You are one of the most uneducated and dumb sports posters on both this board and the tiger rant. A sentiment shared by many posters on both boards. Popular opinion and all that.

I don't like Lebron James, I consider myself a marginal NBA fan at best. I only watch the playoffs. I find joy in Lebron's teams losing. With that said, I have sort of learned to appreciate how good he is, and how rare a player like him is. I never got like that with Kobe. I despise Kobe on so many levels, so much so, that I cannot even watch him play. Much less appreciate it.

Not really. I use data, no emotion, and facts to form my opinions on both boards. I can see how that upsets you though

The thing that gets me about lebron, is how he had handled the pressure since he was literally 16 years old. And become even more than people thought he could be.

He made aa mistakemistake handling the Miami decision and people crucify him for that. I don't get it.

At least respect what the guy has accomplished.

Because that's how people get excited about a game they hold no interest in. It's the same reason most people pick a side in a game where they're neutral to both opponents. It gives you a reason to get excited about the match(whether you're rooting for or against a team/player).

I guess some people are winners awesome at life and respect greatness when they see it.

And others are boot lickers that hate their lives and will think anything to make themselves feel better about their substandard existence.

Why we love Jordan and Hate Lebron


Never saw those clips of MJ talking about the 3-peat and its historical relevance. That was actually good to see and insightful.

Respect what he has accomplished: The Cav's lose this series & James is 2-4 in NBA championship series. One last second 3 point shot shot 2 years ago from being 1-5. He's the one who nicknamed himself The King, not the fans or the national media. Of course he's a great great player. But I do not like or respect him.

Because those that think he is the best ever are just wrong. He is definitely top 5. But there is only one that is the best ever.

Because he left a team that he couldn't win a title with for a team where he went to four finals and won two. Oh and he had a receding hairline, let's all point and laugh.

Casual fans aren't the ones critical of LeBron

Were you one of the Cleveland people that were dogging every little move Bron did in Miami because he left?

If so, then you have no room to talk

Lebron is the best, and I may not like him. BUT at least he's not like Floyd Mayweather. Can you imagine the hate he would get if he had a personality like Iverson or Floyd Mayweather?

I'd like to know why he ditched the headband. He just doesn't look right without it.

Most of this board would love him if he were like that (subtract the women beating)
