Well being that i live right by Miami, i will tell you that until Shaq got traded for Odom, Butler and...Grant was it? Miami's fan base was nearly dead. You could get great lower level seats to playoff games Wade's rookie season for dirt cheap. You didnt see many Heat jerseys besides the old and worn out Zo or Timmy jerseys. The day Shaq was traded, people who didnt even watch basketball hoped on the Wagon. It got even worse in 06 when they won the title.
If anyone has actually watched Heat home games, you could see that the lowers are anything but sold out. People get to the games a QTR late and leave a QTR early. One of my friends is actually head of ticket sales for the Heat and i hope he goes broke, that money hungry Jew(no offense Jewish people).
They are as loyal as they are intelligent. I hope they get David Lee and Wade hurts his knee and sits out 50 games and they finish dead last in the East.
