Anyone else became a bigger fan of LeBron AFTER "The Decision"?

Personally, I never had a problem with him leaving after. The only problem I may have had was the contrived and corny telecast with Jim Gray.
Ever since, there's been a pile-on vitriol for him. It's gotten ridiculous. Every small detail or action/behavioral trait he displays is nitpicked and magnified, ex: 90% of NBA players argue at refs, but it's perceived as "passion". Lebron apparently whines at refs...I guess he's not allowed to get upset under any circumstances.
Not to say that he is without flaws, but i believe people hate on him at this point because "it's the thing to do."

I didn't become less or more of a fan after the decision. I think it's selfish of most people to impose their desires about how he should have handled his career upon him.

Nah. He's a frickboy

He acts entitled to special treatment and constantly gets rewarded with it because of the amount of money he brings in for the powers that be. Simple as that. That's the reason why many sports fans (including myself) don't like him.

I've made my hatred for Lebron pretty clear on here so I'm not going in to that again.
But the new thing I keep seeing that I hate is "Lebron was poor and had nothing growing up and people hate him. Steph was rich and had everything growing up and people like him"
When was I supposed to start hating rich people and loving poor people? I like or hate people based on their actions not how they grew up.

LBJ argues way more than the average player.

I honestly was a LeBron hater until then. Then I realized that I really had no objective reason to dislike him, and the fact people turned on him overnight was ludicrous to me.

I was more excited after the Decision because I thought the Heat would be an awesome team to watch. I like awesome basketball.
I've never hated or loved him. That's for children.

I didn't hate on him until he hosted a nationally televised show to shite on his hometown.
Posted on 6/18/16 at 8:32 pm to Tarik One
Liked him and liked him even more after he chose to return. As the to the whining and arrogance the whole golden state team is full of showboaters and babies.
Posted on 6/18/16 at 8:35 pm to Tarik One
Remained a big fan no matter what obviously.
Posted on 6/18/16 at 8:44 pm to Tarik One
The worst thing he did in his career was host that event. And raise millions of dollars for boys &a girls club...

Lebron used to be my favorite player. Probably the first time my favorite player was the best player.
Outside of this series, Lebron has had an enormous impact on the league, and how teams are structured. After he went to the heat, it disrupted parity, especially in the east. I could expand, but simply put, he got exactly what he wanted. I had a huge amount of respect for the guy that put his team on his back every year and had a shot because he was the best. I lost respect when he got those "insurance" championships. He has a different demeanor on the court now than he did 8-10 years ago.
Fair or not, I just don't buy into him anymore. If he would have been grinding in CLE this whole time, and never won, I would have rooted for his team every time. By going to an almost sure thing to have a shot at the championship, he lost a lot of his charm. He was scared he would never wins championship, so he basically bought himself one. He has now postured this return trip to Cleveland almost as a favor, and they paid dearly for him.
It isn't like I all of the sudden started thinking he wasn't the best player, I just realized he was really immature and not worth looking up to, or helping to perpetuate his stardom. I still think he is an amazing player, I just don't love the way he has handled his career, and have no sympathy for him when he whines on the court as if he hasn't caught a few breaks over the years.
However, I wouldn't have liked him so much back then, I might like him a whole lot more now. Son of a bitch broke my heart.

I become a more casual fan after the blow-back from the decision. Not that he didn't handle it poorly, just that so many people acted like jilted 15 year olds because he held a press conference. It just seemed weird for it to be so personal for people who have never met the guy.

the fact that anyone outside of Cleveland would be upset about him going to Miami is fricking INSANE!! absolutely, stone cold INSANE!!
how do some people justify their hate for a guy that didn't leave YOUR team??? seriously, it's fricking crazy.... and for those that say he assembled the miami squads, it goes to show just how much they DON'T know about sports...

I had never heard of the guy until ESPN did The Decision.

I've become a "sort of" fan after all this complaining by the Warrior "fans". I wouldn't mind Cleveland/Kyrie winning one. If James wins, he wins. He is a treat to have watched though.
