re: Why exactly do so many fans hate Lebron James?

My reason for disliking him is based on how he has handled himself.

I understand that to a degree, you cannot control the media hype/swirl around you, so I do not hold that against him, although he played a part in it.

The first thing that really started to rub me the wrong way was when DH was in the dunk contest, and he acted like a jilted lover. He announced that he was going to enter the dunk contest and do it on a 13' foot goal, etc, etc, only to back off of his "commitment" the following year.

The next incident was when KD won his first scoring title I believe, and Lebron put out a comment about how he could win it every year if he wanted to, but he was more worried about his team's success. Why did he fell the need to say anything? Jealousy and acting like a women.

Also the whole taking shots at Stephon M's shoes, even though the man was only marketing an affordable shoe to lower class kids, and even though Nike is notorious for their sweat shops and overpriced products.

Of course "The Decision" didn't help.

There many incidents like this that turned me off of him. He seems like he always wants the attention on him, but only when its good, he doesn't want the bad attention, just the good attention.
