Absolutely. Especially for a city and organization he clearly feels he is better than.I think he cares very much about his pure basketball legacy ... not buying that at all

Yeah that's the kind of Freudian slip that to me emphasizes that the GM might be fed up with Lebron.We already know his peers don't respect him but now his GENERAL MANAGER is sending shots at LeBron? My GAWD![]()

Legacy probably but I don't think he cares about the Critism like he used to, when you get unfairly criticized for 8 years it's like whatever to him,
Criticize him for not evolving his game, but saying he's scared of other team? Come on now
Who's going to post that God of lebron's reaction to gettin the ball stolen from him?![]()
I'm a Lebron fan, but he's right. Dudes like Mike and Kobe had that "I don't give a fukk" attitude when it came to the opposing team and sometimes even their teammates. Bron is sorely lacking in that regard.
The issue with LeBron is and will always be his streaky jumper, his confidence and approach is directly tied to whether or not his shot is working for that game or series. If the shot is working then everything else works, if his shot is off his teams generally fall apart.
Niednagel all but predicted that Utah Jazz forward Karl Malone would struggle under pressure in the recent NBA finals. He's an ESTP type--Extroverted, Sensing, Thinking, Perceiving.
"He's not predestined to fail in the playoffs, but until he learns how he is wired, he's going to continue to fail," Niednagel says in the den of his Laguna Niguel home.
He says brain types react different, depending on the situation and the sport.
Here's what he wrote about ESTP basketball players, such as Malone, before the NBA playoffs.
"They generally win the beginning rounds of competition, being harder pressed as they approach the pressure-packed national finals."
Niednagel writes that those with Malone's brain type tend to be streak shooters who, "in big games, have a tendency to get too hyped, speeding up the tempo to the point of adversely affecting shots and passes."
And, the greatest ISTP of them all, Jordan.
Niednagel says ISTPs are the fiercest competitors in sports and respond consistently to pressure better than other brain types.
"There will never be another Michael Jordan unless he's an ISTP," Niednagel contends.
Niednagel says Jordan's rare combination of physical and mental superiority has made him an athlete for the ages.
"I could show you a picture of Michael's brain," Niednagel says. "He's strongest in the right posterior part. His No. 1 gift is spatial thinking. It's his No. 1 cognitive trait. It's what he's seeing now or what he's seen before. He can pick you apart because he has incredible visual memory. He'll just break you down until he's picked you apart."
Unlike Jordan, the Lakers' Bryant is an ISFP--Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving--the same brain type as Scottie Pippen, Jordan's teammate.
Not bad, but not Jordan.
Players with Jordan's brain type are fine-motor dominant, wrist shooters, whose shots consistently hold up better under pressure.
