Kobe wasn't on championship teams when he got drafted. plus, how can you be drafted on a championship team when the team in the early 1st round you were selected by sucked the year before? they just had better management and scouting. also, when you have the feeling of getting a ring, you want another one because they know how to be champions. shyt Kobe was about to bounce from LA because there was no help for him on the Lakers during the mid 2000s, but he decided to stay, and look at how he is perceived now all because he has won 2 rings since. but, in hindsight, for "basketball reasons", Lebron going to the Heat was actually the best thing to happen to the sport because of all the high ratings they be getting now, and has expanded the sport of basketball. I ain't hating on him, but I can see why he does get the monster hate he gets, even though a bunch of the hate is unfair, but he brought it upon himself and he has to live with it
Please dont act like the hate for Lebron is undeserved...

Who are you talking about here? Kobe was drafted by the Hornets and traded to a Lakers team that was signing arguably the greatest big man in the history of the league. Magic was drafted to a playoff team with arguably the greatest big man in the history of the league. Bird was drafted a year earlier than he came into the league to a Celtics team that was ready to compete. Duncan was drafted #1 only because the Spurs' best player, David Robinson, had missed the previous season... the same David Robinson who was only a few years removed from an MVP and was still an All-NBA/All-Star dominant big man.
The point of my statement is none of these guys had any reasons to complain and leave their situations (and Kobe/Jordan both complained plenty, something LeBron never really did at all when he was in CLE); they were all on well-managed squads. .
i never understood the hate
if you a cav fan cool go ahead and hate the nikka for leaving but its just crazy how all these people all of a sudden started hating him cause he signed with another team
it aint like he was the first to do it
Shaq left a championship level squad in orlando to go to LA cause he was "ring chasing"(his exact words) and nobody gave a fukk but people hate Bron cause he was tired of playing with bums and wanted better teammates?
i dont get it
Your problem is that you are thinking for yourself, thinking logically, looking at the big picture, and remembering facts accurately. The hate for Bron has nothing to do with fact and what actually happened. It's not about logic it's all about emotion, insecurity, and mob mentality. Bron is basically the popular girl in high school that the other popular girls turned on and now everybody in the school has turned on her and most of them don't even know why.

I mentioned that he apolgized to make a point. Dudes in here were acting like he said nothing wrong.
I dont dislike Lebron, don't wish any ill will upon him....that being said I wanted to see him fail against the Mavs b/c I'm from Dallas and I want to see him fail this year b/c I went to school in Oklahoma.

I can't stand Lebron either and it kind of irks me when the CapNsaveBron brigade try to make it seem like people can't hate his ass. Why not? Lebron don't pay my bills... It's just a sport. Am I going to get mad at Laker fans for hating Boston? No I wouldn't! You can hate who you want as long as you don't wish nothing bad personally.
Bron is the best player in the game although KD has a lot to say about it right now but to me Bron is a bytch made dude and I don't give a damn what anyone says.
My hate started when Bron started to fill himself a lil too much and started dancing against the Bulls. I've watched a lot of basketball in my life and I don't recall any of the greats introducing the soul train line throughout the game. It was unnecessary and disrespectful to me. It all started there and everything else fell into place.
Like I said the man is amazing as basketball player but it don't mean I have to like him either.
