    cant say for sure since it didnt happen, but i will definitely say i would have liked them less.

    although its not just lebrons flopping either. its his condescending attitude, his sometimes subtle but not subtle digs at teammates, the arrogance (which i know kobe had too, but in a different way), "the decision" and more.

    if i could purely look at what lebron does good on the court that would be one thing, i just see so much more i dont like haha.

    Early in his career he had problems shaking hands after his losses.

    He is so protected a story of him looking at strippers got buried. Don't buy on the point straight ESPN PR on this dude. Bill Simmons and Amin Elhassan did describe him multiple times as a petty controling teammate and player.

    Did MJ ever went in front of the press and said he moved to point guard without consulting with a single soul?

    MJ was the most arrogant of the great players mentioned. He wouldn’t be a good example, and he would have been less effective at traditional point guard. The triangle didn’t require it. LeBron could play point guard/point forward better than any of them. So for him to make that proclamation, especially on a team with limited talent, is not a shocker.

    Seriously. Jordan punched his own teammates in the face and that's acceptable behavior, but not shaking hands with your opponent is the worst thing we can come up with about LeBron? Jesus. Good thing we Laker fans have had nothing but heroes to look up to who never made any actual mistakes.

    I honestly respect pettiness more than this faux attempt at defaming LeBron's character. The reality is he hasn't done anything truly awful as a player or person as far as we know. In a world where LeBron can do anything he wants, he hasn't had a cheating scandal, he hasn't had big family drama, he hasn't had a financial blow up. @GlickenGoshDebate Tactics is seriously insinuating that we should judge LeBron for things behind the scenes that there's zero evidence of. Anyone agreeing with that mentality needs to really stop and check themselves in the mirror first.

    This is sports. You want to be petty and hate a guy because he's not part of your team? I'm all for it. Go for it. But call it like it is. We all hate the C Bags right? Why? Because they're the C Bags.

    Toronto is done. It’s a mental thing... and the Raptors are weak-minded fools. I’m sure they’ll be swept again.
