First they hated him because he wasn't Kobe Bryant.
Then they hated him because he was the best player in the game.
Then they hated him because he couldn't win in Cleveland with Mo Williams. So he left.
Then they hated him because of "The Decision" debacle, which he has since admitted was a poor decision.
Then they hated him because he joined a super team in Miami.
Then they hated him because he flopped on some bad plays. He doesn't do it anymore but people still mad.
Then they hated him because he played way under par against Dallas.
Then he redeemed himself against the Spurs and they hated him for that.
Then he left Miami to go back home and try to make things right by bringing Cleveland a title. And he did it, against one of the greatest teams of all-time in unquestionably the greatest comeback of all-time.
And now they hate him because there's talk that he might supplant Michael Jordan as the greatest basketball player ever.

So if the Cavaliers don't beat the Warriors in this NBA Finals...and the critics rest and say he's not Michael Jordan...what will be the new reason to hate Lebron then?

You forgot one reason the Bron haters and detractors often mention:

the fact that he played in the eastern conference for his entire career, and he made 7 straight finals because the east is weak, and he would struggle to replicate the feat in a extremely competitive western conference.

:troll:

lol

This is so ridiculous to me though.
He played in the east. Yeah. He was drafted by the friggin Cavaliers. He's gonna be in the east.

And then he left to Miami -- but let's go back and be realistic here. Where else could he have gone? There were other teams - sure. But not a single western conference team was in play for Lebron -- UNLESS he joined some great playoff team in San Antonio or the Lakers or some shyt...which would have been just another "super team" criticism.

It's like people either demanded he stay in Cleveland or go play with Mehmet Okur in fukkin Utah.
:why:

The West has not been that strong the past 3 post-seasons.

Look it up if you don't agree.

I agree with the OP, I just wanted to tell him he forgot another reason Bron detractors and haters often repeat.

I see ppl say the west has gotten weak, but they still got San Antonio(bad luck with injuries) and the Warriors.

Let's say the Cavs were in the west. They'd have to play either GS or SA before even reaching the conference finals. The west may have gotten weak, but it's still stronger than the east
