Oh my God. A vortex just opened up in my brain. It's just that none of the Heat are criminals. Plus the Gasol "trade" was just as evil as this.

boycott?

I guess maybe the Heat

Sort of like rooting for someone during the Iran/Iraq war

I don't root for either.  I don't even watch.  I go dancing!

I was getting brainwashed by the mainstream New York media last night until I eventually stepped back, tried to put it into context, gained some perception... and now I fully support LeBron.  The guy decided money, fame and ego weren't that important.  He didn't want to be the "King of New York".  He didn't want the pressure of saving some loser city in Cleveland who acted like the burdon was on him.  The heck with that.  I would have bailed on them too.  Instead... he decided he'd rather just go move to a beach town and play with his buddies.   I respect that.   Good for him.  He wants to share the spotlight and play some sick basketball.  That team is going to be a joy to watch.  I'll be rooting for them in the Finals vs the Lakers.

I can't root for either.  I hate the Lakers and Kobe and I might hate Lebron just as much or more.  I would root for Wade, but not with Lebron on the team.

I choose to root for neither.

Ha, wow you all will hate me, but I voted Lakers.

I'm 26, so didn't become a basketball fan until after the real Celtics/Lakers rivalry.  As a basketball fan, I've always admired Kobe's abilities and competitive drive.

Lebron James disgusts me.  I can't root for him ever.  I do like Wade, don't mind Bosh.  But Lebron might ruin it the whole team for me.

How can you vote for the Lakers after what just happened this past Finals?

Money, fame, and ego weren't important?  

Please. What is he going to make, like 90 million or more over five years? He may get at least a couple rings, and he's not losing any endorsements. I'm sure his new Miami jerseys are selling like crazy.  And he and his crew set up this show with ESPN.

I agree they'll be fun to watch if they can find someone to shoot the ball, and they'll probably be great for basketball. And if they play the Lakers, they better kick their butts.

I will root against the Lakers even if the other team is coached by lucifer and their starting five is constructed with daemons.

If it was Heat and Lakers in the Finals, people would seriously root for the Lakers to tie the C's in rings rather than root for the Heat?  Get a grip people.  This is a no brainer.

Look, I hate the Lakers just as much as any Bostonian, but I at least have respect for them as our rival and for Kobe for winning 5 titles, and the last two being the lead dog on that team. What LeBron has done is disgusting by dissing his hometown of Cleveland and making this whole decision thing a complete joke. He is now a glorified sidekick to Wade in Miami, because let's be honest here...that is Wade's team, Wade's town, and Wade's 06 championship banner hanging in the rafters at American Airlines arena. Let's just call Lebron the new Pippen. Lebron Pippen.

If these two teams meet in the Finals next year I will not even watch. I hate the Lakers and will never root for them, but I cannot root for this unholy Miami superteam. I say to hell with them both. GO CELTICS

This is a moot point....I think the Celtics are going to be in the Finals again.
