Why is Wade and Bosh not getting the hate they did when James was there?

[Hey Yo]

Aren't they still part of the so-called "collusion" from 4yrs ago?

Wasn't that the main reason the Heat were hated because of the so-called "colluding" that Wade, James and Bosh did?

[riseagainst]

why would Wade get hate when he's the former FMVP on the Heat and has been on the Heat since day 1? And Bosh was never a 2 time MVP and the supposed "King" or best player in the league.

welcome to the nba where 90% of fans hate lebron for no apparent reason. The double standard is real.

[gilalizard]

They did collude. They were grossly stacked. And their rings are tarnished and not impressive because of it.

LeFlop skipped town though, to run off to what he thinks is a better situation. Hardly surprising considering what a colossal douche he's proven himself to be, but it also had the effect of downgrading Miami from a shamelessly stacked ego trip into a still skilled and competitive contender. Essentially, this is what they should of been all along. Now they really have to work for their success, not rely on stacking up shameless amounts to have it easy (as LeFlop himself gloated about).

The hate was there but Lebron was more heavily hated because:

1. It's Wade's team. He wasn't the one saying not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not...Wade was always pretty humble. Only knock is that he's prone to injury and the media/fans didn't shy away from that.

2. Bosh was never considered a top 5 player in the league or even a championship #1 option. He's a tall dude though so he did get the "soft" label for coming up short in rebounds.

3. Lebron was the unquestioned best player in the league. Lebron left his hometown state even after going back to back 60 win seasons. He also did the decision.

So you're essentially admitting that Wade, Bosh, and the rest of the Heat didn't have to work the last 4 years, and that Lebron basically carried them?
Bron's haters don't even realize they give him more credit than his fans do.

So why aren't we seeing threads from Lakers, Bulls fans etc.... ridiculing the Heat when they lose this year? Why aren't these so-called 2 "colluder's" still not getting the hate like they did when James was there?

Such an informative and respectful post

Lebron collude again this year (Even if Love doesn't go there he would be playing with 5 player who were top 5 in the draft). Bosh could've gone to the Rockets and played in a stacked team with D12, Haren and Parsons but turn down, he got a lot of respect right there.
Wade never collude, it was his team already,

Probably because they're not stacked anymore? Lebron was also the head of the monster so once that was chopped off, those who viewed the Heat in a negative light will obviously have less incentive to give a shit. Hating on a "decent" team with mild expectations just doesn't carry the same punch or fun as it does an elite one.

[Nuff Said]

Lebron always was the most hated. Absolutely nothing has changed.

But I was told and saw posts (over the last 4yrs) repeatedly saying that Wade, James and Bosh colluded.

Now all of a sudden Wade wasn't part of the so-called collusion?? Where did the hate go?

[Hey Yo]

Exactly.

because James with good teammates threatens Kobe and MJ. Fans of those 2 players would rather have seen LeBron stay and rot in Cleveland with Jamison and Boobie Gibson.

It's not as fun hating on a projected 4th/5th seed with lowered expectations and less star power. Fans simply don't care as much...

There's your answer...
