This was f*#@#ng HILARIOUS!!!! I didn't expect it when I first heard it live. It caught me off guard, but this was the most memorable of rants I'd ever heard. Much props Le Betard!! Oh,.....GO HEAT 2014!!!!
Stugotz saying we are the Trojans is so dumb....we my ass...he is such a fraud knicks fan new York bred transplant who happens to live and work in miami...thank God his mets rangers Knicks and jets have given him 0 titles to root for in the modern era ...1 since the 80's...he can suck it ...5 losses in finals
I listen to this whenever the "noise" around Lebron gets way to ridiculous. Reminds me that the gas bags don't know anything and they just want to create content .
That handle all came about when Dan & Stu Gotz (dude laughin in background), had George (the Animal ) Steel on his show, and "the Animal" called him Levitz, instead of Lebatard by mistake. LOL. So StuGotz always calls him Levitz during these rants. Hillarious!
Don't comment if you didn't watch the game. The whole reason why they sagged off lebron/wade was because he didn't want to slash and rather have them shoot mid range jumpers. It worked up until game 7. If those two guys are making those shots, it's over. You get on tight, they blow by. You sag off, they shoot the easy jumper. If you noticed the adjustment made by spoelstra, they stopped helping bosh against duncan to lock down on the shooters.
im from boston I LOVE THESE RANTS id pay for em thats how good they are - u have cowboys we have cocaine cowboys-u pop-a-vich we pop a molly - i never seen any1 gag like that since 2 girls 1cup
At the same time, some bandwagon fans will forever stick around forever as fans. I was about 13 when Shaq came to Miami and he was the reason I started watching the NBA and following the Heat closely. Even after he left, I stayed a HUGE fan of the Heat and NBA in general. Every fanbase has bandwagoners. I don't see why some people hate on them. It's natural for more people to be more interested when the team is as great as the Heat are right now.
I was actually rooting for the Spurs, but this epic rant makes Miami winning worth it. If we get a rant like this from Le Batard every time the Heat win the NBA Finals, I will root for them every year.
"I dont know why pop didn't tell them to play tighter at that point" The reason why is because once they get on tight, they blow by and the heat offensive system goes into full effect. Rotate to contest against wade/lebron, open easy jumper for a heat player. Do not rotate, wade/lebron will attack and most likely make it. Danny Green open shots weren't threes. They were off the dribble and drive when you are off balanced. Green never had a decent look from three. Most were contested.
oh hearing bill simmons at the start of this rant made me happy and laugh....eric is fil---i-pino jackson lol...i hoep durant comes cause I miss this.....this heat rant made dan entertaining for once...he is so boring now a days....he used to enjoy this team and seem like a real fan of sports and have fun....now he seems bored once again with sports...anyone who hates on this rant needs to get a life....its all in fun and he isnt saying lies....hes making fun of rants in general the hype the media fans players miami in general his own team everyone and sports in general...its not serious...its for laughs
I remember how the media acted like this was a real disrespectful thing to Michelle Beadle and other media people…I didn’t get the show back in 2013…but thankfully I Do now
For all who claim that Miami fans are classless. At the Miami Heat 2013 Championship parade 400,000 people attended. 0 arrest and 0 riots. Yeah eat it.
Using a fast tempo system with old players who had to play heavy minutes will result in injuries. The lakers put themselves in that position by not putting in work to develop a chemistry both on offense and defense. Timberwolves had it far worse in terms of injuries and those were freak injuries. Heat on the other hand were able to coast on there wins because they only need to use one legit run to win games. The lakers had to play a full 48minutes of their core in order to beat the NOH.
Would kill for video of Dan's red, sweaty face as he's delivering this.
Fat too
Watching this in 2019 and still the best rant of all time
"Joel Anthony has as many rings as Wilt Chamberlain" - Best part.

This was f*#@#ng HILARIOUS!!!! I didn't expect it when I first heard it live. It caught me off guard, but this was the most memorable of rants I'd ever heard. Much props Le Betard!! Oh,.....GO HEAT 2014!!!!

" we almost lost the marlins to your city, ok you got us on that one " LMFAO!!!!!!!! XDD
That's right because the Lakers went seven games with San Antonio and won the 2013 NBA Finals. Wait. The Lakers barely made into the playoffs.
Dan needs to make another one for this years clippers blown 3-1
YOU HAVE A POPOVICH, WE POP THAT COOCHIE LMAO
If you listen to Dan's show/you're from south Florida you know this is all in good fun. Absolutely hilarious stuff.
Clutch this!!!!!!!!!
That handle all came about when Dan & Stu Gotz (dude laughin in background), had George (the Animal ) Steel on his show, and "the Animal" called him Levitz, instead of Lebatard by mistake.
LOL. So StuGotz always calls him Levitz during these rants. Hillarious!
Still funny in 2018
Love this. Need more
Duncan.....DONE...CAN'T. This Rant was Epic, lol.
of course Spurs fans coming to mock us, hey of Im concerned the Heat will always be the reason the Spurs will never be undefeated in the finals
Ten years later n this is STILL FUNNY AS HELL

Perfection. #History #GiveitToMeAGAIN
I don't care who you're a fan of, these bits are gold!

