The LeBron James Thread

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Kyrie Irving.

Anyway, I thought we were past this kindve stuff....guess its at least one more year of breaking down why "his smile isnt genuine"

That was in my Fav 5 from last year.

It's not my fault if you cannot see how he is an attention whore.

He's fake. I don't give a damn about his smile, his personality and everything just scream pretender. That includes when he does a post game conference telling everyone that he is a leader. No, when you have to tell people you are a leader, you usually are not a leader.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Youve got it wrong OSU, I simply dont care. His name isnt Manu, Tim or Tony. Ill leave you to fume over his actions.

I was just commenting on the subject at hand....its just funny because one: LeBron clearly yelled at Wade to do it.... two: Brandon Jennings did the same thing two nights ago...I was behind Cam when he did it. Guess that makes Wade the middle brother?

I love it as a Charlottean....we need all the exposure we can get...

anyway, like I said....not serious...

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Honestly it's not even about overanalyzing everything he does and all this other stuff that we got to get in whenever anyone wants to rush in to LeBron's defense. I wanna like LeBron again. We've been hard on him (and rightfully so) for a while now and I gave him some points for that interview with Rachel Nichols and like I said, it's made me wanna like the guy. However everytime he does something noteworthy to step back and say...'hey maybe it's time to give Bron a break,' he just does something that's irritating. It's not even like this kind of stuff is exclusive to LeBron. If there's some guy you work with or go to school with that does stuff like that and the coughing thing, don't try to tell me that you wouldn't either comment on it or it'd just irk you a little bit because of the annoyingness of it and the juvenile behavior of it.

It's not just picking on LeBron and any little thing he does, it's him being a ******* and continuing to do things (big and small) that are routinely associated with people in life, that the general population can't stand.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

The general population might feel a certain way about some things, but I can guarentee a very small niche of people see this as noteworthy.


Pretty sure everyone was talking about the "situation" at hand, I believe your post was the only one making reference to anything last year.



I mean, at the base of it all, what did he do here again? lol

Seriously it's not about over analysing everything he does? In actuality the general population would look at the clip of what LeBron did & the posts in this thread and think "these guys seriously let that bother them?" You want to like him, but it irritates you this much to see him doing the celebration with Wade?

Since some people keep ignoring what really happened: It was not a diss at Cam & it was not a spontaneous celebration OR Wade's idea.

If there is one thing I can guarantee, it's that this celebration was most certainly planned.

It's what the Heat do best. Make secret plans behind closed doors.

I didn't say this was noteworthy, I said when he does something noteworthy like his interview with Rachel Nichols. It was noteworthy cause it was good for Bron, it was something that helped put him in a positive light. As for talking about last year, I was talking about this "situation," I wasn't talking about last year just putting context to my point. I mentioned the coughing thing from last year to make the point that it's not just picking on LeBron. People would be annoyed by anybody that does things like that and the general...follow behind whatever big brother Wade is doing...by the way, I watched the video again just to be sure...at what point does Bron tell Wade to do what he did? He was calling Wade who didn't look at Bron once and did the gesture, to which LeBron started doing it after Wade.

I think what you guys continue to ignore in your rush to defend LeBron from every single comment made about him is no one is even making a big deal about it. Look at what was said. Hell nobody was even going to mention it until wwharton bumped the thread because in the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal. However it's just another little thing that Bron does that adds up to why people don't like him. I don't get why that's so hard to understand.

Wonderful another one of THESE types who thinks people are losing sleep over LeBron. Exactly what is THIS much? So should we not discuss things on this here discussion board? I'm not typing in all caps, I didn't lay into Bron over, so exactly what is THIS much?

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Wade isnt even looking Cams way until Bron calls out to him....watch it again....he stopped and turned around.

I definitely understand the criticism he gets.....but in cases like this, when it's clearly not even what it was brought out to be....it's just looked at as being extra.

