Why hating LeBron as a man is unjustified

[True Lakers Fan]

He took 10mil less

Kevin Durant on decision to take pay cut: "It's my money"

He will make that back through endorsements on getting a championship title or two

 

[trojanfan12]

Except for Moses, Kareem, Durant, etc

What stacked team did Kareem join?

Whatever dude - some people like the guy and some people don't - You say he is a good man, but I say he is an arrogant ass. Deal with it

I agree he is an arrogant ass. He is not my hero.

You missing the entire point. As usual.

Absolutely, being a champion and a Finals MVP raises his stock even more.

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah he is arrogant. Every great athlete is arrogant. It kind of comes with the territory. Some just hide it better than others.

^^^THIS^^^

Especially the some hide it better than others part.

No I'm ignoring it - you say it's unjustified - I'm saying - I don't give a fuck if others don't like him. I don't like either and I don't give a fuck if you don't like it and I don't give a fuck if you think it's unjustified, I still hate the guy

And you're missing the point as to why people hate LeBron - Yes he is a good player - but as you said and agreed - He is an Arrogant Ass - HELLO!!!!! - THATS WHY PEOPLE DON'T LIKE HIM. He may have had a humble beginning, but now he is just a rich MF who think's he is God's gift to the universe. Perfectly justified for people to not like him

You actually seem to care a lot. You been mad from your first post on here.

This thread was never about "liking or disliking".

I feel sorry for you if you "hate" somebody you don't even know personally for reasons so petty.

Actually - I was thinking that starting an entire thread about the LeBron haters was petty and lame. No one has to like the dude - and no one has to justify that to your satisfaction, but by all means, continue to live in your own little la la land where only you dictate the rules and shit

By the way - I think hate is really a little strong - For me any way, I dislike the guy - I don't think there is anything to like about LeBron as a person - as it has been pointed out - He is an arrogant man that is full of himself. That most likely is normal for most players. Not good to get too caught up as a fan of the players and none of them are what I would call good role models for children. Life is far to important for me to get caught up in the lives of players in the NBA - Just saying. Some fans are very caught up and they love to hate the enemy - for many Warrior Fans, Lakers fans and etc - LeBron is the enemy

Why is LeBron an enemy of Laker fans?

The Lakers had never competed against him in a game that mattered. And, there is a decent chance he plays in LA next year.

By the way, did you know that LeBron was a Laker fan as a kid?

Saw someone post this on Facebook:

LeBron grew up poor. He was basically homeless for a significant portion of his childhood. He had little formal education, few role models and limited training.

He married his high school sweet heart. Never arrested. Never used drugs. Never embarrassed his wife with side chic stories. Never in the news with so much as a parking ticket. He has been a great father, heavily involved with kids activities and he has been the best player on the planet for the last decade.

If we are truly being honest with ourselves, I doubt anybody here would be able to live as trouble free a life as LeBron if they had the same background, the big money, and all the media scrutiny LeBron is forced to endure. It is pretty amazing, really.

The arrogance, self promotion and bragging about himself telling us how "he" did this and "he" did that when talking about his team are just too much. There is never a "we" in there. The unmitigated narcissism on display during "the decision" on national TV was appalling and I will never root for the guy.

And that is just fine and completely understandable.

It is also why no matter what he accomplishes, he won't be on MJ's level in the eyes of many. He is easy to dislike.

Like or dislike, he is still an amazing player with a flawless track record off the court aside from the petty.

His performance has been incredible this season. He is the league's best player. My main beefs with him as a player are the crying histrionics when calls don't go his way and giving up when he thinks he got fouled or misses a layup and just stands there not getting back on defense.

Jordan didn't have a real likable personality either. Did you listen to his HOF speech? ROFLMAO.

No one "hates" Lebron as we don't even know the guy personality. hate is a strong word. he's definitely an overrated player however.

His Tots are the most delusional fanbase in history however. And they always have an excuse for Lebron's FAILURES

I have to give him credit there. Although these are things I would expect from any man, they are much tougher to accomplish for a person with all the opportunities to mess up like he has.

Then why do you call him "Lebron" like you do know him?

 

[tlance]

No.

Most people call him LeBron. For the same reason Draymond Green is called Dray or Draymond more often than Green.

I will let you figure out why.

No. Its laughable. I remember that sickening Joy Behar calling President Obama "Barack". She kept saying "Barack does this" and "Barack does that". It was lawful. Its all about people who have nothing in their lives trying to live vicariously through their heroes.

Yeah, because that is the same.

I call Steph Curry "Curry". Kevin Love is "Love". Durant is KD.

It is all about the easiest way to type a player's name that is reckognizable by all. There are many James' out there. How many LeBron's do you know?
