You're a good poster, but I'm sick of LeBron & his entire act. I'm sick of the passive aggressive shit he pulls, how he tries to steer all NBA convo back to him, & how he acts as a defacto GM each season. It's annoying AF.

& I'm even sick of Bronny. & I feel bad saying that considering he's a kid/his medical scare, but I can't take him being shoved into our face because he's LBJ's son & LeBron wants to play with him someday.


He doesn’t try, he just says shit and the media responds/tries because of how fucking insanely good he’s been. His podcast with Reddick is literally the opposite of that from what I’ve seen. They talk actual strategic shit. But every LeBron comment is co-opted by the media by idiots like SAS or Skip. And those two idiots help drive whatever the popular convo is.

People talk like he wrecked the franchises he goes too. He’s won the Finals on every team he’s ever joined he’s fucking incredible. The hate is just silly to me

I’ll never forget his comments about the bubble vs Adams’, lol.

He's an attention whore. Right after LAL were swept by Denver last year, he immediately starts the 'I might retire' talk which everyone knew was BS. He was stepping on the Nuggets thunder.

All time great. But I'm sick of him.

He’s the oldest player in the league. Him saying he might retire is a legitimate statement. We have people on this thread talking about it.

He’s not 32. He’s old as f. He could’ve easily retired if he felt like making a lot of money elsewhere, the fact this is something you say is so funny.

Because it was disingenuous! Everyone knew he wasn't retiring last year. & he's not retiring this year.

People are sick of the act. Yeah, he's great...he's amazing. But that doesn't mean people like him.

“The act” lmao. What other athlete gets that dumb thing attached to him. People hate him because he’s “too good”. If he was terribly now, people would like him so much better. That’s just insane to me as a person who likes sports

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/10/2024 8:41 pm : link
It was an act. He wasn't retiring, but he wanted to put it out there so it could dominate news coverage for a couple of days.

He's an attention whore. I honestly don't get how you think otherwise. Again, an all time great. I'm not disputing that. No one is, as far as I can tell.

Really enjoy you as a poster. You’re just dumb in this one. That’s ok.
What did he do  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 6/10/2024 9:12 pm : link
From where he came from.

Zero athletes in the entire history of America can say they’ve been homeless to Billionaire status. With no off-court/field issue. While being at worst like the 4th best player ever at their sport ever with a good argument for best.

The negativity around him is the single dumbest thing in sports I’ve seen.

It’s just sad pathetic hater thoughts to me. You can appreciate what you don’t like. What he’s done and still doing is nothing short of historic.

I’m just a fan of greatness. Doesn’t get much greater than him.


Besides being a selfish, me first, coach killing player, what I really hate about LeBron is that his flopping and in game whining changed how games were officiated. Only recently did the NBA get away from rewarding that type of bullshit and the product got immediately better.

Insert LeBron. All time great, don’t care for him. Don’t like the league he’s had a major role in creating and I’m excited for his exit, hopeful for a culture shift. I thought the NBA was great before and even during early LeBron years (including the years he whooped my Bulls asses), but it cratered. I care more about the game than a single player.


Well said.

LeBron has tanked top 5 in FTA 2 times since he was 29. Zero. Despite being the best perimeter interior pentrator since Dr. j.

“He gets so many calls/FTs!”.

Is this how dumb it gets? Easily provable how laughably wrong you are.

He deserves more FTs if anything. He’s the #3 interior scorer since Shaq/Giannis despite having a great game elsewhere. If he damn he got Luka reffing, do you not understand how unfair he would be?
I appreciate greatness  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 6/10/2024 9:32 pm : link
That simple.

Seeing how stupid people talk about LeBron’s legendary self is just sad. Do what you want. You’re just dumb if you’re hating on everything he’s accomplished. Just sad stuff. Good luck.

Calling people dumb, stupid, pathetic, etc, etc because they don’t care for LeBron James, lol. I hate to break it to you, but YOU are the one that’s coming across as dumb, stupid and pathetic on this thread. You’re embarrassing yourself. Nobody on the planet should be this offended by what other people think of any player. You’re acting like you’re his freaking wife. It’s uncomfortable, really

That would be the big issue for Hurley plus the West Coast may not be to his or his wife's liking

I am glad he is staying at UConn
I agree with Osi in that LeBron gets far too much shit  
Sean : 6/10/2024 9:55 pm : link
His longevity is incredible. However, I've recently come firmly on the side that he'll never be Jordan. I used to be on the fence, but Jordan just meant so much more to the NBA than LeBron does. Jordan had a far greater reach, he moved the needle more. I think part of that was the era he played, not having social media & for the most part only playing for Chicago. LeBron just doesn't approach that.
Slide 3 is perfect

Lebron - ( New Window )
 
christian : 6/10/2024 10:15 pm : link
Peak Lebron is the only player I've seen who is in the same conversation as Jordan. I'm 41, so I was too young to see many of the greats.

At his best, Lebron was the plus version of Magic. And he was that for a ridiculous length of time. Even old AF LeBron is a very good basketball player.

I don't pay any attention to the off-the-court stuff, so whatever drama he did or didn't create means nothing to me.

I kind of file him in the same bucket as Deion. He chose were he wanted to play, and was great at every stop.
