POLL Lebron James and his all time ranking

[Black Adam]

Bingo.

Yes he is arrogant. Name one elite player who isn't beside Tim Duncan.

Fact is, people hate him because he is great and he is constantly in the public eye.

sorry, but this is simply an assumption...

I personally never liked him even BEFORE he stepped on an NBA court...

"dislike him because he's great"? um, no. dislike him because he's a me-first jackass? closer to the truth...

Me First?

This is a guy that has taken criticism endlessly for being "too unselfish" on the court

guess why he's the self-annointed "king" before he even stepped on the hardwood...

got it...

 

[Black Adam]

edit: guess it's

sorry...

I have him at #3, closely sandwhiched between KAJ and Magic, well behind Jordan.

I expect him to play 3-4 more years at or close to his current level of play... which in my opinion would move him easily into the #2 spot and - depending on his title success going forward - may even challenge Jordan for the #1 spot.

As a side note... I think there are 4-5 current nba players each with a decent shot at joining the top 10 - depending on longevity and how many seasons their peak lasts.

yeah i am kind of with CL. Ever since he entered the NBA there has been a cloud of self entitlement that smothered him. Call yourself the king after you win 3 or 4 rings not before..........................even tho MJ is still the King even now.

Still, he is a man child of a player, a great one, but not one I would want to ever have a beer with

lol, just cause Dan Gilbert called him the self-proclaimed King in comic sans doesn't make it true.

It came from his HS days. He went to a Christian-themed high school, and the game announcers started calling him King James and then it caught on with the students.

lol, I don't know what interviews you've been listening to, but can I get a link of LeBron "going around calling himself" King?

Speaking of douchebags how about Yer Boyz @ Gillette Stadium charging the fans $4.50 for cups of tap water when they ran out of bottled water last Sunday? Simply pathetic.

Did LeBron James Call Himself 'King James' In Free Agent Pitch?


The text began: "Yo, this is King James."

"I was like, ‘Give me a break. You're going to call yourself that?' "the player said, on condition that his name not be used. "Do you think Michael Jordan texts people by starting with, ‘Yo, this is His Airness.' Come on, get over yourself."

what do i win?

yeah that was bad. strange weather...like july out. the concessions there ran out of the water they stocked (twice as much as normal).

i heard something about the pats offering a free concession to anyone who paid that, at the game sunday.

And you take that as fact?

If your best example of LeBron "going around calling himself King" is an anonymous player telling a story to an unknown Wizards beat writer reported by a nobody SBNation writer... you'll forgive me for dismissing the notion completely.

I know it's been unusually hot in some places recently. It's been in the 90's the last couple of days in my hometown of Akron. Which is unheard of for this time of year.

[gordontrue]

In my defense, your answer was garbage.

@gordontrue does this count or not?

LeBron James calls himself 'King' with Prince William and Kate Middleton
