Heating Up

So, I just deleted everything that I had initially written in a post discussing the benefits of summer, because as soon as I mentioned the "heat" - my mind went to the NBA finals, and I found that more interesting. Please realize that I really don't know that much about the NBA, so don't get all uppity if I say something inaccurate, this is just the opinion of a girl who watches sports sometimes. Ok, so now that the disclaimer has been accounted for, I am pulling for the Heat. I realize that in sports they are Public Enemy #1, but I really don't understand why everyone hates them so much. So maybe Lebron James is looked at as a traitor for leaving Cleveland, but can you really blame him for leaving Cleveland for the opportunity that presented itself in Miami? I mean he took a pay cut ($15 million is reported) to play with two other exceptional players in order to win a championship, isn't that really the end goal...(along with making millions)? I might not be ready to say that James is the new Michael Jordan quite yet, but he sure is talented. For some reason (even though he looks like an alien) I really like Chris Bosh. Now here is how the female mind works - I like him because he was really nice and funny on Regis and Kelly. I realize that's not substantive, but it's the truth. A lot of times my opinions of celebrities and athletes is either made or broken by their appearances on the late night talk show circuit. I think that the "Big Three" are fun to watch, it's like when one of them has an off-night, the other one steps up to the plate. I just wish they weren't going up against the Mavs, I've always been a Dirk Nowitski fan. I guess I just want to see the Heat give a big "told you so" to everyone who doubted them, and prove that yes, they really are that good. While it's not really a Cinderella story by any means, it would still be satisfying to see.
