Miami Heat 'fans' leave early, pound on doors to be let back in
If you're a fan of the NBA, or if you hate LeBron James like I do, you were watching Game 6 last night. And you saw the Heat come back to tie the game in dramatic fashion, then win it in overtime.
However, not everybody saw the end of the game. And I'm not speaking about the angry fans who shut their TVs off - I'm referring to actual Miami Heat fans….who were AT THE GAME!
You see, Heat "fans" - and I use that term lightly, because these people are NOT fans - were leaving in huge numbers with about a minute to play in regulation.
You didn't see it on television, but thanks to Twitter, we have reports of anywhere from 2,000-5,000 people left American Airlines Arena last night before the game was over, then desperately tried to get back in when they heard the news that Miami had come back to tie the game.
Victor Oquendo is a reporter for the ABC affiliate in Miami, and was setting up for a live shot from outside the arena, and caught a glimpse of what was happening. His Tweets are quite enlightening;
@juanguibeme they're not. It's absurd. People screaming about how they paid good money. Really?!

There's really no way to get around it. Miami Heat "fans" deserve your mockery today. That is, if you can find one.
