I think if Lebron is the best player in the league it's not because he's the best, rather it's because nobody else at the moment is better. There is a difference. A major part of his alleged 'greatness' relies on the fact that he can bully his way to the basket with his massive frame and then get away with gut checking, pushing, etc. with his off hand on the drive. Rewind some years back and he wouldn't get away with so much.
But it is true - my hatred for the Heat is almost entirely based on the fact that the team is so forced and contrived. There's seemingly nothing organic about them, including much of their fan base.
