You said people were "high" for thinking that LeBron was the best player in the league. I'm finding that hard to believe.
He's a two-time champ and back-to-back Finals MVP. There's no longer a sensible criticism of LeBron James.
Sorest winner? I didn't celebrate when Miami won last night. I own not a single article of Heat gear, I'm happy for Lebron and Wade. That's about as far as it extends. I find myself rooting for LeBron because so many dislike him for such silly reasons. I enjoy watching them have to concede.
Oh yeah, I lived in Ohio for nearly a decade. We used to go up and watch the King play and the strippers they had for cheerleaders, I was not emotionally invested in the Cavs, but none of my buddies would listen to me that he would go to Miami. I mean honestly, what does Northeast Ohio offer? His house in Fairlawn was under seige for several weeks that required a police presence.
I think he should have done "The Decision" in QL Arena, ESPN could then televise his escape from Cleveland. Would have made for great TV.
That whole show was the start of my dislike of him. An entire hour dedicated to LeBron. "But the kids". No, that money could have been raised without an hour long special stroking his ego.
Outside of the decision (which is rightfully criticized) and maybe the Welcome to Miami party the Big 3 did, I don't get why people absolutely hate him. I get just not liking the guy, but I don't understand the absolute hate. I don't like Kobe, but I don't want him dead either. I think Lebron is a really likable guy. He's the only reason I watch the NBA.
He seemed more likable this year IMO. I do think he's too damn good to ever flop. It's ridiculous. There's nothing really left to criticize on the floor. I'd still take MJ over him in a heartbeat, but other than that, there's nothing IMO.
I rarely ever watch an NBA game outside of when the grizzlies play. It's a league rewarding floppers and has gotten ridiculous. Then there's Wade. Don't even get me started on him.
I think he practically the same player he was, in terms of attitude and demeanor. The Heat are just under a microscope.
