Because people just want someone to hate. LeBron was the perfect candidate, leaving his home town for a bigger, badder team. The villian. Dwight has done the same (minus the home town part, plus getting your coach + GM fired) yet I have seen nowhere near as much criticism.

Hmm…that’s fair. I think the difference between the reaction to Howard’s move and Lebron’s is that the general fan, and most on-lookers hated ‘Bron for the public-nature of the whole thing. With Howard, I think he has gotten alot of grief, but more from avid fans and vets/analysts. Barkley’s gone off about him a couple times. With the Big 3, even though like you said, most of what they’re saying is true, media/fans will use any comments to do with it as “complaints”. It’d be so much better if they just left the responses to the hardwood, or to medium that can’t isolate particular things to make them sound whiney :/. Bit of a catch 22 really..

Nice shot at their ability to use the English language, Mr. ” No on one the Lakers.” Also, you realize they were asked the question, right? They weren’t going around telling anybody that would listen they had it worse. Also, by writing this senseless post, you are just proving their point. So congrats on getting a few hits and proving LeBron and Dwyane’s point for them.

Boo hoo. They especially have it hard when they are asking to be paid for the Olympics or throwing million dollar birthday parties for themselves.

I think the point is, neither of these guys have had it tough in life. The worst that has happened is they have been criticized for their own bad judgement. So to them, yes, the criticism is the worst thing they have endured. To the average person, it’s ridiculous to whine about being criticized for your own selfish behavior. Not hating on them, great players, probably pretty good guys, just grow up already, jeez.

PR disaster again, and again. Whoever does their PR is probably someone’s cousin because it has been handled awfully since day 1. Can’t believe they didn’t see this coming. They should have formed the big 3 behind closed doors and let ESPN talk all they would anyway with as limited information as possible. Then instead of that ridiculous coming out party they should have done a viral video campaign from the Heat website or something to really stir interest and excitement. Make well cut videos with awesome music of them PLAYING BASKETBALL. You’d be amazed how a video with some slow mo of something new creates anxious anticipation!

I like D wade and Lebron but their enormous egos are undeniable. Win some titles and be happy you over came your self inflicted adversity wounds. Lol.

Yet another crybaby writer from Boston who’s mad the Celtics are past their prime. Boo hoo.

“Neither of these guys have had it tough in life” Are you crazy, Wade grew up with a mom who became addicted to drugs and he could barely sleep at night. LeBron was extremely poor, even had to go live with another family at one point so that his mom could handle everything.

Well then you would think they would have some context when whining about this type of criticism.
