Re: The LeBron James Saga

I think he might get booed in every arena except Miami next season.

Re: The LeBron James Saga

Lol at those tweets. The kill yourself ones were kinda off base (though I know it probably wasn't literal I hope) but yeah 100 mil and Bron can't get a DVR?

That mental list keeps getting longer and longer....

Re: The LeBron James Saga

I'm with Ex in that he really can't believe the things he's saying and that he's saying them just to get a reaction out of people, which he's done a very good job of this summer lol.

Him and Bosh both.

They are soaking up the NwOish villain roles. It's pretty blatant at this point.

James really can't be that big a tool. I refuse to believe it.

I'm with you at this point man. I think they found Floyd Mayweather's 'how to be a villain' book somewhere and they're using every trick in the book. There's no way this guy can be this stupid, unless Maverick and the boys really are this terrible at marketing.

I've been saying that from day 1 on Brons relationship with the city. I KNEW he was one of those...I knew it.

Re: The LeBron James Saga

I don't believe it's an act.

I think he's done trying to be PC and is speaking his mind/feelings and I really believe he is THIS much of a tool. He's been privileged and spoiled beyond belief since he was 13-14 years old. I know enough from spending time with people who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth from NYC or Cape Cod and those people are bad enough by and large - and LBJ is pretty much them times million. If some obscure tool who's daddy owns a hedge fund can be as big of a herb as I've witnessed then I have no doubts that LBJ isn't putting on a show here.

It also doesn't make any sense that such a popular and beloved athlete who already had an insane amount of attention would go on a scripted heel turn. Guys like Ocho Cinco, TO and Mayweather act a fool for the attention, LBJ didn't need to - he already had all the attention in the world and it was mostly positive.

I hate to say it but in a way he's a microcosm of what our country has become. Self-entitled, narcissistic, attention-starved and looking for the easiest path to success with the least amount of hard work involved.

Re: The LeBron James Saga

He's got how many people near him, giving him advice, and not one of them told him that referring to yourself in third person makes you look like a superultramegadouche?!?

Dayman can't believe that.

I agree with the last part. What's funny is I would say it stems from the "Twitter/Myspace/Facebook" age, but from what I understand James barely created a Twitter.

I guess he's looking to The Rock for guidance instead of NWO.

"You will see the light of people when they hit adversity. You'll get a good sense of their character."

Does he know that that goes both ways? How did he handle adversity in game 5 again? Oh wait...

Everyone is acting like a tool when it comes to Lebron.

I don't see why he should be exempt.

OSUFan_88 does not think he is acting like a tool when it comes to LeBron.

OSUFan_88 thinks he is spoiling the Pro Basketball forum with his posting.

OSUFan_88 is taking his talents to the Gamefaqs.com boards.

There's a slight difference between you and Lebron.

Lebron went from a HOF awful city to beautiful South Beach while OSUFan_88 is going from arguably the best message board to the worst.

I think that's a stretch, I don't see how MJ, Magic, etc are acting like tools. Barkley has taken it a little far but I wouldn't call it toolish behavior. Plus it's act-and-react based on LeBron's actions. Without LeBron acting like a major tool there isn't all this backlash from others, toolish or not.
