FITEEN STRONG
OK so here is another of what is going to most likely be a huge series of Championship posts...
after all, we are the Champs, bitch!
"All day baby, all day"
"15 Strong"
First I want to sound off on these so-called "true" Heat fans around that are actually getting mad and complaining that "all of the sudden everyone is a Heat fan."
I think it important not to be a hater. When the Marlins made their playoff push in 2003, and started paying major attention (I was 9 in '97 so we wont count that). Sure I loved baseball and sure I'd always liked the Marlins, but losing for them didn't bother me, so I wasn't a "true" fan...but them winning was incredible and fun and amazing and inspiring nonetheless. Even though I knew it owuldn't be as sweet for me as it would be for these true fans, I enjoyed it, and, as it turned out, it converted me, because now I am definately a "true" marlins fan who still watches most of there games.
So to those people hating on the bandwagon I say this: let them have fun (I know I did in 2003). Let the Championship bring everyone together and have fun, and who knows, maybe now there will be a lot more die hard fans. Plus, you could feel better (I know I do) knowing that its that much sweeter for us, knowing that we were there for all the heartaches. So let them have there fun, and lets have ours as well.
Next, I want to talk about Marc Stein, my public enemy number 1. The self-professed Heat hater that criticized and talked shit about the Heat since Pat made the trades, and even after they got to the Finals, he said he admitted he was wrong but he knew the Heat were'nt that good and would get owned by the Mavs. This is the guys who wouldn't put the Heat higher than fourth in the power ranking, despite the fact that they were on a 10 game winning streak.
WELL? How does it feel now? I'll let him answer that for himself.
"Hello, all. Welcome to my last chat of the '05-06 season and the moment Heat fans have been waiting for . . . the opportunity to throw a championship in my face and remind the committee (of one) how foolish it looks now for ever doubting Riles and Co. I know you are ready . . . "
and my favorite part, his little story....
"Remember when Wade grabbed the rebound on Jason Terry's missed 3 at the end of Game 6 and hurled the ball high in the air? Guess where it landed?
Yup. It came down straight at me courtside. BOUNCED RIGHT IN MY FACE when a colleague in front of me fumbled. Don't think D-Wade was aiming at me, though. In these Finals, he'd have hit me for sure if he were aiming. "
Finally I leave him with a bit of swallowing his own medicine.
When all the ESPN columnists were asked what would happen if them started the series again tomorrow...he simply responded by saying "Heat in 4. Who could have ever doubted this team?"
Sorry, that's the only personal shit talking I'll do.
But I would like to mention how I am actually getting tired of people complaing about the series..the Heat won period..so stop whinning. Everyone knows I'm a Heat fan, so everyone is leaving me messages saying how I hope I wrote the refs a letter of thank you. Everyone has got to chill out. I didn't complain last year when Wade, Shaq, Damon Jones, Eddie Jones, and Udonis were ALL hurt did I. Maybe if you drove occasionally you would get to the line more, and maybe if you didnt foul Shaq every 2 seconds you wouldn't be in the penalty with 10 minutes left in every Quarter.
The fact remains, we are champs, and nobody, and I mean nobody can take that away from us.
I've paid my dues, time after time. I've done my sentence, but committed no crime.
And bad mistakes, I've made a few. I've had my share of sand, kicked in my face, but I've come through.
We are the champions, my friend. And we'll keep on fighting till the end. We are the champions, We are the champions. No time for losers 'cos we are the champions of the world.
I've waiting a decade to hear that song with meaning, and now I think I've heard it maybe 100 times since Tuesday.
NOW....?
PARADE EVERYONE...TOMORROW.
SEE YOU THERE
