Miami Herald’s Dan LeBatard has said it over and over about his hometown fans lucky acquiring of the Big Three: “Miami doesn’t deserve this.” And Dan is right. The city of Miami didn’t deserve to get three of the NBA’s best 15 players. They are a fan base that shows up late, if not infrequently [...]

When I was watching Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference Finals, I couldn’t help but think about how much was being asked of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James to win the game for the Miami Heat.
