Ever since “The Decision,” the Miami Heat have been a lightning rod for controversy, and every PR misstep the Heat have made has been turned into a full-blown news item. Some of the controversies were legitimate, and some of them were just silly, but they were all a part of the NBA season.
The Palm Beach Post’s Ethan J. Skolnick recently provided a glossary of the Heat’s controversies, with explanations attached. For the full explanations, you’ll have to click through, but here’s the quick list, in alphabetical order:
- Bump-Gate
- Breakfast-Gate
- Cable-Gate
- Celebrate-Gate
- Chill-Gate
- Contraction-Gate
- Cry-Gate
- Karma-Gate
- “R” Word-Gate
- Welcome-Gate
Great work by Ethan, and I encourage everyone to click through to get a recap of one of the most ridiculous seasons in recent memory.

Ethan is easily my favorite Heat blogger. Tim Reynold is number two. Ira Winderbag is last.

Barkley called Lebron a punk after the “Decision” http://clicky.me/18UQ . . . Wonder what he thinks now.
