    I'm Done Hating on Lebron James

    The guy plays the game with flawless fundamentals, is one of the greatest physical specimens in the history of sports and is a very unselfish teammate. Off the court, I've talked to a few people who have met him and they all say he's very very nice. By all accounts, he's supposed to be a great person of the court and a great ambassador for the game



    Yea he acted like a dickhead last year with the parade and his arrogance in the finals, but there was none of that this year. He was much more humble and just played with the right attitude



    I'm a huge Bulls fan and if the Bulls don't win the title next year, I'll root for Miami to win again

    People hate LeBron James for no reason. If you hate him for any of these reasons your an idiot:

    - Leaving Cleveland
    - The Decision
    - The Pep Rally (7 championship guarantee)

    Those three reasons are why most people hate him. People leave franchises all the time. Everyone wanted to see The Decision. Everyone tuned in to watch it, yet everyone wants to complain about it after. Lets not forget that the revenues generated from The Decision were donated to the Boys And Girls Club; the raised over 2.5 million dollars. And most times when a team gets a new exciting player, they hold pep rallies. Didn't the Lakers do it with Shaq who guaranteed championships. The Heat also did it when Shaq came to Miami. It happens, who cares.

    Took you this long to figure that out about him?

    I actually didn't like Lebron during his high school years when ESPN was showing his games. But when I started watching him in the NBA doing the things he was at 18, I became a fan.

    The hate was there before the decision, but it even sparked more. I didn't agree with the decision either, but it wasn't going to cloud my judgement about him. Hell, even Lebron said he went about it the wrong way.

    The Lebron hate was just out of control, and pretty much stupid. It will still be there, but in a lessor way now.

    I'm happy for him, and he deserves that Championship.

    Speedy he could have raised that 2.5 million in plenty of different ways.

    Was the decision about raising funds or was about his ego?

    If you only hate someone for something that small, then that's sad in my opinion. Athletes do MUCH worst things that never get scrutinized, yet everyone will hold The Decision against LeBron. What about all those players who get DUI's. DUI's are much worst than The Decision. Not paying child support is much worst than The Decision. What about cheaing on your wife. Michael Jordan cheated on his wife, yet nobody really held it against him. A 25 year old kid made a poor judgement decision by televising which team he'd sign with. It was stupid, but I'm not going to hold it against him for the rest of his life.

    And I don't think LeBron has an overblown ego. It's not his fault ESPN and the media have hyped him up as the greatest player since MJ since he was in high school. People with ego's are people like Ochocinco and Metta World Peace. Basically people who change their real names to stupid names just to get attention.

    Sorry didn't mean to point that at you, I'm just talking about the general public. Most casual sports fans absolutely hate LeBron. For the reasons I listed above. There are plenty of "glamorous" athletes who have done much worst things than LeBron, yet they never get recognized for their faults.

    Oh right, I just thought you jumped to that conclusion..

    As soon as you step back and compare the acts LBJ gets hated on for, and the stuff the majority of athletes do you realise there is no justification for the hate.

    list last game as a Cavalier, a game 6... trying to get to a game 7 and back to the East Finals... HE QUIT ON THE TEAM, THE FANS, HIS COACHES, HIS TEAMMATES...HE QUIT ON A FRANCHISE. he quit because he knew once they were eliminated, he would be free to do what he did... all the while leaving it supposedly up in the air whether or not he would resign with Cleveland.

    he knew if they somehow found a way to comeback and win that series in 2010 and then find a way to win the Finals later on, that he would be stuck then and have to stay in Cleveland... so he tanked.

    When you have the best players joining together(with pat riley) and putting on a fiasco proclaiming multiple future title wins, that team will expectedly get criticism.
    Believe it or not, there are nba/sports fans out there who still appreciate the underdogs and despise those who mindlessly jump on the bandwagon of overwhelming opposition.

    So mr. Defers away from big shots is magically going to become an ice cold game winning jumper machine like Jordan? That is a part of jordans game Lebron will never have, so can never be compared to him.

    Stays in CLE and tries to win on his own: Respect.
    Go to NY and try to win in a basketball mecca: Fame.
    Go to MIA and win with help: Hate.

    When you are widely considered the best in the game you shouldn't conspire with 2 other All-Stars to take pay cuts to join a team together. Heck, even if you do like a sellout loser, at least make sure the team can be yours, and doesn't already belong to a perennial All-Star.

    It's that simple.

    He didn't fukkin tank it.....Cavs were not good enough to win it all anyway......And even if he won it all that year, Cleveland fans would have been much happier that he left them with a title and went out as a champion

    I am the rare Lebron fan but Heat hater.....Have hated the Heat franchise since the 90s playoff rivalry between them and the Knicks

    Happy to see Lebron get a title but bitter that the scrub Miami fans get another championship...

    Really sad how many people hate Lebron, and for what? He's a great team player and a decent guy off the court.......As a free agent you can go wherever the Fukk you want, and he chose Miami to try to win a title with his best friend in the league......Can't hate on players for taking less money to win a title when we always kill players for taking the most money possible and not caring about winning

    61 win regular season 0.74 win pct

    26-15 road record hardly looks like a team that isn't good enough to win it all,

    the team kobe had with smush parker, kwame brown, now that's a team that isn't good enough to win it all, barely made it to the playoffs as lal were 7th or 8th seed that year....
