You can dislike LeBron all you want, but stop acting like he's definitively unlikable. His popularity has increased tremendously since that first year at Miami. Everyone in the NBA respects him as a player and a man (besides the outliers like Dirk clearly) and you should too.

You also forgot Cleveland owner and 49 states in USA that did not want Miami to win the championship according to the NBA poll.


I am not hating on Lebron. I am just tired of people giving him a God complex as if he is so perfect he can not be criticized. I am tired of the NBA marketing Lebron as the next MJ and insisting he is better than him

There are legitimate and rational reasons for the criticism he gets.

i obviously wont change your mind but i just find fans like you to be head scratchin but lebrons response to jordan that you just posted wasnt even rude. like at all.

Miami did not score in those seconds.

The NBA purposely made calls and did not call fouls so they could score.

It is IMPOSSIBLE for a team without rigged NBA ref calls to lose in less than five seconds if they are up by five lol


If the Spurs were playing another team, those two fouls would have been called.

Dirk had to step out a game because of that leg or knee injury so I do not think that is hardly "small" or something to minimize and even if it was just a small injury it is immature to laugh at someone's injury

Why are you justifying his immaturity?

You Miami fans are hilarious lol

Yall make it seem like Lebron just wins all those games BY HIS SELF and has no help... smh

He definitely was not the reason why they won that championship...Ray Allen was.

[YorkeDaddy]

Which is why Ray won Finals MVP over LeBron, I totally forgot

Why did Lebron bring up the number of rings Bill Russell has in order to belittle MJ's comments if he was not trying to shade him?

Sounds like shade to me.

What did the number of Bill Russell's rings have to do with MJ's opinion?

Lebron needs to sit down with his two brought ring self.

YES, I KNOW. You've made that EXPLICITLY clear MULTIPLE times. All I've seen you do on this thread is bash LeBron and the Heat, and whine about the Spurs not winning a championship because the Heat cheated and got all the calls and...

I just don't want to hear anymore of that.

Anyway.

lol. That's hilarious. This is a good time to talk about the glaring problems with the Knicks though.

1. Stoudemire is GROSSLY OVERPAID for his level of talent, and the Knicks are now stuck with him for quite some time after signing him to an INSANE deal.

2. Smith is a loose cannon, literally and figuratively with all the shots he puts up, and can't stay out of trouble.

3. Felton either can't stay out of trouble or goes off the deep end during the offseason.

4. 10:1 odds Melo WILL leave the Knicks after this season, so NY will be star-player-less, which means that...

5. The Knicks have got to understand that they will never get past the Pacers or the Heat with their current roster, and so they should start rebuilding NOW with Anthony leaving. AND a good place to start rebuilding would be trading away Melo for a pick in this year's INSANELY deep draft class, but it's too late for that obviously...

Regardless of whether the Knicks say they are competing or rebuilding, they're doing a TERRIBLE job at both: Using a ton of their cap space signing Stoudemire, and then passing up an opportunity to get another pick for this year's insanely deep draft class.

To me, the Knicks are tied with the Lakers for making some of the most boneheaded decisions this year.

Gosh, who will be lucky enough to land Melo and his 20 second jab step.

realtalk after this i think im done talkin with you because i find you to be inane and ridiculous with your basketball thoughts.

-lebron wasnt shadin jordan, hes done nothin but praise him. ppl like you hang off of jordans nuts but the reality of the situation is that the nba promoted the hell out of mj and loved him because he took the game global. if you dont think jordan got a ton of calls or that the bulls wouldnt have got the exact same call the heat got in the finals then youre outta ur mind

-the fact that you called dirks injury fatal..... lol.... i think thats all we need to show how bad u reach for ur hate

-every player has help (see hall of famers dennis rodman and scottie pippen) but theres no doubt lebron makes average players good and good players great. see his entire career with the cavs for evidence


-nobody in the history of sports has ever had the pressure of hype that lebron has had and he has somehow surpassed it all and went above and beyond. him and jordan will be the 2 greatest ever and its a shame you cant appreciate that because of ur hatred and irrationality. youre missin out.

-your notion that miami choked by winnin makes zero sense lol. please realize the things you have typed, they are insane.

wpnfire, i too think knicks screwed up by not dealin melo. knicks have had 20 yrs of poor management and bad contracts. worst of all they have no assets to trade. they literally cant even improve because nobody wants to go to that mess of a franchise, and even if they did the knicks dont have the money or players to trade. amare is on a max deal i think and he comes off the bench.

felton literally might be the worst point guard in the league so i think his arrest is a blessin. jr smith has always been a complete loose cannon and his time needs to be done. the only bright spot other than melo is tim hardaway jr whos looked smooth as a rookie and chandler. there is just no reason for melo to stay on this trainwreck. i hope for everyones sake he leaves because melo is one of 3 guys in teh league who can totally take over a game. hes so talented its unreal. i used to think he was part of the problem but lately im realizin hes the only one even keepin the knicks mildly relevant
