Finding it hard to continue to dislike Bosh.

Miami Heat though

Agreed. As a Celtics fan I have no trouble hating anyone who plays for the Heat.

As a Heat fan I can smile two times (three if you include '06) at this. ;)

Just messing though. All in good fun.

I find it interesting people rag on sportspeople when they seem to care about money too much, yet when guys give up money to have a better chance at a championship, somehow that's wrong as well.

It's like because Cleveland happened to be shitty the year before the draft, they deserve Lebron James' eternal servitude.

Worth mentioning for those unaware that Cleveland was LeBron's hometown state. When your fame and occupation is built around the religious fervour that is fandom, I don't think it's outrageous for people to like the idea that a hometown hero can elevate their team to greatness. Especially when said hero remarks that he'll persist until he wins it all for them.

(NBA fan, but not a Cleveland or Miami fan.)

Yeah, he's moved up a notch in my book with this.
