"I don't think he ever cared about LeBron. My mother always told me: 'You will see the light of people when they hit adversity. You'll get a good sense of their character.' Me and my family have seen the character of that man."

third person... niiice... that displays a little bit of character too douchenozzle.

"It's not far, but it is far," James told GQ. "And Clevelanders, because they were the bigger-city kids when we were growing up, looked down on us. ... So we didn't actually like Cleveland. We hated Cleveland growing up. There's a lot of people in Cleveland we still hate to this day."

so... you really hate cleveland? you dint have to spell it out fucktard, you explained how much you hated cleveland with The Decision

"Charles was probably trying to be funny. It wasn't funny to me."

Charles is real, and he isnt full of himself, and he calls it like it is. thats why he is funny. LeBron is the opposite of all of this shit.

During that postmortem interview, when Moehringer asked James what he'd change if he had a do-over, James replied, "Nothing at all." Bottom line: LeBron doesn't really care how it went down.

if Bron Bron had any sense he'd at least give some kind of half-assed "I wish i handled it better."

he went from the next big thing to the most hated player in the NBA besides maybe Kobe.

Yeah but at least Kobe shows up in the spring.

so what does Lebron think of lebron sulking and half-assing his play in game 5 of the eastern conference semis when lebron's Cavs were down and were facing the adversity of falling 3-2 in their series with the Celtics?

 

[Miami Flash15]

LeBron currently has the mentality of it's me against the world.

Who is Barkley to talk? Guy has like a 250 cholesterol level and never won anything, sit down and eat a $5 box, tubby.

"If there was an opportunity for me to return," he told the magazine, "and those fans welcome me back, that'd be a great story."

that's some bitch-made shit right there....

LeBron will come back, but pnly if you love Lebron again

what would be great is if melo leaves to new york and that core of talent picks up better talent than miami

Exactly what I was going to say. He quit on Cleveland and instead of facing the adversity by himself, went to Miami so it wouldn't be as hard to win. He's that type of guy, oh well, but don't go calling out other people and talking about their character when you break down when shit gets tough.

What can you really expect from the guy though? He was touted as an NBA superstar since like his sophomore year of high school. He just expected championships to come because people said he could be the best ever. A guy like Jordan didn't expect them to cut. He was at one point cut from his high school team and then worked his ass off to get better. Nothing was really handed to him, he worked for it.

.

If it's all about HIM against the world then why the fuck did he go to miami to team up with D-Wade for?

shouldnt it be them against the world? I mean that was the whole point of this, right? the Princess needed help...

No, I meant it as in it's him against the world now since everyone is taking shots at him. Not as in it's him against the world basketball wise.

 

[Bear Pand]

I feel bad for miami fans who feel like they gotta defend this clown.

 

[FedEx227]

Yeah he's really very out of touch with the general public's thought on him. This was not a good interview for him at all.

 

[mgoblue2290]

No, I meant it as in it's him against the world now since everyone is taking shots at him. Not as in it's him against the world basketball wise.

Because he deserves to have shots taken at him. He's acted like a complete idiot through out all of this.

For me and probably a lot of other people, LeBron is making the NBA more interesting again. We now have a public enemy number one and a team everyone can hate together.

 

[FedEx227]

I went from being a huge LeBron fan to someone who really despises him, but I'm kinda glad. I now have a team to openly root against, and the second tickets go on sale for Chicago and Milwaukee I'm grabbing their games against the Heat.

 

[jeffx]

What's with this caring shit? Who expects their boss to care about them? All they have to do is pay you.

LeBron's really going down in my eyes.

 

[FedEx227]

It's clear he's a very insecure, immature person.

 

[Argath]

lol @ anyone expecting any better from him.


This is the first time LeBron has ever had to deal with people hating him. Of course he comes off as immature, up until this point everyone he's ever known his entire life has told him he's the greatest thing to walk the earth since jesus.

You and everyone else.

Lebron's just doing his job, working for the Heat. He's giving every fan of the sport a reason to buy a ticket when they're on the road.

He shoulda saved some paper and just said "Come hate me bitches"

The league needs a villain....and since James is so good it will make it even better. I think he'll handle it well and given the fact he's playing with Wade and Bosh I don't see it having much influence on his game.

I think James is going to be driven to shut a lot of people up, but he has to remember that as much as he's going to win that it won't matter, because he'll be doing so with another superstar and star player. As long as he's playing alongside Wade it'll never be enough.

Anyways, I was a fan before all of this and still am. I tend to not care about how guys are off the court, so as long as they perform on it.

The league already has Kobe, easily the least likable elite athlete not named Barry Bonds.

Nobody would be spewing Lebron hate, had he simply signed with Miami without doing it on ESPN like a out of control megalomaniac. THE DECISION was his downfall, not exercising his right as a free agent. He owed Cleveland nothing.

 

[IamMedellin]

I dunno about that...

after the Lebron joined Wade's threesome, Wade did interviews and embraced the Hate...made 9-11 comparisions b/c Wade does not Give a fuck

Lebron is just stumbling and bumbling into it, " I HATE Cleveland fans!!, but I might like to come back if you can love me again"

He can't fully embrace the hate, b/c he needs the reassurance of being loved by everyone, he has that A-Rod Bitch made syndrome...

oh and Really ESPN? Disliking Lebron is exclusive to white people? niggas can't even hate anymore :smh:
