As you point out the Bulls were loaded with talent aside from Jordan, but for the most part the nucleus of the Bull's dynasty was homegrown and it took time for the team to develop into the team that won 6 championships in 8 years. The same is more or less true for the Lakers, though Kareem was obviously a FA acquisition.
While I don't blame LeBron for feeling that he needed to surround himself with more talent in order to get a ring, but at the same time I don't feel like it's unfair to say that the way that the Heat came together just doesn't feel right and can see why people are slow to embrace them as a team.

Actually, Kareem was a trade acquisition.
But I agree with what you said there. I dont hate LeBron, I just dont like the Heat for how they came together, just like the Yankees.
With that being said, I think the Heat as they are great for the NBA.
