Honest Answers Only - Why do you (yes you) hate LeBron

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Steph's game is way more enjoyable to watch than Lebron's

Sure is but Bron will always be the stock with the least amount of risk attached to it. A 25 year old Bron gets you to the 2nd round AT LEAST no matter the conference with marginal teammates. Steph for dolo is liable to have long nights with bigger defenders and double teams...that's how I feel

Let's see how the careers of Kawhi and Durant turn out. Right now he's not the best SF, 2 years from now he may not be the best SF of his generation. Not to mention Bird has 3 rings and 2 FMVPs against much tougher competition. Let's leave Lebron at top 25 now until further notice.

Kawhi has some of the best coaching ever with no initial expectation. If he wants to be mentioned in that category then he better start hanging up some rings to offset those factors. I will go as far as to say Durant's career up till now has been a disappointment. From a drafting perspective nobody has done better than OKC...not The Dubs, Spurs or anyone else.....Bron had to leave in order to find 2 players in Miami worth a damn...OKC has drafted James, Serge, Adams & Russ not to mention acquiring Jeff Green who was the ideal 4th or 5th scorer. Now if you want to point the finger as to who stopped KD from winning then you open a can of worms in terms of his leadership. Kevin has been a great individual talent and he is flourishing in his role now but his shortcomings as a leader is the reason he skipped town in the first place. If the best player on your team is scared to look someone in the eye and assert himself then we are at a disadvantage already. Larry was the alpha dog of superstacked teams so that helped when dealing with the fierce competition they had to face. Lebron' durability has been unmatched. Lebron is 14 years in and is still widely believed to be the best in the world...that counts Top 25? lol Stockton is top 25..imo Bron is top 5 right now

Because Jordan actually drew the attention of the defense in both cases which lead to the open shots. Not the same thing at all

those logical fallacies

 

[Thehoustonastro]

It's simple. He was crowned way too early. King James years before he did anything. As a Laker fan and Kobe stan it was infuriating hearing people say Lebron was better. Even when Kobe was getting to the finals every year and Bron was never there.

Remember this shyt?! Why was Lebron even part of this campaign? Last go back a lil further actually.

nikkas had this guy on a God level before he accomplished anything. I think Lebrons a good guy, love that he's kept his image clean all these years, family man, stands up for us. But nikkas just crowned him so prematurely only to have him go ring chase in his prime. Think about that, he went ring chasing in his prime. Who does that? And the nikka almost got away with it too.

this the most reasonable response I've seen on here

You havent made it until you faced the scrutiny of critics and fans.

There is ZERO difference. Stans/fans are always gonna ride hard for their mans. Which is why I dont get why cats get so asshurt because the stans/fans will go to war for their favorites. "I DONT LIKE LEBRON BECAUSE HIS FANS THINKS HES THE GOAT. I CANT FORM MY OWN Opinion AND BLOCK OUT HIS FANS COMMENTS. LET ME TELL YOU WHY HES NOT THE BEST. MY GUY IS ACTUALLY BETTER THAN LEHOE" shyt is corny.

Its ok to criticize. Its ok not to like and not be a fan. Its ok to point out the holes in said persons game. But if your reason is anything because "his fans said this. His stans say that" Its corny as fukk. Period.

Cats forget as great as Kobe/Jordan are/were, these cats got their hate too while active. Comes with the territory. When Bron winds down and is in his last season, people will be looking back at all the great things hes done. While the next superstar will be under the spotlight getting all the criticism as his forefathers once did.

The other greats also benefitted from a Social Medialess era. I blame social media as another contrubiting factor to the hate.

Like dude and Op said there's no difference between the Lebron or MJ or even Kobe Stans. But them nikkas are acting like their shyt don't stink. Y'all criticize Bron for the dumbest shyt and then wonder why his fans go through great lengths to defend him. Y'all can hate all you want. But don't get mad when nikkas are on the other side of the argument. Your futile attempts at persuading us are uneeded.

Don't hate Lebron, it's the opposite. I'm a Warriors fan sure, but my love for the game preceded my fandom of players or any specific team. Bron is a role model for a lot of young black men out here, so why tear him down.

 

[BlackDroog]

EDIT: I don't hate Lebron (anymore). I grew to respect him over the years. I eventually let my hate die around the same time as Gilbert's career.

 

[New Username]

Criticism isn't hate

Lebron is one of the most pampered NBA player of all time and now we can't criticize bruh

 

[HabitualChiller]

fukk Lebron

Go Clemson

 

[notPsychosiz]

Valid. Did you do the same for all other players that didn't speak on it? What about past stars that chose not to speak up at times?

Personally, I don't like MJ or Charles Barkley either. I didn't bother to delete them, no, but I don't play with them.
The only nba personalities I trust not to poorly represent on any topic outside of basketball are Kenny Smith and Jalen Rose.
I don't pick them in 2k, but I do support thier works. Meet the Smiths, Jalen & Jacoby, any 30for30 they do, etc. Jalen has a new show coming out called Jalen vs Everybody I will check out. And by 2020 I hope to be a JRLA supporter (Jalen Rose Leadership Accademy). I also like Ron Artest.

But I'm not hating on LeBron out of leftfield, the thread asked why ppl didn't like him.

The dude that's been criticized more than any modern athlete is somehow the most pampered in your mind? How Sway?

 

[HabitualChiller]

When he didn't stand up for Tamir Rice I wrote him off FOREVER.
No coming back from that.

I erased him from the nba roster on 2k on PC cause I don't even want to see him.

Did Jordan speak on Rodney King? Nope.

Yea I wasn't coming at you, just wondering. I started teaching my son years ago to view these dudes as one thing and one thing only: entertainers. Expect nothing in terms of social consciousness or representing us from athletes, musicians, actors, etc. They get paid to entertain the masses and that's it. When a guy DOES speak out or something its great, but I don't expect it. That's why I don't really hold those things against them. I DO hold it against them when they say some c00ning nonsense though.

 

[notPsychosiz]

Did Jordan speak on Rodney King? Nope.

Yeah, I don't rock with Jordan. AT ALL.

I fks with Kobe.
"He raped a white woman" is ppl's arguement against him, but keeping it a 100, I give 0 fks what happens to white women.
ppl also say "He snitched on Shaq".

Shaq is a cop. fukk Shaq. You can't snitch on a cop. Its a cop. Its not your buddy, its not your pal. Its an armed enemy there to harass and hinder your minority community.

So while Kobe is a selfish piece of shyt, the 2 main arguments ppl raise against him don't hold any weiight with me.
If all he does is go around dropping buckets and giving L's to white women and cops, thats a hero and a legend.

That may be the most real nikka defense of Kobe ever . I want to respond but I can't without riding for ol c00nin, can't take a joke, wanna be POlice Shaq, or caping for some random wite wimmin
