[Hoofbite]

Anyone see his post-game comments?

“All the people that was rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today,”

“They have the same personal problems they had today. I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that".

“They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal. But they have to get back to the real world at some point.”

Something tells me this type of childish behavior won't win any of his haters over.

The more everyone hates him the more I like him. I guess he just reminds me of myself so much. On the court mostly.

But really you can tell that question hurt him and he went back about as hard as he could. He doesnt like not being liked. And he went to Miami to get titles to try and feel the love asap.

So, you hide on the baseline during your pick up games at the YMCA?

Or he only plays three quarters.


Ok...anyone else can add their own LB joke.

There isn't much he can do to win over haters.

He made a major mistake with The Decision and everything was downhill from there.

His major sin, though, is that he isn't Michael Jordan. Most in the media over-hyped James as the next Jordan. James isn't. And so now most in the media are punishing James for not being Jordan.

The put-him-up-on-the-pedestal,-just-to-knock-him-down trick is a great way to generate viewers, sports radio listeners, and plenty of mock outrage.

The media is partially to blame, that is true.

However you can't label or promote yourself as KING James, then do that whole decision program and not expect backlash.

Not only was the decision wrong, the fact that he just tried to tell everyone they have garbage lives and he will go back to his life. Yeah, his life where he is the biggest goat in all of sports right now. Yeah LeButthead, go back to where in belong. In the fan's doghouse.

All of this is very clear in retrospect.

But the idea of using one's fame to generate big dollars for charity isn't necessarily a bad one. And the TV show apparently generated millions for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Obviously the idea was very poorly executed (in a number of ways) from a PR perspective.

Funny thing is, the Greenwich, Connecticut Boys and Girls club is probably the last Boys and Girls club that needs money. Greenwich is the most affluent city in America. The running joke was the Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich is probably the only Boys and Girls Club that has it's own Polo Team. He was going to Miami which is one of the poorest major cities in America. To do it in Miami or even Cleveland would have been a better choice. Want to do it in Connecticut? Try Bridgeport about twenty something miles up I95. They could use the money.

Yeah, yeah, I know it went to "The Boys and Girls Club of America", but if you spread that 2-2.5M around, it comes out to nothing. A donation to a single club would have been a lot more effective. (it could have built a real complex for a city)

LeBron is a tool.

So you can throw as well as Eli and play basketball as well as LeBron.

You're wasting your life away.

 

[DallasGirl50]

When he was making fun of Dirk that was it for me...he's a spoiled brat who needed to be brought down a few pegs. He needs major PR work ASAP.

I haven't heard him refered to as King James since he left Cleveland.

At first, his comments angered me a bit. I thought, what another prima donna athlete and some other expletives.

But then I realized something about Lebron about 5 minutes later and I wasn't angry anymore.

Lebron James is a loser.

You see, there have been countless athletes that have gone thru similar trials and tribulations as Lebron. They said Jordan couldn't win it all because he was too selfish. Said Kobe couldn't win it without Shaq. Said Steve Young would never get the monkey off his back. Same with Peyton Manning. Said Aaron Rodgers was no Brett Favre.

I could go on and on.

Most of those guys shrugged it off. There were those who got pissy with the media and the fans. And many times, rightfully so.

But, they took it from a different perspective. They took it as 'how dare you question my greatness and I am going to enforce my will to show you just how wrong you are.'

You see, that's how winners think. They either keep plugging away or they take umbrage and are determined to prove their critics wrong and will come with all hell, fire and brimstone to prove these critics wrong.

Say what you will...even T.O. had this type of attitude.

Lebron doesn't. Instead he would rather point out what he perceives as the shortcomings of others.

It's like watching a guy who is running a race and has no chance of winning...deciding to trip the other runners up instead of doing his best to run his best time possible.

I used to have a teacher who said he would always take the A- student over the A+ student because the A+ studen has never failed and they would have issues with overcoming the times when they finally failed.

That's Lebron. He was always the A+ student in basketball. But now he's facing some real adversity in the game. He can no longer blame his teammates and not being surrounded with enough talent to win.

He had his golden opportunity to shine and he blew it. And he will continue to blow it because he doesn't have the mentality of a winner...the mentality that Dirk, Barea, Chandler, Jason Terry and other Mavericks players had....to win a championship of his own.

Your teammates are sleeping with your mom and your opponents are nailing your girlfriend?

His twitter account name.

 

[NeonNinja]

His twitter account name.

IIRC, he proclaims himself as "King James" when he texts fellow NBA players.

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

Yup. There was a story a few weeks ago from an NBA player who said that when Lebron was trying to recruit him to come to Miami to join the trio, he introduced himself on the phone as "King James".
