Besides being potentially juvenile, I'd love to hear a reasonable argument about why referring to the Heat as cHeat or Lakers as Fakers isn't "cool."
Are we hurting the organizations' feelings? How about the players' or the fans' feelings?
In my opinion, Wade is one of the dirtiest players in NBA history (lest we forget Rondo's elbow or the Collison shove), and I consider being dirty a form of cheating, and he and LeBron are two of the biggest floppers in the NBA, and I consider flopping a form of cheating. So, the name cHeat accurately refers to them, in my opinion.
And, for the Lakers... come on. Is there anything genuine about Los Angeles or the Lakers' Hollywood fan base? Nothing could be more fake, not even Jack Nicholson's peraly dentures. Fake defines Los Angeles. So, the name Fakers is apt.
You know what isn't cool, calling a Los Angeles basketball team the Lakers. There hasn't been a lake in the Los Angeles area since the Paleozoic area. When they left Minneapolis for LA they should have changed their name to the Glitz or the Glamor or the Showtime.
