LeBron James Addresses His Haters

ok. I am not going to argue with you about this, or that topic if it ever came up, simply because I don’t are about which player anyone “likes/feel loyalty towards.” To me that has nothing to do with it. There is no loyalty when rating players. If I told you all-time pick a team of 5 to save your family. You would not pick 5 players you felt loyalty towards, you’d pick the ones that you feel are the best.

Lebron is lashing out at the wrong people. He should lash out while looking in the mirror. I hate that he brings up God when he talks about winning. For believers it’s offensive that he would suggest that somehow God gives a sh*t about a damn game, and that he specifically will be given a championship. God’s will is the reason you played like sh#t? C’mon son. For non-believers it just sounds stupid. I understand that reporters ask stupid questions for the sake of getting a reaction, but Lebron just isn’t very media-savy. He plays into their hands by saying dumb stuff. He should know better as many years as he’s been in the spotlight. Whoever is responsible for his P.R should have done a better job of preparing him for hostile media. He seems like he really read the articles and started to believe the hype. A young black man should know better. He should’ve known how the mainstream media would turn on him. I mean, he’s more hated than Ben R#pistburger and he’s never even been arrested. It’s Lebron’s own fault that he was too dumb to see the backlash coming. Leading the Heat to the chip would have been the ultimate middle finger to the haters. Instead, he lost while playing crappy and adopts a woe is me attitude. I’m not even a fan of his anymorem

LEBRON NOBOBY’S HATING! JUST DISPOINTED IN THE WHOLE DAMN TEAM…WELL JUST ANYTHING IN LIFE…MAKING PROMISES U CAN’T KEEP…THAT’S HOW U GIVE PEOPLE FALSE HOPE…..THAT’S RIGHT JUST LIKE CHARLES SAYS; YOU ARE NOT ROLE MODELS!

It’s hate. When you focus on a single player, on the losing TEAM, in a championship series of a TEAM sport, you are hating. You can get defensive if you want, just means your ignorantly hating. Is LeBron an egomaniac? probably. does he need to be more humble? definitely. but is it his fault Miami lost? no, it’s Dallas’ fault. Does Miami losing in the finals (which is further along then most everyone predicted they would make it) make LeBron a failure? not at all. Have all you idiots forgotten about the Boston and Chicago series, where LeBron was clearly the best player on earth? yep, because this hating right here, this pointless BS, is more entertaining, or makes you happier, whatever. If you want to have a conversation about how LeBron could have been better and what he did wrong, that’s not hating, that is discussing and examining. People are using LeBron losing in the finals to the Mavericks to say he’s worse then Kobe and all sorts of other irrelevant sh*t. which is hating, and its pointless and stupid.

It kills me how Miami has the “Big 3″ but when it’s press conference time, it’s always Wade and James together while Bosh goes on dolo. And y’all wonder who’ll be traded this off season??

LeBronchitis: an exceedingly rare, progressive disorder primarly affecting the esophageal tract of overhyped ballers from Akron, Ohio. The onset of this condition may be marked by profuse sweating, girlish nailbiting and a reluctance/refusal to make clutch shots (particularly in the fourth quarter NBA Finals games). Other symptoms may include but are not limited to: choking

Me too Black. It’s befuddling how he played. I would assume he uses his resources to find someone that can help him figure things out. — I can help him figure things out actually, he just needs to find a comfortable offensive move or area or whatever to go to when things aren’t going his way. Steve Kerr spoke on this on a few radio shows this morning, and I agree. What seperates LeBron from the other greats is his lack of a marquee move, like Jordan and Kobe’s post-move fadeaway, or Dirk’s pinch post-up, even Derrick Rose has that little double cross move that he counters with a spin when he’s in trouble. LeBron has go 30 feet from the basket and run full speed….that’s not really a very useful weapon in a half-court situation. I can help the Heat too, I’ll shoot the ball from anywhere on anyone, so let Pat know if they need someone who isn’t scared to give me a holler lol.

totally agree lebron has no go to move. He needs to be around the correct trainers, I noticed certain tendencies in his game. He can be a lethal three point shooter if he hesitates before he shoots. He can’t catch and shoot, he has this hitch before he goes up in the air, and normally if he is allowed that time he becomes a knock down three point shooter. I think he has the mentality of a street ball player still, which is fine, but he really needs a go to move and constantly work on the footwork and perfect it. He needs that trainer who worked with MJ and helped D Wade rehab his shoulder his name was like Tim or Tom Grover.

