you can call him a jerk off for tattooing "the chosen one" on his back.
you can say he was an idiot for "the decision" special in summer 2010 to leave cleveland for miami
you can say he shy's away from the last second shot or that he used to.
you can begrudge him for leaving miami to go back to cleveland.
you can begrudge him for many things.
but one thing that only a Know-nothing Sports-moron or someone completely biased against him would say, is that he did Not live up to the hype.
this is one of the most asinine things i have ever read.
i have followed sports for nearly 4 decades.
i have followed the NBA since 1985
NO PLAYER THAT HAS ENTERED THE LEAGUE IN THAT TIME HAS FACED MORE PRESSURE TO WIN THAN THIS GUY
PROBABLY NO PLAYER IN HISTORY (NOT WILT, NOT RUSSELL, NOT MAGIC, NOT BIRD, NOT MICHAEL) FACED AS MUCH PRESSURE AND EXPECTATIONS COMING INTO THE LEAGUE THAN THIS GUY
his team's games were on national television during his senior year of HS multiple times for crying out loud
cover of every sports magazine when he was only 18
Michael was picked #3. Kobe #13. Lebron was picked NUMBER ONE and was the end all be all according to the sports media
in 15 years in the league he was won 3 titles and been to the NBA finals an astonishing NINE TIMES
again, love him or hate him, that's fine, but please do not insult my sports intelligence by saying he UNDERACHIEVED vs the expectations.
that is COMPLETELY ASININE especially since NO ONE BEFORE HIM IN THE NBA FACED THE PRESSURE HE HAS
oh and btw, at 33.5 years old, HE AIN'T DONE
i am fit to be tied
