re: Why exactly do so many fans hate Lebron James?

I dislike lebron because he is a great talent that would rather sit on the court and pout for a foul than get off his arse to play. Notice his "insane" 4th quarter occurred after he quit bitching and started playing. Don't give a frick about his business decisions (and that's what it was). I just can't stand that someone that talented bitches as much as he does. Like he deserves fouls.

What the frick you talking about. Orlando made the decision to trade him. Dwight had a bit of say so with a handful of teams he desired. He was traded to LA with no promises of a future contract. Get that shite out of here.
And, how does that make the situation any different? It's a contract situation. Dwight was not happy in Orlando, James was not happy in Cleveland. They both wanted out. Why? Was it because Dwight was tired of Florida? Was it because James couldn't stand living in Ohio? No, they both left because they wanted to win a Title. Just because James had more leeway in picking his team makes no difference whatsoever.

The loyalty standard that athletes are held to is moronic. It's stupid they get so chastised for switching companies when it is such an accepted practice in every other type of industry. In addition, non-athletes get to CHOOSE their first landing spot while players are
DRAFTED and forced to play in specific locations to start their careers. Those leaving spots they wanted should be looked at more unfavorably than those who are forced. "Athletes make so much it changes things yada yada yada." Money is money. People leave jobs for slightly more money all the time; differences in pay for athletes is significant as well. I don't buy that reasoning.
Some of complaining about wanting to be traded before their contracts are up by players that already assessed the franchise and decided to stay is an entirely different thing. That annoys me as well. The exception to this is if a franchise relayed a team vision and future only to egregiously stray from that and fail to deliver on their promises.

its not about leaving cleveland, its about going to miami only cause he was teaming up with 2 other mega star talents to ensure future success with strictly out of fear of future failure.

switch companies, make more money (bc of taxes), get better boss, get coworker who's a friend...
seems like an obvious choice.

KG was what, 30(31?)? It makes no difference. They joined up and dominated.
In fact, because of his age, KG was even more desperate to win a Title than LeBron.
So, arguably, his legacy should even be more tainted than LeBron's.

I still wish he had joined the Bulls...they wouldn't lose a game

Freaking this.
The drugs, the partying, the random women. All he does is think about himself.
LeBron will get a triple-double and then commit a double felony.
I'm tired of the organizations and Stern sticking up for him and covering his dirty tracks.
Wut?
Surely hope this is sarcasm

I thought him and D-Wade should have joined the Bulls at the time. It worked out though

What does his overall performance have to do with his bitching? I never said he was a bad player. Quite the opposite.

Kobe Bryant bitches constantly.
Rip Hamilton would go into convulsions if you stepped on his shoelace.
Reggie Miller, Paul Pierce, they all do it.

Difficult to root for anyone who anoints themselves a king or "the chosen one"! He is just a freaking douche! Plain and simple. It is easier to like humble people. Imagine someone in your group of friends that acted like he acts. He would be ridiculed. For example, picture one of your boys doing the chalk toss before a pickup game! What the frick would you think about him?
I will say he is getting a little better as he gets older. I thought it was really cool when that fan hit the half court shot and he genuinely looked thrilled for the dude and went out and celebrated with him. But the bottom line is that he is a freaking douche and that's why he gets hate.
I thought ESPN anointed him in High School as the chosen one, and "King James"...is just a play off the bible
Doctor J is a nick name he got from others as well...
you don't get to make your own nickname...
