Congrats to the Heat for winning their first championship last night as “the big 3”. Like many, I was completely put off by The Decision and the fact that the Heat players celebrated this championship 2 years early.
However, I’ve come around. I think that at this point LeBron realizes that he invited a lot of the vitriol by those actions and is looking to move past this. I’m more than happy to, and am grateful that both the Heat and Thunder gave us some exciting playoff basketball. LeBron played out of his mind this year, demonstrating just how bad he wanted to get the “no championship” monkey off his back.
Since my sports hate against LeBron is dissipating, I’m glad that other members of the Heat are stepping up in their “give us reasons to hate us” efforts.
First off, Pat Riley’s puppet – Erik Spoelstra – after spending all of the post season with the players ignoring him, decided to wear his new champion ship hat backwards.
I’m sorry, but just like there comes a time in every man’s life when he realizes he’s not going to play professional sports, there also comes a time where a guy looks like a complete dufus when he wears his hat backwards. For most guys this happens at 25 – and while some can stave it off until for another year or two – 27 is the absolute cut-off date. At that point, the hat either goes forward or comes off. Just like Tony Romo, it looks like Erik missed the memo.
You would think your coach looking like a 12-year-old would be enough, but Chris Bosh had to put it over the top by treating the world to the most awkward champagne shower of all time.
And now with the marvels of technology, it’s now an animated gif:
At least now we know what it means to celebrate like a Bosh.
