Its definitely not jealousy as far as I'm concerned. I was a Laker fan in the 80s. My 2nd favorite team was Boston. I liked Philly too. I didnt really hate an NBA champion team until Detroit won it with Thomas, Rodman, Laimbeer & Mahorn because they were a bunch of pricks (fwiw, I did like Dumars). I liked watching the Bulls win all those titles and I liked Houston when they won a couple.
I pretty much just hate the Lakers now, mostly because Kobe is a rapist and a prick, plus I dont like Howard or Artest.
I'm not a Miami fan right now either, but I dont hate them.
I'm most jealous of OKC & SA, but I dont dislike either team & hope one of them wins it all this year.
