Miami Heat Video: South Beach Fans Prove as Insufferable as Team in Tribute
Miami Heat fans have various expectations of their team, and they start, not end, with multiple trophies.
At least, that is what I gleaned from this clever little tribute video that includes mention of NBA basketball legend Rony "I'm too sexy for this jersey" Seikaly and Harold "Don't call me Baby Jordan" Miner.
The song is called "Young, Wild and Heat" and is based on the song "Young, Wild & Free" by Wiz Khalifa.
Yeah, I don't think this video will garner fans outside Miami. But that's okay, because this basketball boy band don't care about the haters.
It's a nice little song with some chuckle moments, but in all, it serves to exacerbate the feelings the rest of the nation has about this team and its fans.
I really hope the Heat are on their way to an NBA title, because then things like this will actually have some measure of credence.
Let's take a look at some lyrics: "So what we got Bosh?/That's how you get trophies."
Yes, signing Chris Bosh has been the impetus behind a plethora of NBA titles.
General managers around the league are hitting themselves while thinking, "If we could just sign Bosh, we would be swimming in trophies."
"Taking talents to South Beach, Lebron told Jim Gray/ When he left the Cavaliers, Dan Gilbert went kray/ And that's when we threw that welcome par-tay/ Counting rings from the future, it's the Heat way."
This is my fave. It really hits the nail on the head, as the Heat and their fans continue to celebrate the wealth of rings they have yet to win: "Thrive on the hating, we play to high ratings/ Step to the Heat and your D's disintegrating."
Um, this one is actually true.
I certainly hope there is at least one championship in the future for this crew—or videos like this will look even sillier in time.
Oh, and unless you dress up and hit the court, please stop referring to your team as "we."
Just a thought, because at this point, even Dexter Pittman is barely able to do that.
Follow me on Twitter and we can fight about it.
