LeBron is an enemey of Lakers fans because there used to be an argument who was better- Kobe or LEBron--- and now you look like a total ass clown if you try and make an argument for Kobe- and he has already passed up Magic as well---- some asshole from Cleveland passing up 2 Lakers greats makes them hot under the collar.


Supporting cast for last two Kobe championships would be called "tomato cans" if they played with LeBron

Lebron's laughably ignorant (and probably racist) comments today make it very easy to hate him as a man.

Gotta respect him as an athlete.

I don't remember him saying anything ignorant or racist. I would need to see the direct quotes you are referring to in order to believe that - but everyone is a bit prejudicial or bigoted sometimes. Hell, I can't stand the homeless - they are too lazy to work, they often come into clean restaurants where I eat and trash the restrooms and quite often are doing drugs and panhandling.

I heard the same.

I honestly don't get why reporters do that. So annoying.

Agree. I get that there are certain questions they have to ask and that sometimes they may need to ask a couple of times before they get an answer (especially if the person being asked is being a bit evasive), but when they've already answered similar questions and yours...stfu and move on.

Wrong.
James looked like a petulant school boy with his Sunday suit and shorts on stomping out of the room. The reporter was just fine; James was the a hole.

He was wearing IT3's pants as a tribute, but it was a bad choice...

I only know IT3 as the "Infant Toddler Temperament Tool" Sounds about right for James

Russell Westbrook: I wear the stupidest outfits in the league.

Lebron; Hold my purs...er, I mean beer.

Obviously a sarcastic response.

But yeah. His back must be tired for carrying Cleveland as far as he has.
Yeah... it's part sarcasm. It's also part LeBron being the arrogant d!ck he is and has been through the prime of his career to now... this is only a grain of sand on the beach.

Good enough reason to dislike him personally for me.

Again though.

Not what this thread is about. I totally get the dislike.

Also, I do think he is in a position very few athletes have ever been.

He is CONSTANTLY criticized for everything under the sun. And, he has a strong desire to gen liked. Yet, he is constantly put in positions where he feels the need to defend himself.

Yes, he is arrogant. This particular quote doesn't strike me as that, however. It is more LeBron trying to defend himself and his legacy against the constant and often unjust criticism he faces.

Ok... fair enough... although I don't personally see a distinction with much difference between 1.) I hate LeBron as a man and 2.) I personally dislike LeBron.

Both are kinda leaving pure basketball ability out of the equation and judging him on other terms.

It's nice that LeBron doesn't cheat on his wife apparently... but that's kind of a low bar to respect... (even if a whole lot of other people manage to trip over such a bar).

Dude's an arrogant pr!ck... that's why I "hate" on him.
