CL was talking current, not past tense. Correct?
but there is no question that he was and that his reputation has not fully recovered!!
I agree he was, but that wasn't involved in the current conversation.
As far as recovered, he is #1 most popular, so I have to disagree with you there.
I don't particularly blame Lebron for this, but more ESPN!! It was ESPN that sold Lebron on "The Decision" and it was ESPN that deserted him when the whole thing blew up and people didn't react as they had hoped!!
Whether you like it or not, the Heat are now looked at as villains by many and as a member of the Heat, Lebron is lumped in to that. This is not necessarily a bad thing either!!
I agree the Heat are looked at like villains, and as a fan, that is a GOOD thing because it equates to winning.
Once again though, I feel like you are now trying to put words in CL's mouth.
He wasn't talking Heat. He was comparing James to Durant and saying the media perceived Durant as a good guy and James as a villain, which simply just isn't true.
