How many titles will Lebron and the Heat win?

Oh please, Kobe gets the most hate in the NBA and amongst the majority of the fans. Lebron is the media's poster child. He can do no wrong, even when he does wrong. Kobe does things right and gets scrutinized for it. Let's not talk about unfair.

Also I believe Bron will possibly only win one more. Whether he's with the heat or not, who knows. But the NBA gave this title to him. It was so extremely obvious. I wish the Thunder had a killer instinct (which would've overcome the disparity of the refs/league) because we'd be talking about how many Durant would get right now.

The championship is coming out of the West next year ( OKC, Dal, LAL, SA).

I'm so happy 98% of ya'll don't come in the NBA forums -- some of these opinions are just 'hate' -- nothing informative in them.

I'm a Die Hard Cleveland fan. So, obviously, I dislike the Heat greatly... I don't like like how LeBron left, but he was within his Free Agent rights to go wherever he wanted... I think the problem that people have with how the Heat came together, is that never before have the Players dictated the situation like the LeBron and Bosh did... Usually, the Team puts players in place, via trade or draft or whatever... The fact that the Players all agreed to take less money, and build this thing like they did in Miami is where I think most of the Heat Hate comes from...

However, with that being said... I think the rest of the NBA is in trouble for the next 5 years... We've all been saying - "when they figure it out, watch out" - Well, these guys in Miami have been together for 2 years, and they've gone to back to back NBA Finals... Last year they were up on Dallas 2-1 before Dallas won 3 straight... This year, they pretty much controlled the entire Series vs a much younger OKC Team...

Now that they've won, we're already hearing rumors about veteran players like Jason Terry and Ray Allen wanting to play their...

I don't see them slowing down one bit... As much as it pains me to say, I see at least 2 or 3 more Championships in the next 5 years for this team...

I agree... Like I said in my previous post, I obviously hate LeBron for what happened in Cleveland... But as time has gone on, I can't really be mad at him for wanting a better team to play with... Although I do think he could have one at least 1 title here, I can see his perspective on this...

Also, Miami or Cleveland? As a young, rich athlete, where would you rather play ball?

Despite how much I dislike him however, I simply can't ignore the fact that he's the best player in the game... Kevin Durant is 2nd, but its not really as "close" as everyone was making it seem... Durant doesn't play Defense like LeBron does, and Durant doesn't rebound or pass as well as LeBron does... Is Durant a better scorer? Yes, without question... He's the best pure scorer in the league today, but when you say someone is the BEST, you have to take into account their entire game, and LeBron shines above the rest in every single category.

Are you crazy? They do not have the tools to win more than Jordan or Kobe. This team would have not beat Boston if Bosh didn't return. Once he returned the Celtics had to defend differently, which created more space for Bron and Wade to create. This team has to reload in the off-season if they want to win again next year. Battier is old, while Miller and Howard may retire since they got their ring. There are way to many holes to fill before you can guarantee these guys multiple titles. With all that said I voted for 2-3 option, I believe they only get one more than the big three get broken up.

Hm, this is actually the thing I would expect people to respect, if anything. The fact that superstar players were willing to take a pay cut for the sake of the team.
