re: LeBron to his haters: You'll still have your same personal problems tomorrow

I'll never understand why some people care so much about defending a celebrity from hate. Is a lot of the Lebron hate irrational? Sure, but its still a non-issue. So much about being a fan is irrational in the first place, and sports is much better with villains whether its a team or a specific player.
The odd thing is Lebron is not a good villain. A good "bad guy" in sports will step on your fricking throat. That's not Lebron. He was utterly pathetic this series, a tragic figure almost.
Most fans' irrational hatred of a player is at least based on something reasonable, and they tend to focus on "on the field" things. This is not that.
Plus, I totally agree with you on the villain role. Kobe is a much better villain than LeBron.

Too bad that his quote had nothing to do with money.
it has everything to do with money and fame. "they can hate if they want. they are still poor and I'm rich"

LeBron basically said, "oppulence...I has it"

Funny, I don't see those words here:
Perhaps you can point out where he said that.
I love when people get eisegesic with sports figures...

They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal, but they have to get back to the real world at some point.

For those slobbering all over LeBron's knob in this thread, can any of you explain to me why you think he's so great? He's got a sub par NBA jumper but he's really good at dunking the ball and drawing fouls by flailing his arms and complaining.
Yeah, you're right. He sucks. Get your validation from all of the LeBron haters on the Rant instead of the word of every GM in the NBA that would want LeBron to build their team around and the scores of Hall of Fame players, coaches and analysts who readily admit that LeBron is one of the greatest players in NBA history.

it is ironic that you have that avatar defending these statements...and I took it as money. Doesn't mean I'm an irrational hater.

this would be the one implying money
TigerRyno might be misconstruing "I'm going to continue to live as I want to live" as
"Look merica...look at how i be livin "

People who still talk about the decision and the promo thing are INSANE.
I don't hear people talkin about the Jets saying they would win the super bowl every preseason

Absolutely not (I don't give a shite). Because at the end of the day, all the people that was rooting on me to fail (those not making $14.2 million per like me), at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow (but not in there $8 mansion on the bay) and have the same life (not being as rich as me) that they had before they woke up today (still not as rich as me). They have the same personal problems (not as much money as I have) they had today. I'm going to continue to live (the dream) the way I want to live (the dream) and continue to do the things (that money can buy) that I want to do with me and my family and be happy (being wealthy) with that. They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy (envious) about not only my (rich) self, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal, but they have to get back to the real world (were they aren't as rich as I am) at some point.

Lebron brings the hate upon himself with his ego, which is clearly shown with this quote. You can't call yourself the chosen one or king and have it tattooed on your back and not expect heat whenever you lay in egg on the biggest stage.
I knew she would like this because lebron can do no wrong. Pretty pathetic of him to make this statement. He doesn't understand the many aspects that go into a person's life.

Irony, I has it.
Apparently, I spent too much time around hipsters this weekend.

saying you expect to win the Super Bowl during a run of the mill press conference is not the same
as announcing your free agent decision on an hour long nationally syndicated program under the guise of charity...
Now if he said he was going back to cleveland and he wanted to put cleveland in the spotlight then fine, but it's such a shitty thing to do to the fans just to satisfy your own ego

I feel like shel and TTF have been pretty level headed about it, especially since game 4, SFP and Louie T have completely lost it

b/c the jets are a team, some people will defend this guy at all cost, they fall so in love with his game they put the blinders up about this guy who calls himself the chosen one or refers to himself as the king

oh I had no doubt he would, but that's because I realized what a self absorbed, egomaniacal child he is waaaay before anyone else did.
and name me one equivalent of "the decision"
