Whats your opinion of Lebron James?

[QUOTE="HammerSmashBass"]

[QUOTE="rawsavon"] ...blame them for what :? Being a business that is about ratings and doing something to get rating...something that did not 'hurt' anyone??? His people called ESPN. Why would they not do it?pimpog

It's about principles and being a legitimate network. ESPN is always trying to make LBJ bigger than the league when he's not. Dude hasn't even come close to winning a ring and they act like he runs the NBA.

I don't really dislike him, but he is one of the only single athletes that I pull against. The people around him since he was a kid helped turn him into the giant ego-maniac we see today.

Whatever, though. He can "continue his greatness in Miami" I suppose.

he's the best player in the nba right now, bar none. he's a douchebag spitting in cleveland fan's face on national television though. why not just sign with another team like every other player ever? why did he need to do that?

i hold no grudges though and i'm a clevelander...

I'll take Kobe over LBJ all day, even at this stage.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"]LULZ ESPN is a TV network, not a church. They want ratings (hence why they talk about the Yanks, Sox, Cowboys, and Lakers so much). Lebron special = ratings = money for themHammerSmashBass

No one said anything about church, it's just sad that ESPN is willing to contribute to this prima donna bull**** that's killing the game of basketball.

i'll take kobe lifetime, but right now as we speak lebron is the best in the nba as far as raw talent. of course it takes more than just that.

The look at me prima donna attitude is a very large part of what has crippled basketball, and ESPN eats it up.

He's a great player but he is a little stubborn at times.

Money is not everything but it can buy most everything. Glad your not the ceo of a company or your stocks would be worth less than paper they were written on. ESPN makes programs that they think people want to see. How long would they last if they started only doing stories on the nice guys on the end of the bench ??

Some of the stars are very cocky but they have a right to be if they can back it up imo.

Agreed. Wade has shown that he has the stones to carry a team to a championship--James hasn't.

[QUOTE="-Tish-"][QUOTE="mems_1224"] Kevin Durant>Lebron youger, already as good of a scorer and works hard to get better. lebron still hasn't improved his jump shot or developed a post gameHammerSmashBass

Great player -seems to lack that killer instinct -a little full of himself (who wouldn't be after being told you are the greatest since age 15) -did what he wanted to with his career (good for him) -a little stubborn (does not want to run the point)rawsavon

I like this response.

he has the same amount of rings then me....and kobe is better

I'm from Cleveland. What do you think? :P

I find that I have a lot in common with King James. For one, I have as much rings as he has, which is ZERO! :P

I don't hate James. I just want see him and The Heat completely fail.
