I lived in Miami for a year and a half, and am now back in Chicago--yes--the city that beat you guys 3x this year. Haha. Everyone knows that Chicago is one of the greatest sports cities in the US, and everyone knows that Miami is one of the worst. I think there are many factors. As some said, many people from many parts of the US come to live in Miami but stay loyal to their hometown teams (I know I did), but there is also the fact that many people come from Europe and South America and could really give two sh++s about basketball or football (american) or hockey, etc. There is also the fact that there is virtually no middle class in Miami, and often times (even here at Bulls games), the true fans are in the cheap seats, whereas those below will sit on their hands half the game, show up fashionably late, etc. Much of Miami is poorer and don't have the money to spend on such things. I remember having to drive essentially to the "suburbs" of Miami to find a decent sports bar....whereas sports bars/pubs/taverns etc are on every block in NYC or Chicago, they are few and far between in Miami. Miami just is not Sports friendly for fans. I too was never a fan of Lebron, but outside of the women, I don't know why the hell that moron ever wanted to play in such a terrible sports town, when he could have had a large market/winning club/best fan support had he gone to Chicago or NY. His loss though....season will end early for the Heat.
