If you don't think LeBron worked hard to get where he is than you're extremely idiotic.

yes it does, LBJ had all these people feeding his head with shite about him to inflate his ego. He comes off as very immature for someone his age

harder than Kobe or MJ not even close, Kobe came in as a fricking stick and worked his arse off in the weight room and on the court and during film study. MJ's work ethic is second to none. Lebron is too busy dicking around on the sidelines and i guess now passing out during film.

I refuse to believe this article. Lebron is a scholar and a true gentleman

Immature, unprofessional, and delusional.

MJ was the two time consensus player of the year and had was heavily marketed by Nike before ever playing a league game. He might be the most hyped player of the last 40 years besides LeBron. Although hype back then wasn't what it is now.

Your then proceed to interject with non-related material.

really, i know people who grew up with a lack of a father who don't act like a dbag. From the age of 12 Lebron had some male figure in his life like coaches and such looking out for him.
quote:comparing him to Lebron at 25 for sure

After he got into the league and did something MJ blew up. People have been on Lebron's nuts since he was a sophomore in HS and he was on the cover of SI as a senior. The unearned hype for Lebron was 100x more.

lack of a father figure is a lame excuse for the way he acts. Thats used for people who run the streets, kill people, deal drugs and other shite that is a detriment to society. Not some NBA super star.
Lebron apologist don't know when to stop defending this guy

its a lame excuse for an NBA super star to be 25 and still act 19 at times
Posted on 7/16/10 at 7:21 pm to StraightCashHomey21
All excuses are lame.
There's a big difference between basketball maturity and maturity in all aspects of life. Jordan and Kobe never seemed to grasp the 2nd all that well either.

It was more no doubt, but he was hyped for sure. Other than LeBron he was the most hyped since Bird/Magic. A case could be made for Shaq, but I think that it was Michael. It's hard to compare pre-2000 hype versus now because the internet is so prevalent.

those 2 are a lot more humble than Lebron, maybe Lebron will be in the next couple years. But then again getting chosen 1 on your back is far from humble.

I'll disagree with that. I don't think either is more humble but I think they're a lot more savvy than Lebron. Jordan would have fully understood that doing something like the Decision would make him look like a jackass so he wouldn't do it.
Posted on 7/16/10 at 7:30 pm to saintsfan22
they are all arrogant with out a doubt, so i guess savvy is a better way to put it. By not being so open with being arrogant.
People can defend Lebron and his skills with him being the best in the game argument but i dunno how anyone can defend this.

Len Bias's hype has grown an awful bit since his death. Also, Len Bias was after Jordan.
