Please dont act like the hate for Lebron is undeserved...

[wtfyomom]

You didn't.

How do you want someone to respond about people who WANT you to fail?

You say something nice about them? I wouldn't expect you too, why are you expecting it out of someone else?

Oh yeah...you WANT him to placate the feelings of those who want him to fail...right?

You can adress them differently then saying "theyre gonna wake up and have to get back to reality" because all the fans have to do that.

Its like if Im with a white friend and hes like "yeah these dudes that robbed me were a bunch of nigggas" and then he gonna turn to me like "oh you aint like that, your one of the good ones" like nah son.

Yeah he talking to dudes that hate him but get on them for something else, not for having to get up and work everyday and deal with personal problems when youve been pampered your whole life.

Its like Micheal Kay, he said the guy who waited on the phone to talk to him was a loser for waiting so long to get on a talk show, but ALL his callers have to be on hold to get on a talk show, even the dudes that are fans of his, so you cannot attack that aspect.

Ppl clown Arod for the same shyt. It's fans being fans

 

[InvictusAeternusEternus]

Clowning is one thing though. The Lebron hate is institutional! You listen to these media folks and they would have you believe Lebron is somehow a narsissist with confidence issues.


I dont know how many times Ive heard paid "proffessionals" say Lebron cant handle pressure situations yet this guy is the most hyped player to ever come to the NBA and is already an all time great who by the time his career is done will be one of the GOATs to ever play the game.

nikkas wanna act like hes fukking Kwame Brown or something! Now there is an example of a guy who couldnt handle the pressure.

This one I have no prob with, cause if I were an NBA player and fans were happy about my failures on the court I'd say some shyt everytime Im on the podium. I'd be sure to remind them that I'll be retired by my mid 30s, and the interest on my money is making more money a year than they will earn in their lives.

I don't even think he was totally shytting on the haters

It sounded like he was saying that the people preoccupied with his failure has nothing to do with his or their lives, so in the end all the hate is really pointless

Not even comparable. Replying to detractors with fact that was taken as a diss is different from flat out saying that a person who waits an hour to get on a sports radio show is loser. The white friend analogy was weak too. Did Bron use any names or epithets? How then can you compare that? Lemme guess because he has money and fame a lot of people look at him even the slightest hint of responding in kind to all the vitriol he has recieved is considered a flagrant diss to everyone, including the people who he wasn't even responding to. That's the same mindset that makes people talk all kinds of reckless to a famous person and then run to a lawyer and play the victim when that famous person responds. Money and fame doesn't make you a robot. nikkas get defensive as fukk on here and in real life when they get called out, even if what's being said is true but athletes, especially spoiled living in a bubble athletes are expected to just take it all in stride.

To add on, I don't even think he was totally shytting on the haters

That doesn't contribute to the narrative so it must either be ignored or spun to fit the narrative. Learn the rules.

I disagree, couldve had said something different, those people dont know me, its not healthy to hate on people for no reason or any reason for that matter, smthg like that, not "they gotta wake up and go back to the real world" in other words they gotta work for a living, deal with real issues while Im gonna be on south beach getting head from some hoes and having my every need catered to by Yes men.

LeBron James has a great game. However he's what nine years deep into his career? Yes, he has 3 MVP's, 3 finals apearances, but truth be told he has underachieved. Could it be the bar was unrealistically set? Perhaps. But all in all LeBron doesn't show any signs of decency. Outside of his game whats really to like about him?

 

[wtfyomom]

I wouldnt say hes underachieved he was just overated. He was still in HS and nigggas had him as better than Jordan.

Overall hes the best player but sometimes the best offensive player is more valuable than the best overall player. Its why Dirk >KG imo

or why Manny>Ichiro in baseball

Lebron cant be given the ball every trip down in the 4th and asked to score, thats why he cant be the best ever, which is fine, but people already put that expectation on him so it looks like hes underacheived. Hes achieved fine, he was just overated from the start.

That is what you took from it, not what he said. A person cannot be held accountable for the depths that people go to based upon their own insecurities. You projected your own thoughts and feelings onto what Lebron said. Confident people who are content with their lives don't make leaps like that. What you did was basically the equivalent of when I tell a female "That didn't make sense." and she replies "You sayin' I'm dumb?". Sad thing is you aren't the only person who took it like that.

What kind of nonsensical statement is this? Talk about a strawman. Stop making up stuff.

strawman? dude I remember being on sohh like why all the Lebron hype when he still in HS, he wont be better than Kobe. and you know wat nikkas said "he might be" that is hype

at "perhaps". Its funny how nikkas and the media set expectations and hype someone/something up and then turn around and blame them/it when it doesn't meet those expectations. Even if you wanna say Bron brought the expectations on himself, that doesnt' mean that you had to buy into them. You have no way of knowing if he's decent or what he has to offer outside of his game. Outside of his game what is there to really give a fukk about when it comes to him? I don't care what kind of person my waiter is just bring my food. Don't care what kind of person my mechanic is, just fix my car. Don't care what kind of person Bron or Kobe or any other athete is for that matter, just play and entertain me. nikkas clearly are in need of hobbies or girlfiends if they are concerned with what kind of people these cats are. The reality is most of them are a$$holes who don't have much outside of their game to like.

I honestly dont care about Brons personality I only really found the back to reality thing egregious, my issue is him, Wade and Bosh attempting to ruin the NBA. That IS fukking up my enjoyment of watching basketball.

Nobody said Lebron was better than Jordan when Lebron in high school and even if they did, why does some idiot from the internet's opinion matter in how you look at an athlete?

"Man, I can't stand Mookie Blaylock!"

"Why?"

"Some guy in an AOL chat room said he was better than Magic"
