Not every fan rolled with the line of thinking that you're trying to dump on entire fan bases of those teams.

You are pretty much confirming what I said here. I never lumped any team's entire fan base into this but I will stand by what I said.

During the recruitment of Lebron James in the summer of 2010 the ***majority*** of Bulls, Knicks, and Nets fans:

a. Hoped their team could convince Lebron to leave Cleveland by offering him the opportunity to play with a better supporting cast

or

b. Figured he would stay in Cleveland and be able to lure a decent 2nd option

When Lebron chose:

c. Go to a team nobody even considered and play with better players than anyone else could possibly offer......

many fans from the 3 teams I mentioned earlier, instantly found a laundry list of reasons to despise the player they were salivating over just days before. I have no problem with people feeling this way, but it's disingenuous to pretend they wouldn't have welcomed Lebron and his friends to their team if given the opportunity.
