All eyes on Miami

Today I read an article on NBA.com by Shaun Powell talking about what Miami is doing for the NBA right now. The popularity of the NBA has skyrocketed since LeBron made the decision and-whether you love the Heat or hate them- no one can miss a second of their games.

This is not surprising at all. I don't think anyone really expected two of the best 3 players in the league to go unwatched, especially if they happen to be wearing the same jersey. The Heat are evolving into a team like the New York Yankees or Dallas Cowboys (coincidentally, LeBron' favorite baseball and football team. I was lucky enough to be able go to the Heat at Nets game this season, and you would not believe you many LeBron, Wade, and Bosh jerseys I saw. The Heat are creating a following similar to the Lakers and Celtics, where no matter where they go they will have some fan base. However, those who do not love the Heat, hate the Heat. Most of it is out of jealousy. I notice a lot of New York Knicks shirts saying negative things about LeBron. To all the Knicks fans out there, you had your chance, your offer was not good enough, get over it.


LeBron, Wade, and Bosh are lifting the height up to heights unimaginable in a matter of weeks. If this continues, the Heat can reach platforms that took teams like the Celtics and Lakers centuries in a matter of years. With all the spot lights pointed at the new big 3, South Beach just got a lot hotter.
