Lebron accomplished this feat in 10 years, and you guys are still expecting more from him :mindblown:


And you didn't even put his All NBA and All Defensive teams he has been on. All I want from him as a fan is for him not to blow this opportunity for this ring this year. 2-2 in the Finals looks a lot better than 1-3.

What more do you fukk boys want from Lebron?

They guy is an all-time great, and has proven himself already..

Valid point. None of these nikkas warrant sympathy unless they get hurt or experience a tragedy.

However nothing I said had anything to do with feeling bad. It was all about not creating petty reasons to hate. You didn't answer my question. Do you like any of the athletes I listed? You really didn't address any of my points. :heh: And best believe Mayweather's fans would be copping pleas and :to: on his behalf.

As a Dallas Cowboys fan, I absolutely adored prime TO, Deion, and Irvin. They had swag, they ran their mouths, and they usually showed up and produced, similar to LeBron.

BUT, when they fell short, they definitely took the blame, and deservedly so. It was moreso TO, since honestly, I've never seen Deion or Irvin pull the shyt that LeBron has pulled in the 2011 and now 2013 Finals.

Mayweather is my favorite current boxer. I wasn't alive when Babe Ruth was mashing homers, and honestly, I'd rather watch Sugar Ray Robinson, Tommy Hearns, Marvin Hagler, Roy Jones Jr. and Mike Tyson highlights than Ali.

Regardless, what I'm saying is that shyt-talking and having swag is a part of sports. These guys are the best in the world, and it's perfectly fine to act like it in most cases. However, when they screw up, which they almost inevitably due, it's hard to feel bad for these guys.

Deion used to never even join in on the defensive huddle because his mentality was "I"ll just shut down this half of the field." Most of the time that was sufficient, but those few times where he gave up a long completion, I was definitely super pissed.

All these guys have faults that get overlooked because they're winners. But when they come up short, and they're in the media limelight (like they've always been), I don't feel bad for them when they're portrayed negatively because it was their own decision to constantly put quotables in the newspaper. So to answer the OPs question: No, I absolutely do not feel bad for LeBron in the least. If we're talking about a guy like Dirk or Duncan, guys who never even mention themselves as Kings or Chosen Ones, and they're getting shyt on for not being GOAT, I might feel bad because they never asked for that comparison. LeBron on the other hand...

Him and the media can share the blame. He got all these nicknames and accolades early on. The media decided to latch on and hype him up also since the beginning. The last few days i swear its been either him or Tebow on Sportscenter.

I never said he didn't warrant blame or that he did warrant sympathy. Did you read my posts? :heh: My only point is that dwelling on the arrogance piece is some disengenuous shyt.

There is still a very good chance Lebron wins his second consecutive title this season (after winning yet another MVP award.)

Why exactly is this thread being made now?

:aicmon: Dude how old are you? Are you a fan of any of the following:

Floyd, Ali, Kobe, Jordan, Babe Ruth, Deion, Michael Irvin, TO

Who said anything about feeling bad? :dwillhuh: I just think the "arrogant" angle is silly and disingenuous. People only harp on shyt like that when they don't like a guy and have no basis other than insecurity for not liking the guy. Like I said if you wanna shyt on his piss poor play than fine but all that "arrogance" shyt sounds like a teenage girl made because another chick is getting the attention she wants.

Lebron brought all this on himself :aicmon: your acting like he's dirk nowitzki out there or td being humble an shyt . Personalitywise bron isn't like those guys at all (he's supremely talented true )they all receive backlash to go along with the attention and publicity and accolades he can't get it both ways .

Oh and wearing a check my stats tshirt, saying how people that don't like him will be stuck in shytty lives while he's still Lebron and saying I spoil you with my play when questioned about a subpar game is being arrogant .

Nobody told him to get "The Chosen One" tattooed on his back
Nobody told him to adopt The King nickname YEARS before he ever won a title

Nobody told him to hold a celebration in JULY about signing with a team

Nobody told him to predict 7+ titles, whether it was in jest or not


Don't act like this shyt was just heaped onto him without him perpetuating it at least a little bit, if not completely

So he's already a top 5 alltime player ?:youngsabo: no ones says lebron isn't great but it's a matter of how great 😁
Okay then call him fake. I don't know the nikka well enough to confirm or deny that. It's just :scusthov: for nikkas who ride for the likes of Floyd, :to:, Prime and many of the other arrogant, look at me ass athletes to shyt on Bron for doing the same thing. Like I said before it comes off as petty and jealous teenage girlish.
So your ok with him being labeled fake for acting like he's about that life :stopitslime: but hate athletes they actually back it up . Makes no sense

They don't recieve backlash from niggss on here and throughout various hoods in America. That is my point. You can't ride for those guys and then complain about someone else being arrogant.

its no defense the Spurs could throw at this type of play cuh :sadbron:

Nygga stayed making the other team do jumping jacks:lupe:

I'm only 25, so I haven't seen much of Magic playing ball... but looking at those clips, how do people say that Bron passes the ball as well as Magic?
That's rediculous. Bron ain't NEVER doing no smooth stuff that Magic is doing in those clips. Don't get me wrong... Bron has great court vision. But he be chucking the ball across court to beat the rotations and finding the man on the pick and rolls, not that finesse laden masterful display that I just witnessed in those clips...

Sorry Bron... :yeshrug:

:wtf: What are you even talking about? Is it that hard to respond to what I actually said that nikkas have to resort to Mr. Fantastic reaches or just blatantly making shyt up. :mindblown:

He may not be top 5 yet but I think he's a solid top 15-20 player and rising. The only thing people can be disappointed with Bron is when it comes to his Finals games. But even if he loses this one 1-3 aint bad when you look at in perspective because of who he was playing. The first one in 2007 we knew the Cavs were getting swept. 2011 is the only Finals where we can just shyt on him for not showing up and many people do. And even if they lose this Finals only and idiot would think that it would be a major upset especially when they are playing a top 10 player in history and a top 10 coach in history. But numbers for numbers and accolades for accolades Lebrons resume looks just as good as any player in his first ten years.
