Why do lebron fans do this every year?
Even if you are trolling, it plays out this way almost every year. Talk him up as the goat all season, then when he's eliminated they're like "we never said he was the goat...it's the Jordan fanboys"
Lebron has been awesome though.

Lebron is a legendary player.
He's just an enormous tool, so people refuse to root for him. Obviously this is magnified by the modern age of technology and social media, which Jordan didn't have to live with.

He was hated well before proving he was a huge douchebag

I mean, I didn't think he was a tool in high school or early in Cleveland. I was rooting hard for him when he was carrying that incredibly shitastic Cavs team through the playoffs before leaving for Miami.
From "The Decision" onward, he has become just completely unlikable. So much so, my wife who hates basketball, has asked me why he's such a douche bag. His douche baggery transcends sports and spills over into pop culture. He's becoming Kanye West in my eyes. A person whose talent is unmistakable, but is just impossible to root for.

I honestly loved him his until they lost to Dallas and he just acted like it was no big deal. I had been ignoring the douche factor for years.
He's not a bad guy, he does a lot for the community,and I respect the hell out of his game, but I think he's a tool that is hard to root for.
If I am being objective though, I couldn't imagine how I would react to all of the BS criticism the dude has taken over the years.

Also had everyone worshipping him since 10th grade.
Hard to turn out normal in that environment. As much as MJ was deified as a professional, he was never given the attention Lebron had during his developmental years.

Most professional athletes are narcissists. I've known pro athletes, and it just comes with the territory and is a matter of degree.
I actually think LeBron appears fairly well adjusted given his life circumstances. How many of us would be grounded, normal people if we'd been internationally famous with tons of money and women throwing themselves at us at 18 years old?

I think people seem to correlate Lebron as a GM to Lebron as a player.
it's also kind of funny how LeGM only gets negative credit. The three ships mean nothing I guess.

I like Curry. I like KD. I can't think of many players I dislike other than Lebron. As a Rockets fan I use to hate Dirk but he's won me over.

KD has turned into just as big a tool as Lebron since he left OKC

Draymond Green? Dude is one of the most easily disliked players in the NBA

He's annoying on the court, but I don't dislike him. I am sure that will change next round. He doesn't come across as an arrogant douche. I don't think KD does either. I think most fans look for reasons not to like someone. I only dislike Lebron because he's just so douchey. I am sure there are some others but I can't think of many.

You don't have to be arrogant to be a douche. He is arguably the dirtiest player in the NBA, and that is the reason he is widely disliked. Hell, there are two threads on the front page about how much Draymond is hated

You don't think KD has come across as a douche? Have you listened to some of the things he's said the past couple of seasons? His social media activity alone has been plenty douchey

Lebron is getting to that age where I better appreciate him now or his career would pass me by for judging him for how insufferable and fake he appears to be. I’ll take the former. It is, however, something I have to consistently force myself to do where cheering for Kobe to be Kobe came naturally late in his career.

Yeah, that stuff doesn't bother me. It will when my team plays them but like I said I don't really hate anyone.

None of that makes me "hate" him. I don't hate Lebron, I just dislike him. I still give him his props for being the 2nd best player ever.
