I'm not defending his history, and I know he has an overinflated ego. I just don't think the interperetation people are placing on these particular words is accurate. It's standard these days that the media latches onto whatever they can to make a strory, even if a little twisting of the words and assuming has to be done, and fans latch onto whatever they can to use against players they don't care for, even if a little twisting of the words and assuming has to be done.
Obviously LeBron didn't use the best words, but I have no doubt that there is a much higher percentage of people who dislike LeBron that took offense to his words than neutral people (no particular like or dislike).
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, these are not trained speakers/politicians (who still misspeak at times), and they were understandably not in the clearest frame of mid giving the emotion and disappointment of what had just happened, so it doesn't bother me that LeBron didn't use the best possible words to answer a question that was really pretty crappy to begin with.