Tim Grover. He doesn’t really help develop basketball skills. He is literally a trainer. The best thing for LeBron would be David Thorpe. Thorpe taught Kevin Martin to be effective at any level. He works with players on usable skills, he’s the type of person LeBron needs. IMO

People are finally seeing what I saw years ago in this guy. He’s not a leader, he disappears in big moments, and is immature and quite a prick. He proved that he isn’t even the best player on his team, Wade carried that team to 2 wins in the Finals. I never thought I’d say this, but they are gonna have to revamp that team, yet again. The Big 3 stay, but they need to let a lot of those guys go and get guys that are gonna make a difference. They need to keep Chalmers and get rid of Bibby, Juwan Howard will likely retire, they also need to get rid of Erick Dampier, Eddie House, Mike Miller, and Jamaal Magloire. They need to get some veterans that can contribute and show LeBron and Bosh what it takes to win. Cause LeBron just doesn’t have it. He has no excuses, and he knows it. He came to Miami to win, not 1, not 2 not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7. So, he has some big words to back up, and he isn’t doing it. I think Chalmers is their point guard, but if not, they need to consider going for a guy like Steve Nash. Add him to the mix, and as bad as I hate to say it, they are basically unstoppable. LeBron will have his day, I’m sure, but people are always gonna say that he couldn’t do it without a stacked team. And, they are right.

for example see the post by “the promise” the first sentence? he’s tripping.. i like the rest of what he’s saying though.

developing a post game comes after you develop midrange game if your a wing player. If he was a center or power forward you would be right, but playing in the post won’t do him much good if he can’t shoot. Its not like you can put him on the block every play, he wouldn’t be a wing at that point.

well then I would suggest he switch up his jump shot form if that is possible

well its not like LeBron can’t shoot Tom, he can. He just seems to have a little too much movement in his form. Few things I would cut out of his shot if I was given the time, but other then that repetition is more important than form, atleast from my experience it is (Reggie Miller, Chuck Person, good examples of what I mean).

No i feel you, but these guys atleast had a fluid motion, lebron shoots best when he hesitates for like a second and then go up for the shot, his most favorite thing to do are crazy fade aways, i feel thats because he gets to pose in the air for like a second before he releases. But in all honesty he is an nba top professional. He has to be getting repetitions in daily, I feel there is something fundamentally wrong with his mechanic, and whatever the problem is gets stressed in late game situations. What it is, I am not sure. All I know is, that most of the time when he shoots, as a fan I hope the ball goes in the bucket but I am never confident in it.

Somebody needs to pull on this cat’s coattails and tell him you can’t say whatever comes into your head. You just can’t do that.

Damn

He has trials and tribulations just like the rest of us. No1 is immune 2 that.

@hammer dude who gives a sh** what he said, i dont, lebron could die tmr and i would go about my life as if nothing happens, if you honestly take anything an athlete says to heart, you are a moron, these dudes get payed milllions of dollars to play a game children play, and no im not saying my life sucks or yours, but i would switch spots with lebron in a second, even today i would rather have lebrons lifestyle then mine, and if you say that you wouldnt, then you sir are full of sh**

lol @ snasty10: So you’d “trade lives” with ANYONE who is rich? Okay…

Why do you care what people are saying about Lebron, snasty? You are taking criticism of him very personal. See how that works? No one is taking what he said personal because he doesn’t know us and we don’t know him. That doesn’t mean people can’t be disgusted at the attitude he’s displayed throughout the series. You are coming off like a kid. Why would you want to trade lives with anyone you don’t know? Do you know everything that he deals with on a day to day basis? Do you know anything about his real life besides what you read on the net? For someone who’s criticizing other folks comments you sure made a dumb one yourself.

The one time he did go in the post he looked like Bill Cartwright.

Nah, it was more like Will Perdue

@hammer i respect that answer, i didnt see that while typing

Everyone is rich, depending on one’s perspective.
