We set Lebron up for failure brehs

[LurkMoar]

Think about it brehs everybody was crowning this nikka the chosen one
The CHOSEN one, i remember people arguing that he was going to be the greatest ever.



I low-key feel bad that anything less than GOAT status means that he's a failure

Im sorry Bron, we just wanted to believe that we could see another player the caliber of jordan in our era. We wanted to experience the magic, forgive us bron bron







Im not even a bron hater but i just feel the media and people put too much expectations on an 18 year old highschooler to be the greatest ever.




The chosen one brehs

 

[Brown Ant]

Lebron aint Liu Kang, he aint no chosen one, nor was he thought to be that He's just media whored up because David Stern needs another circus attraction.

 

[Codeine Bryant]

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

 

[jadillac]

I thought it was LEbron who started calling HIMSELF King James and the Chosen One?

 

[MVike28]

Yall brehs gonna set a record for Bron threads

 

[Leonard Washington]

The Chosen one

 

[Lakerman0834]

Only 12 yr olds and ESPN were hyping dude as he GOAT even before he stepped foot in the NBA

Nobody told him to get "The Chosen One" tattooed on his back

Feels like 2010 again

We can talk about his subpar play all day but seriously you really brought this shyt up?

If SI crowned you "The Chosen One" you wouldnt' role with that shyt?

Lebron actually means "King". And beyond that it's a play on his last name.

LeBron - Meaning Of LeBron, What Does LeBron Mean?

The Heat chose to have that celebration and millions of people who were chose to watch.

Like I said we can shyt on his play all day but to bring this hate-fueled baseless shyt up is just .

 

[LurkMoar]

The name Lebron is of African origin.
The meaning of Lebron is "king".

Okay, how about the Face Of The League a.k.a. Best Player In The World a.k.a. MVP a.k.a. Reigning Finals Champion a.k.a. Jordan/Kobe "rival" says "flopping is a legit strategy"?

Or how about this dude being petty enough to want summer league footage of him providing help defense and getting scored on confiscated in terror of his image?

You LeBron apologists will stand up for this dude no matter what.

At the end of the day, nobody put a gun to his head and told him to act like a Champion years before he ever was. There's a thing called "humility," and LeBron would be wise to learn it, and learn it quickly. How the fukk are we supposed to feel bad about a guy who was calling himself The King and Chosen One YEARS before he ever won a title...

This is a day and age where players are supposed to ignore the media and go out and handle business. Now we're giving LeBron a pass for all this self-indulgent, arrogant shyt he's pulled because it was all driven by the "media"?

If you want to eat up all this talk about you being GOAT and literally get that shyt tatooed on yourself, then be prepared to deal with the fallout of your shortcomings.

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? 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.

You realize that the whole point of the thread is OP stating that he "feels bad" for LeBron because of outside expectations? I'm pointing out that he did nothing to ignore/curb those expectations and instead, chose to further hype himself up by taking the media's absurd proclamations about an 18-22 year old kid and running with it.

If you want to talk about his game or how otherworldly his statistics are, this is the wrong thread...

You think if Mayweather lost, people would feel bad for him after all that ridiculous shyt he's talked? That's what I'm pointing out here.
