LeBron James Discussion: Not Returning To The Lakers

What if i don't appeciate him? You telling me the NBA would not be just as fun without him?

It's his fault he has the team he has. The greatest coaches and GM's in the world would love to work with him if he was not such a jerk.

 

If you don’t appreciate him then maybe you are more interested in hating and less in respecting s great NBA player. He will likely go down as Top 5 all time and his numbers will at least justify it. But he’s being jumped on for how he handles blood trickling down his face. Really? That’s straight hatred. Like Real said, drama is the state of the league in general. And there are far less talented players on the drama train. I’m sure if the old style ball from the 80’s and 90’s were to return, LeBron would do just fine; can’t say that for Curry, Harden, CP3, et. al.

 

I was not here but i was no mocking him when had cramps. I respect the man's talent. I don't have to respect the person. It's not religion just because NBA fans treat it that way. Him becoming the best in the world won't make respect him all of the sudden.

 

It's called PR. We have no idea what kind of father he is. He sure as hell cursed the Cavs community.

 

I hope you won't find out the hard way.

As form me not being a Lakers fan it's going to be fun watching the next LeBron trainwreck. Could not have picked a grander stage.

 

That little bump on the head really accentuates the difference between LLLLL and Kobe. I know it’s not fair to compare everyone to Kobe, but they are both all time greats.

How does Kobe react with injury? Dislocated finger? “Gary, what are you waiting for? Fix it”

Makes free throws with torn Achilles

Gets a concussion and busted up nose from DWade, finishes them off in the All Star game by playing through it. Pushes through concussion protocol to play the next games with a mask without complaint.

Too many examples of tolerating pain and playing through it.

When I see LLLLL immediately overreact to minor contact, and then the whiny a** facial expressions that go with it, I just want to hurl.

You are a freaking Greek god athlete 6’8” 260 lbs of solid muscle, and a dude barely clipped you. This is who he is. This what he does.

Underneath the mountain of muscle and tough talk he’s a weak soft pansy a** mother f***er, and we all know it.

What’s this? A drop of blood? Now I have an “out” or an “excuse” why I didn’t win or play well. Ima roll around here on the ground acting like I’m in pain, and maybe I get get some flagrants on these guys. If I act like I’m losing consciousness, the fans will be so impressed with me and how I was able to get up, return to action, and tough it out.

Wrong. You expose yourself as a p****. You played yourself.

Pacers in seven.

You’re not a king. You’re a front runner that always relies on others when your balls start to shrink. We know why you jumped on that table after taking a no pressure 3 for the game winner. You were shocked you made it like everyone else.

They didn’t deny you the ball or double team you because you aren’t clutch. All but one of your previous game winners were layups, so you felt like a kid and celebrated like you hit a grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the ninth with a full count and down three runs.



I hate you LLLLLebron Because of who you are. You may very well up end up with the best stats of all time. You may lead the greats in all kinds of various categories. You may be bigger, stronger, faster, more well spoken, donate more, win more etc, but you will NEVER win the hearts of fans that cheer for players that are true warriors.

I can only imagine all the drama LLLLLebron would command and adulation he’d expect if he replaced Mike in the flu game, or Kobe in the snapped Achilles game.

F you LLLLLebron James. Thanks for reminding me why I hate you.

Now Indiana, go lay some wood on this pansy a** all game long and go take game 7 from this soft candy a** mother f***er!!!

 

Dayam .... you are consistent.

 

I'm consistent because so is LLLLLebron

 

If you like sad stories.

 

What don’t you respect about the guy? And what player do you respect most?

You say his image is propped up by PR, do you know something about LeBron that no one else does? Whoever is doing his PR has been doing a pretty good job for 15yrs.

 

Look, I’m not a fan of LeBron the player but if he comes here and dons the forum blue and gold I will support him.

This is not directed at you per se but I just don’t get the absolute blinding hate especially on everything besides basketball. I know you might think it’s PR but he’s a good dad and supports his kids from what I’ve seen and what other people have told me.

Folks on this forum need to separate LeBron the basketball player from the non-basketball stuff about him.

 

I focus on just his behavior on the court. I know he likes to dictate the narrative off the court, and that is a bit self serving, but also, who wouldn't want to? He definitely has not made himself a public embarrassment in any way that I'm aware of besides wearing "Check my Stats" tshirts and other such nonsense.

 

I did not think of it much. i guess Ginobili. I don't think anyone does know much but i am willing to take my speculation to the arena.

If he joins the Spurs that means he changed. if he did not i am rooting for a different team.

What makes you think my hate is blinding? In what way?

Like people tell the media who is a bad father...

His faults as a human being mainfest themselves on the court.

 

Great movie.
