No, his haters did.
Miami gave us exciting basketball, classic highlights and playoff moments, it helped transition the league.
The league had always celebrated great teams with multiple All-Stars and Hall of Famers. The championships were seen as team accomplishments. The league marketed and celebrated teams.
Today the NBA is a scapegoat for people where they let off the steam of their day to day lives denigrating athletes and projecting their false sense of masculinity onto them and longing for eras they never really even lived through.
“LeBron you’re a bytch for going to play in sunny Miami, with no state taxes, in the prime of your life, with fukking Pat Riley wining and dining you showing you championships, to play with your two friends who are also great players. U should beat the Celtics even when your team is at a talent deficit. U not a real man!”
