The difference is MJ and CP are who they are. They didnt pretend to be some fake "the team is my family" type of guys like Bron does..


I honestly don't think Bron fakes that. :manny:


He seems like he genuinely enjoys building camaraderie with his teammates, he just has passive aggressive tendencies when he's displeased whereas a guy like MJ would directly get in your face at practice or during film sessions. All HoF, iconic level ballers are demanding in their own way and I much prefer the direct approach, but there's been too much love shared about Lebron from his teammates for me to believe he doesn't genuinely make an effort to form a relationship with his guys. Most issues with Bron don't stem with how he approaches the team when things are on the tracks, it's how he handles it when the train goes off the rails. Being nonconfrontationally passive aggressive doesn't make you phony, but it can be annoying.

So at least just acknowledge it. All I wanted was a little bit of love. All I wanted was (a pat on the back, an arm around the shoulder). I never got that. I think I just wanted a little bit of love. Not even notoriety, just an acknowledgment of, “Hey, listen, we know that you’re sacrificing.” That was not there the first year.

so it's ok for players to say shyt like this now? :stopitslime:
I thought coli love tough guys

Man that's on Steph lol. Love didnt put no damn clamps on Curry. Curry had him on skates but he showed all game 7 he wasnt made for that moment.

So if DWill was guarding him instead you saying Curry wouldn’t have planted a three in his face?

Passive aggressive.
Nonconfrontational.


Its a character flaw. He'll ship his own momma out for a ring. Doesn't mean he didn't genuinely like them. Business is never personal.:manny:

I like how Kevin is being honest about how hard it is to go from #1 to #3. Also liked how he admits Bron was right even though the approach was off. Don’t think it was a shot at all, everyone knows he’s passive aggressive.

The difference is MJ and CP are who they are. They didnt pretend to be some fake "the team is my family" type of guys like Bron does..

Yup, that’s the difference.

You can see he's "fake" but Bron got all them nikkas paid and at the end of the day that's all that should matter. TT got $80 million, JR got $40 million, Shumperts bum ass got $40 million.

he can feel how he feels but why would someone who is potentially up to being traded say this now? Does it help him or hurt him?
