The team he's most associated with, or was with the longest? The team he had the most success with? Do you find a new player and start rooting for his team? Just too much inconsistency for my liking. For all we know LeBron could take the Shaq route and end up on a few more teams before he retires leaving SQ with a whole lot of different jerseys.

Who knows, he could. Actually, my favorite player pre-LeBron is still playing. Grant Hill. I was a fan of the Magic and Pistons at one point in my day. LeBron took over for reasons other than just being a better player. But I don't expect people to believe stories on the internet so I'll keep them to myself. Anyways, I'm not ashamed of my fanhood in any way, shape or form and I think those who question others are either insecure about their own--or jealous--or both. But either way, I don't care who you are a fan of and I'm not trying to make it front page news on the OC. So can't we just move on? No one should be shocked that I'm a Heat follower, I never once said anything other than I was a LeBron fan first. Did that mean I was a Cavs fan? Yes, I'm a fan of whatever team my favorite player is on.

I don't see why anyone who has any basketball knowledge would tell sq to not wear his Lebron Miami Heat jersey in Cleveland, which btw- sq_craies claimed a million times on here that Lebron was NOT leaving Cleveland.

Will that just make your day? I will, but I'll have to ask. I don't have the tickets, my girlfriend bought them for me. It's funny that you think I'm scared. I'm not trying to be a hardass, I'm trying to go cheer for my favorite player. I'm not scared at all, go ahead, someone dump a beer on me. I'll laugh at your while you're being hauled out of the arena and miss your opportunity to watch the Cavs get spanked by 30.

And? You're right, I did. What is your point? I honestly didn't think he was going to leave. So again, what is your point? I also stated many times that I didn't care and even that if I were him I would move on to Miami or somewhere with Chris Bosh.

This is a good point. If he's a stupid/arrogant in real life as he is on here, things will take care of themselves. ;)

For pro sports I'm a player fan. I'm not going to be a Browns fan and secretly love watching Troy Polamalu play while I tell everyone how much I hate him. I've always been this way, except with baseball--but I am that way with baseball to an extent as well. College is different. But that's just me. Unreal how many people have a problem with it. Jealousy will get you nowhere I always say.

How is it jealousy? I am simply stating my view on it. And I think that 99% of other sports fans feel the same. Are we all just jealous when a fan of a PLAYER gets to celebrate and fans of our TEAM don't? I can tell you with absolute certainty that I am not and will not be jealous if a fan of Lebron gets to celebrate him winning something. I would be more inclined to be jealous of the lifelong fan of a team as that's the type of person and fan I am. I don't aspire to be the fan of a player so what is there to be jealous of?

Actually it was the Heat fans being escorted from their seats...after they were soaked with beer.

I'm pretty sure I played in a bball league that sq played in. We were all laughing at the guy in the heat shirt. I'm ashamed to work in the town he's from.

I don't think it's jealousy as much as difference of opinion. Again, I have no problem with someone being a fan of a player as opposed to a team especially if you're from like north dakota or somewhere where there's no close sports team. When I was younger I was a big Mario Lemieux fan and found myself rooting for the Penguins (which also had to do with no Cleveland NHL team, the Barons were well before my time). Mario's retirement coupled with the birth of an Ohio NHL team (Go Jackets, Carry the Flag!) led me to switch allegiances. I was as big of a LeBron supporter as there was when he was on the Cavs and probably would've at least wished him some amount of luck had "The Decision" not happened.

Yeah...there are reasons to be jealous of someone. Being a fan of a particular athlete isn't one.

LMAO at SQ actually trying to defend himself from being labeled as a front runner. Is he really that delusional? What a complete joke of a person.

Ill say WB SQ. I dont usually agree with much you say, but it takes all types of opinions and all types of people to make OhioChatter what it is. If everyone agreed on everything, this would be pretty lame. (more lame than it is I meant)

How are you a frontrunner? Jesus...

You nuthug the games best player, it's far worse than being a bandwaggoner of ANY team. It gives you the easiest out when the TEAM the best player is on blows a game. You don't experience the agony of defeat in the least, you can simply deflect blame to other players who didn't get it done, management who never brought in better players to support your super hero. It's always somebody's fault that isn't your guy. It's a fandome for pussies. Matter of fact, it falls right in line with your posting style, never wrong, not your fault, easy way out.
