Kevin Love Calls Out Bron For Being Passive-Agressive

[10bandz]

what human you see walking around doesnt?

I’m just talking about with the way he deals with his teammates not a lot of humans are the most polarizing figure in their profession

an aspect of greatness both good and bad

I mean that was Bron at his passive aggressive peak lol I remember he would post something on IG or Twitter every week about that team subtweeting

The Cavs stepped in and told him to stop that crptic tweeting so he unfollowed them lol. I think it was 2016 before the RJ trade

nikka EVEN SHIPPED HIS "BEST FRIEND" WADE OUT

If he "shipped" Wade out, they would've got something that could be immediately used in return, not a pick. Otherwise, we're messing up the other agenda where Bron DGAF about a franchise's future

 

[Bryan Danielson]

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.

The irony of using that as a weapon to kind of shyt on him is.... MJ and other champs would do the same

A chaotic Cavs stint didn't shake the LeBron-Wade friendship

"Altman thought back to a conversation he had with Heat general manager Andy Elisburg three or four weeks before the trade deadline, sources said. Elisburg made his way through the Cavs' roster alphabetically, rattling off the names he could see the Heat making an offer for. When he got toward the back end of the Cavs' roster -- W is the fourth-to-last letter, after all -- he said something to the effect of, "Yeah, and you have a 2-guard that we have a little bit of history with." Altman told Elisburg at the time that he was contemplating a major overhaul, which could change Wade's role on the team. Elisburg filed the information away, informing Heat president Pat Riley of the dialogue.

On the morning of the trade deadline, at just past 9, Elisburg heard from Altman again. Would they want Wade back in a Miami uniform? The Heat were in the market for a perimeter player after serious injuries to Dion Waiters and Rodney McGruder. And they were riding a five-game losing streak."

I wasn't dumping on Lebron. It's a testament to how badly he wants to win.

Fair point

But can you like someone and still be fake towards them

Fake to me is smiling in someones face when you actually can't stand them. I don't think that's been Lebron's style. He isn't direct and shys away from confrontation. It's a flaw, but it doesn't make him phony. If you want to win as many games as you can in May & June, trying to ship out Lonzo Ball for Anthony Davis is a sound choice.

 

[MJ Truth]

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

Every other player on the court at the time guarding Curry and we get the same result.

 

[Ziggiy]

I honestly don't think Bron fakes that.


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.

Fair assessment

I didn’t plan to go here, but the whole fit in/fit out thing from your first year with LeBron. Was he right?

I think on one end it was extremely passive-aggressive and silly. But at the same time, I feel like I did have to find my way and fit in. But it wasn’t an easy process for me. I think right now if that happened — it wouldn’t because I believe who I am now and the growth I’ve had — but I truly believe that you have to understand. That’s why I never make assumptions. We’ve talked before about “The Four Agreements,” right? Never make assumptions, never take anything personally. Well, obviously I took that personally. I wish I could’ve handed them that book and been like, “Listen, you’ve got to understand what it was like to be the main focus, 20 shots a night, be ‘the guy.’” My star dimmed a little bit to have to sacrifice. 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. I think Champ (James Jones) helped me to understand, “Listen, just be yourself and everything else will fall into place.” But to really fully get there, it took me a year and some change.

Lol at Love wanting credit for sacrificing his role as a stat stuffer on mediocre teams to be an underachieving role player on a championship team. Love was exposed with the cavs and I’m not sure why people don’t go harder at him for that. Before he got there a lot of people thought that he was the best pf in the league but his time there proved that to be a joke. Lebron haters blamed (Lebron-ball) for Love’s underachieving but AD has put that to rest with how he’s been able to excel even with Lebron having the ball in his hands more now than in Cleveland. I don’t doubt that Lebron has passive aggressive tendencies because he clearly does, but love should be nothing but thankful because Lebron is the reason he has playoff experience let alone a ring.

People hate on Kevin love but dude actually impressed me during those cav title runs. He came up clutch quite a few times. Like putting the clamps on curry to clinch that final game. Something that still blows my fukkin mind to this day. But I don’t know whether that’s more telling of Kevin love or steph curry .......but that’s neither here nor there

he was coming off an MCL strain breh, the shooting was on and off but the lateral movement clearly wasn’t there

couldn’t take Steven Adams and Kanter off the dribble, meanwhile this year he was blowing by Kawhi in the finals

with that said he still airballed the shyt out of the shot and could’ve played better

I'd take Cedi in the Lakers right now. Do you think the Cavs would take Kuzma?

 

[Luck]

Nobody likes or respects a passive aggressive “leader”, not even up for debate...And this is at any level. That comes from being raised with no real direct male influences.

Before you dumbass Bron flufflers quote me, yes they ended up winning so like sports adage goes; winning solves everything to a certain extent and it worked out to certain extent.

Even with the whole trying to be buddies with everyone, relevant, that’s in the league. This isn’t a surprise to anyone...
