The problem with LeBron makes himself out to be a victim and nothing is his fault.

Tiger has never done that.

That's the difference.

Zion is going to NY.

Silver rigging the draft just like Stern did form Ewing, that’s why Ewing is going to the lottery for the Knicks.

I’m not whining. I’m actually a Lebron fan.
Just saying what i think he does when his career is over as someone said once he retires we won’t hear from again which is completely false

Jordan was also a very unlikable douchebag. He was just fortunate that Twitter didn't exist during his playing days. He punched a teammate in the face and the Jordan fanboys love him for it.


This. It always amazes me when people search for reasons MJ (or Tiger in this case) are so likeable without acknowledging how many things there are to dislike on a personal level if you want to.

Jordan and Tiger were both narcissists. Jordan was documented cheating on his wife, obviously Tiger too. People call athletes who get DUI's POS's, well, that was Tiger.

If you dig down on most great athletes, there's stuff to dislike. Jordan and Tiger got a boost by having their dominant years occur pre-social media. Negative stories didn't spread instantaneously like they do today. Marketing mythologized them without the constant scrutiny stripping that away.

This is why I made the comparison between MJ & Aaron Rodgers after that story dropped last week.

Russillo had a pretty good take on BS podcast about this. He didn't call out any of his coworkers by name. But he did mention the fact that a number of people played the moral card with Tiger during his infidelity.

Tigers also kind of lucky that this entire fallout took place in 2009 and not 2019. I think the reception would be different.

Tiger started as a grade A a-hole and douchebag, hit rock bottom, and has become far more likable and decent

Lebron started as a likable and pleasant kid and has slowly and gradually become a grade A douchebag
