BTW, Miami was 15th in the NBA in attendance last year, which is pretty impressive for how bad of a team as they had. That's actually a pretty impressive showing by their "fans".
And please don't say that every city has better things to do. Have you ever been to Miami? They have great music, clubs, art, food, celebrities everywhere, beach, shopping, fashion. It's nothing like Cleveland and I'm sorry if you think you can compare the two.
Oh 15th? Well that changes everything! Here I thought they were poor fans, but in reality they're just mediocre! They weren't even THAT bad of a team -- finished 5th in the east and still had one of the most entertaining players in the league.
I'm sure Miami is a great city with plenty to do -- but do the residents who've lived there for years and years feel as passionate about their city as you do? Perhaps they've been there, done that, seen it all. I've lived in rural Ohio all my life, so if you put me in Cleveland, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, or Miami then I'm going to find new ways to entertain myself that I've never really had.
Bottom line is I'm a fan because I choose to be -- the shitty Ohio climate doesn't force me to be.
