All of this talk is textbook racist sentiment used to devalue and discredit Black genius while wedging whiteness and white men into the discussion by way of giving them credit and holding them responsible for Black greatness. #HeatCulture

I can honestly say only white Heat fans do this too. You actually see white fans of other teams hold their front offices accountable and don't just blow them and pretend they are perfect. Riles got that fan base fully on code with white supremacy and the infallible identity of old white males. I hope jondoe and the Heat fans know all this energy is coming back when Riley passes. That's when our jokes drop.

This is a few months old and this is why they traded Poole

Receipts, footage >>> nostalgic memories, lazy narratives

When you look at MJ in a nuanced manner you realize just how much Gen X overrated him for confirmation bias over his sneakers.

This shit terrible
Ain't nobody arguing like this in no other sport
Nobody arguing LT vs Deion, Aaron vs Ruth Ali vs Floyd Bolt vs Jessie to the point of fighting

Couldn't make the playoffs though? Not win It all, not make a long run, couldn't make it at all? With the 2nd best shooting guard ever let folks try to tell it? In the weak east as they use to call it?

Just look at the roster for that year and see how many games they played and be honest with yourself

Wade played 60+ games. He pose to be the 2nd best shooting guard ever was in the weak east as they called it.

Kram Session: The Greatness of the NBA’s Old Guard Remains Astonishing

The late-career production of LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Kevin Durant is unprecedented. Plus, Victor Wembanyama isn’t the only rookie defensive standout, and how do we know whether a player is breaking out or on a hot streak?

Tell them what? They're all losers. Heat have no culture... unless you mean fucking over your organizations greatest player and running Bron off because you bought into the fake mafioso bullshit the media labeled you with. The same clowns who trashed Bron for losing a bunch of finals appearances point to Heats losing two finals appearances since 2013 as some sort of proof of the greatness and sustained existence of heat "culture".

3 years prior to James Heat averaged 30 wins. 3 years post James Heat missed postseason twice. What culture?

"Everybody who doesn't win a championship is a loser."

That's so ignorant... The Heat were a top tier team in the late 90s. Gave Jordan's Bulls plenty of trouble. You make it sound like there's no distinction to be made between them and the Bullets.

Same presti is the only person good at drafting consistently

Hes terrible at everything else

I just wished he could produce the same way in the playoffs.

Yeah, he can do all that in the regular season with no problems.

Its professional sports. Its the ultimate binary bottomline of competitive prowess. The literal goal from competition standpoint is to win. The literal team goal is to win. By definition, those guys are career losers. Sorry.

The Miami Heat of the 90s were the definition of mediocrity. They advanced past round one ONE TIME.. in a league where more teams make the playoffs than not. There is nothing "top tier" about that. #HeatCulture

Fans pay good money and are most engaged when he loses and is allowed to get beat up by his opponents. It's a business first, integrity second.



This young white supremacists parents have already taught him how to tell a good nigga joke.

Why would we ruin this by good officiating? This is golden!!

As a fan both runs were great.
Big 3 silencing the critics and haters

Love them both