im from boston I LOVE THESE RANTS id pay for em thats how good they are - u have cowboys we have cocaine cowboys-u pop-a-vich we pop a molly - i never seen any1 gag like that since 2 girls 1cup
Lebron is sitting 3 seats away from his current teammates on the Lakers.......
Funny how the media doesn't change even years later.
At the same time, some bandwagon fans will forever stick around forever as fans. I was about 13 when Shaq came to Miami and he was the reason I started watching the NBA and following the Heat closely. Even after he left, I stayed a HUGE fan of the Heat and NBA in general.
Every fanbase has bandwagoners. I don't see why some people hate on them. It's natural for more people to be more interested when the team is as great as the Heat are right now.
These are hilarious. Honestly, these rants are worth the heat winning.
i want this to happen again!
Again AGAIN
Eat it!
Eat more of it!
Eat it with sauce!
Comételo!!
Eat it with “mayo-ness!!”
Eat it with salsa!!
Eat it all!!
As a SPURS fan I can appreciate this.
This is fucking funny
"We have a bang bus" lol
You got a Popovich! We Pop a Molly!
me too! when they were like "in 20 years Norris Cole is gonna be giving out finals MVP trophies" that got me so much too!
This was truly a moment in time! Lol
Papi signing off was crazy!
"Norris Cole has 2 titles in 2 NBA years. Bill Russell, he is coming to get you!"
This video belongs in the Smithsonian. Cavs fan here with deep appreciation nearly 10 years later
she is a huge spurs fan and actually started out as a reporter for the team i think, but her dad and brothers were at the games
I was actually rooting for the Spurs, but this epic rant makes Miami winning worth it. If we get a rant like this from Le Batard every time the Heat win the NBA Finals, I will root for them every year.
I had to come back to the good times
Forever Legendary ish 🤣🤣🤣🤣 he couldn’t miss on these rants
Love these by Dan... Give it to me Again!!!
THE #GOAT OF ALL RANTS
Have you seen that video of Lakers vs Celtics from 2007(Pre-KG) where a bunch of people were cheering for Kobe at a Celtics home game?
Excellent!!!!Dan Le Batard is at it again!!!
this is to good true heat fan
and dont forget 5 players scored in game 7 lmaoo !!!!! where do they do that at ?
Still laughing at this in 2022!
cmon man how is this still up they told you they want to police the internet
Dan LeBatard is one of my favorite analysts. Very cerebral. Wasn't aware he did comedic bits. Will check out his show
Great choice right? Lol
one of the things I love about the Heat winning is lebatard's rant.
This is just all kinds of awesome.
"Joel Anthony has as many rings as Dr. J".......lmao
Lebatard
St Anthony of Padua's Feastday is every June 13 not July 13
Do you even know where 5 of those occurred? Minneapolis.
Danny green broke ray allen's record, ray allen broke danny greens heart
Joel Anthony has as many rings as Wilt Chamberlain enough said lol.
THe Pop lines and the Union line make this rant lol....flippin hilarious
Didn't show up? I believe the coach had him on the bench at a critical time.
"I dont know why pop didn't tell them to play tighter at that point" The reason why is because once they get on tight, they blow by and the heat offensive system goes into full effect. Rotate to contest against wade/lebron, open easy jumper for a heat player. Do not rotate, wade/lebron will attack and most likely make it. Danny Green open shots weren't threes. They were off the dribble and drive when you are off balanced. Green never had a decent look from three. Most were contested.
Best Rant!!!!!
Does anybody know what the background music is called?
oh hearing bill simmons at the start of this rant made me happy and laugh....eric is fil---i-pino jackson lol...i hoep durant comes cause I miss this.....this heat rant made dan entertaining for once...he is so boring now a days....he used to enjoy this team and seem like a real fan of sports and have fun....now he seems bored once again with sports...anyone who hates on this rant needs to get a life....its all in fun and he isnt saying lies....hes making fun of rants in general the hype the media fans players miami in general his own team everyone and sports in general...its not serious...its for laughs
I was in tears when I heard that.
Give it to me AAAAAGAAAAAINNNN!!!!!!!!!!!
Most Epic Rant Ever
Love it ! " Larry Coker wins championships in Miami, now he coaches the Univerity of Txas San Antonio Whatevers...." LMMFAO
thanks for sharing!
I remember how the media acted like this was a real disrespectful thing to Michelle Beadle and other media people…I didn’t get the show back in 2013…but thankfully I Do now
anyone know the music in the background???
Regardless of what I stated earlier, that is really impressive.
Was he talking about a game 7 finals??
It is barely anyone compared to actual sports parade like in Baltimore just a few months ago.
Is Coach Gregg gonna have to Popovich?
That was awesome!
For all who claim that Miami fans are classless. At the Miami Heat 2013 Championship parade 400,000 people attended. 0 arrest and 0 riots. Yeah eat it.
Remember the A La Mode 😂😂😂 But seriously, I wonder if Valerie has heard this...
How is it a bootleg when this one came out 4 days ago and the other one 2 days ago... Desperate for views eh?
WE ALMOST LOST THE MARLINS TO YOUR CITY..... Ok you got us on that one
Still hilarious 7 years later
Watching in 2021!
Norris Cole THE NEW BILL RUSSELL!!!
Same way I feel about the Patriots in their two Superbowls against the Giants. Unfortunately, that doesn't change the outcome of them.
"We almost lost the Marlins to your city!...OK, you got us on that one..." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
This is great. Better than 2012's and that was fucking hilarious.
I'm tripping that he referenced the Bangbus! Hilarious#
Where was this in 2011? Oh yeah, that's right.
Using a fast tempo system with old players who had to play heavy minutes will result in injuries. The lakers put themselves in that position by not putting in work to develop a chemistry both on offense and defense. Timberwolves had it far worse in terms of injuries and those were freak injuries.

Love how this is recommended in 2023. Heat over nuggets
