LeBron Regrets He Didn't Meet Kobe In The NBA Finals And Disagrees With Durant

[madness]

LeBron was only under criticism in the 2011 season, and mainly because he brought it on himself with his many charades that year. He wanted to embrace the villain role, and ultimately cracked because he can't handle being disliked. When the Heat won the title in 2012, the media was back to slurping him and it has been that way ever since. In the midst of their slurping this past season, they flat-out disrespected Steph Curry by giving LeBron more Finals MVP votes than him which should have never happened. I guess their making up for that now.

Bron Bron has never been as hated as Kobe, by the media. Kobe professional and personal life were under attack for a good 2-3 years, and he was the most hated athlete in America. The media begrudgingly respected him in the ensuing years because they had to. His play forced them to. Durant and several other players know about the media's disrespect of Kobe and called it out.

Bron was getting booed in every NBA arena every time he touched the ball for 2 seasons

if you were ask those same people today why they were booing him, they'd be like

the media did a masterful job making him a villian under the pretense of "oh, it was because he embarrassed cleveland and brought it on himself." he had no choice but to embrace it.

The Magic were the precursor to a lot of the teams you see now playing a SF at PF for spacing purposes, the Cavs weren't prepared to play that kind of team, their big men outside of Varejao & Hickson were all old and slow. Zydrunas couldn't guard Dwight one on one, and Varejao couldn't get out on Lewis, and when he did Shard would put the ball on the floor. A better coach would have played Varejao at the 5, and Bron at the 4 but Mike Brown stuck with conventional lineups with 2 bigs on the floor even though 1 of them was always going to be in a mismatch.


They struggled with with the Magic all year and Mike Brown didn't give Hickson a single minute in the playoffs even though they could have used his athleticism in that matchup.

The 2009 Magic really were the blueprint....

I was just thinking today, about how the 2012 Heat adapted small-ball and space and pace, and how Miami might've set that blueprint. But it was 2009 Orlando, wasn't it...

100%. And that same media made him a hero when he left Miami. That was also the same media that loved him during his 1st stint in Cleveland. Those old Cavs teams were the loveable guys who always came up short because LBJ had no help. Even when he lost to the Magic in the 2009 ECF, that buzzer beater that he hit in Game 2 or 3, was talked about for a while.

People don't realize it, but LBJ hatred was equally Miami hatred. They said we weren't real fans, they said were fairweather, they said we don't deserve LBJ, they said we were a poor sports town, etc, etc. As soon as LBJ went back to Cleveland and wrote that letter, he was beloved again by NBA fans and the media. Even though this current version of LBJ is more stern and Kobe-like then he's ever been, and less about fun.

this is true. cavs attendance was in the shytter when bron left, quicken loans arena was empty every night

what happened?

i thought cleveland fans were loyal and blue-collar, hardworking citizens who supported their teams through thick and thin? why did no one call them bandwagoners or fair-weather fans?

 

[Biscayne]

the lakers were better at every other position except SF. PG is arguble plus the lakers had the better coach.

it would've been boston and cleveland all over again. The kobe stans would never allow lebron to say anything again without bringing up kobe beating him in the finals

Yeah, it would've bode worse for LBJ stans than it would Kobe stans. Kobe stans would use that NBA Finals trump card for eternity against LBJ in these head-to-head arguments.

The 2 poignant days in the last 5yrs when I realized how deep that Miami hatred went:

The day LBJ got to Miami.

And the day LBJ left Miami.

When LBJ left, the they didn't let up on us.

Imagine being a Wade fan, going up against both stan-bases in 2009.

 

[street heat]

It would've been bad for lebron because the lakers would've thrashed those cavs teams

i highly doubt that.

And? What does fans booing him have to do with the media? He was only a media villain(by his own creation mostly) in 2010-11. The media slurping of LeBron continued post-2012 championship.

 

[Reggie]

We should have seen at least 1 Lakers/Cavs Finals. If Bron's team would have stepped up in 2009 when he shytted all over the Magic then we would have had what the NBA and the media wanted. Cause they pretty much let it be known with the puppet commercials before and during the playoffs that Lebron vs Kobe was expected.
