FWIW, that could potentially be true for this Heat team, as well.

The fact that he gets way more shite than he deserves makes him a sympathetic figure to me and easy to pull for.
I'm getting there. . .

The unwarranted hate for the guy is going to make me a fan.

Some think I am, because I am able to talk about him in an objective manner.

I just want to know what super star has taken the hard way to a championship?

MJ? Pippins was no slouch
Kobe? Shaq in his prime, and then Bynum, Gasol, Artest Solid supposrt around him for all of them.

which super star player dragged his no name team up the mountain on his back and won a championship?

I'd honestly probably pull for him if he played for any team besides Miami. For as shitty as some pro athletes are, he seems to be a pretty decent father and isn't just procreating like crazy. He has had some crappy management in my opinion and doesn't seem to have that killer drive like Jordan/Kobe had...at least not overtly...which can definitely be viewed as negatives. I wish he would work on his jump shot/post up game a bit more (he would be the absolute total package of greatness on the court if he did).

Exactly. The average NBA career is roughly over 4.5 years. He spent 7 in Cleveland. That's about 7 years longer than most people want to spend in Cleveland period.

Plays the game hard, and the right way. Never in trouble off the court. Is a good teammate who never publically demeans his fellow players. Does things for community youth... There's more reasons to admire than hate IMO.


Well said.

I dont like LeBron because arrogant. Who has their entourage board the team plane with you? Who brands themselves the Chosen One and "King" before they ever win anything. Also he attention whores more than Kim Kardashian. Like showing that XVI mouthpiece every chance he got. Bitches do stuff like that.

How does that affect you in any way? And did you just compare lebron james to kim kardashian? He gets attention because he's the best player in the nba not because he begs for it.

So now you have to be personally affected to have a negative opinion on somebody? Give me a fricking break.

Actually. . .yes.

Takes a lot of effort to hate someone.

I like LBJ just fine but what are you doing with this?

When has liking or disliking an player in pro sports ever been dependent on their actions affecting someone personally?

How can you hate someone without being personally affected by them?

I mean really? How is that even possible?

Lebron didn't brand himself the King or the Chosen one, that was Nike and the media
