The hate for Miami really is quite funny; LeBron no doubt handled the situation terribly but it was well within his right to leave an awfully managed Cleveland team. I'm sure he got sick of making Mike Brown look like an above average coach, and after Dan Gilbert's comments, his decision was all the more vindicated. 

I'm glad people are "hating" and looking at miami more now, because wade is so underrated, it's not even funny, I hate how the nba and espn and fox sports.. etc.. would constanly praise lebron and kobe as if they were the only good players in the league, when the guy with the highest PPG average last year was DWAYNE WADE, and so far, he's the 3rd best scorer in the league despite having two huge point forwards

Kevin Durant won the scoring title last year.  Lebron was second.  Not sure where you are getting Wade from, unless PPG doesn't stand for "Points Per Game".

But I do like Wade, not trying to bash....just saying....

Edit:  Reference for above comment - http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/player/_/stat/scoring-per-game/sort/avgPoints/year/2010/seasontype/2  Looks like Wade was 5th.
