No, it's true. At least here in south Florida it's true. I moved down here to West Palm 7 years ago, and I can say with 100% confidence there is no fan support for the teams. Also, the fans are dumb. Cleveland fans understand cap space, trade implications, expiring contracts, etc... Miami fans know stuff such as: your supposed to get the basketball in the hoop, dunks are awesome, dos minutos.
True story, before Lebron in Miami, I would walk into PLAYOFF games for 20 dollars/ticket. I did that multiple times. The arena smells bad too.
Maybe in Miami, but Orlando follows the Magic well, and it's pretty evident through the arena and its attendance. Saying people wouldn't care because there are other entertainment venues is. . . dumb, especially when it's more common for a tourist to know more about the parks than someone who has lived here for 30+ years.
Also, Wade's comment might also have to do with LA trading away Fisher, someone who has been with them for over a decade.