And what you guys keep ignoring in your rush to hate the guy, is that more people have the attitude that your reaching as opposed to those who actually want to "defend" him. I comes to a point where it gets old....and more and more are starting to feel they way, they are over it....and I don't see why that's hard to understand either. The majority agree that he made major mistakes, but using that as back drop to nitpick is what's played at this point.

"These types"...lmao. I think continuing to type giant paragraphs in defense of your LeBron hate over a non-issue is what I mean by THIS much. Cmon man, you are are rewatching the clip to make sure it was something severe enough to warrant your hate! Let's see, multiple posters exclaiming how much the celebrating irritated them. Reasonable posters come along to say "wow settle down it's not that serious." Now you're being defensive because LeBron defenders are so out of hand? Nobody came in here and said the guy is flawless.

Look what was said? You seriously think all the comments made about this ridiculous non-issue were reasonable? Reaching that they were trying to diss Cam Newton? Getting mad when Jalen Rose didn't think it was a negative? At least wait until he does something that is actually worth complaining about.

You said it's not even exclusive to LeBron. There is NO WAY this even gets mentioned negatively if Durant does this with Westbrook after a huge shot. Oh look Durant and Westbrook are getting along and having a blast out there!

But did you even read my post 24th? You're talking about in a rush to hate (I know you're trying to use my statement against me there) I didn't do or say anything to hate or hate on LeBron. I simply said he needs to stop making himself look like a follower and stop doing things that don't help him repair his image. Nobody was hating him for this thing, it just doesn't help him, so why even do it? It's like getting out of prison after ten years and then running right back on the block with Ray-Ray and the crew and then when the cops start ****ing with you, you're crying that they're picking on you and following every little thing you do even though you aren't doing anything. LeBron is not stupid. Dwyane Wade is not stupid. They know the game, they know the media, they know the fans. They know how they'll react to things and yet they constantly, especially LeBron continues to do things that he KNOWS people are going to use for whatever agenda they have. Don't cry about being a villain while continuing to give people the fodder to make you one.

Since when was the LeBron hating bandwagon focused on him acting like little brother? I thought it was all about shying away from the pressure in the finals, teaming up with others stars, and 'the decision'? When it is at the point where people make a big deal about this, I'm not sure he could ever do anything to make the haters happy.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Damn you wwharton lol.

I was gonna mention that, but thought it really wasn't worth it since it's just the same old thing with Bron Bron. Dude takes steps forward, then takes five steps back by doing something that's....not even stupid really, it's just....doesn't do anything to HELP him look better. Stop making yourself LOOK like a follower Bron.

Exactly where is the hate in this?

I'm gonna need you to figure out what a big deal is before you comment further here. wwharton asked a question there was like...two posts about it where the tones of the posts weren't even overly negative before the 'zomg why do people make a big deal about everything LeBron does' posts started popping up. It's like you can't even talk about ANYTHING the dude does before he's getting defended.

So you're blaming a parity post mocking LeBron haters for turning your comments negative? The funniest part is it fit right in with the rest of the thread. If I left out the first line you would've thought I was a genuine fellow LeBron hate r. Let's not forget he was called 'a spotlight craving idiot' before I even posted anything. And what were you calling him in this line? "it's him being a *******."

You seriously think all the comments made about this were reasonable? Reaching that they were trying to diss Cam Newton? Getting mad when Jalen Rose didn't think it was a negative? At least wait until he does something that is actually worth complaining about.

Listen, anything made of this non-story is making it too big of a deal. 24th said it better than I ever could with his last post. People just use his past mistakes for an excuse to nitpick every little thing he does. If you can't see how this is nothing worth whining about, I'm never going to convince you.
You still won't even acknowledge that it was clearly planned. I don't know how you watch that video and come away thinking LeBron saw Wade and then copied him.

I'm done with this topic. Feel stupid for even feeling the need to defend myself over this but w/e.

Works both ways. Some of Brons transgressions get no pub whatsoever.
