LeBron James "Check my Stats" T-shirt getting Heat...

TMZ: LeBron James Ego Tour Rolls On (http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/21/lebron-james-basketball-nba-cleveland-cavaliers/)

LeBron "King" James is good and he has no problem reminding people about it.

A few days after slyly pointing out to people he won the Most Valuable Player award, King James was spotted in St. Tropez yesterday directing people to his bank account for further affirmation of his supremacy.
Article seems over the top, since I think it's crack-up funny!

Do you agree or is the Media making a big deal out of nothing?

well, it does reflect on him as a money grubbing status seeker. He wants to be a celebrity first IMO.

[Jordan-esque]

Looking through the archives, he's getting killed by TMZ!

TMZ - LeBron James MVL (http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/17/lebron-james-most-valuable-loser/)

Overcompensation - noun - excessive reaction to a feeling of inferiority, guilt, or inadequacy leading to an exaggerated attempt to overcome the feeling ... especially when someone expected to win the NBA championship doesn't even make the finals.

LeBron James rocked this egotistical T-shirt during a shopping break in N.Y. yesterday.

[boozehound]

I agree that he does seem to be overly concerned with public perception. Maybe not as far as an inferiority complex, but definitely a little insecurity.

regardless, its all dumb media hoopla (it all is) and hes loving it.

He should get heat for spending his vacation in Saint Tropez. So clich

[adamcz]

His heroes growing up were largely rappers who write 50% of their lyrics about how great they are. I'm surprised we don't hear/see more of this from athletes who grew up immersed in that culture.

[Fatal9]

Wonder how an uneducated, unsophisticated arrogant punk like Lebron even fits in high society?

Saint Tropez is a nice place i`ve visited. :wtf:

If you're a millionaire then yeah it's not so bad.

:roll: @ LeBron getting heat for wearing a shirt saying Check My Stats.

Im not going to go all PB or L23 in this thread, but come the **** on, its LeBron James not James Jones promoting themself.

He has the right to promote himself as a player as much as he wants, he just cant say hes a winner until he wins a ring.

Because he is an amazing basketball player and has a very likeable personality and as far as we know has never snitched on his teammate while being interviewed by police.

Die.

[Fatal9]

Especially with a shirt like that, which any rich person (especially old money) would scoff at. Showing off your "financial stats" or your "basketball stats" is tacky, unrefined/unsophisticated behavior, and actually is almost offensive. How does he even engage in a conversation with anyone above a high school education?! Dull as hell. Relevant today, but will be irrelevant tomorrow.

There's no way this guy is going to start an empire like Jordan, who had all the things (personality-wise) which Lebron lacks.

I thought he was your favorite player ? :confusedshrug:

[oh the horror]

On top of the whole fiasco about him not shaking hands with Orlando players, or talking to the press.


Anyone willing to bet on how long before he refers to himself in third person?

[Fatal9]

I thought he was your favorite player ? :confusedshrug:
When did I ever say that?! I enjoy watching him play, that's about it. He's not very likable or charismatic. But I still evaluate him with an unbiased eye. Is it so hard to believe that you don't need an agenda to think Lebron is overrated? I never say this stuff about Wade, Kobe, Paul, Duncan etc.

[Mikaiel]

When did I ever say that?!

I don't know, but you did. And when you realized you weren't fooling anyone, you said you were actually a Brandon Roy fan. And then you came out of the closet and admitted Kobe was your favorite player.

[gts]

I like LeBron but these past two shirt incidents don't put him in the best light.Just stop. It's a stupid T-shirt for gods sake who cares what it says what it infers too and who's wearing it.

you fricking soap opera babies are just packing mush for brains

"best light" lol

[Interminator]

It all depends when his hype machine runs out of fuel, LeBron's hype currently is on par with the hype received by Grant Hill, and Allen Iverson for a few years before eventually the hype machine stopped and some of their supporters became their biggest doubters.

[Butters]

As soon as he wins the Chip.

Man this is going to be a fun..ish year lol!

My money is on "Im a winner"unless he already did that....

When Lebron James had the Tshirt saying: "Ask me about my big *****!", I thought that was a little much.

I'll get to meet Lebron next month when he comes to my school campus. LBJ Most Valuable Loser! Wonder what he would be wearing then.

Is it supposed to be news to anybody that Lebron's attention seeking and a stat whore?

Besides what has come out of his mouth or what you can see, the guy has "The Chosen One" on his back.

And the shirt defines why most of the world dislikes the American sports culture.

[Laker4Lyfe]

It's only a t-shirt people should GET OVER IT!!!

When I was a teenager I had a t-shirt with 2 oranges on the front and it said "please squeeze these" :roll::roll:

My mother HATED it and took it from me. I didn't understand why, like i was gonna just let guys walk up and squeeze the fruit!!!

It's a shirt, it's cute leave LeBron alone. :banghead::banghead:

Don't forget the "witness" tattoo and the regal lion on his chest to symbolize his status as "King James". Guy is pathetic to the point he is tattooing marketing campaigns on himself.

What a joke.

He doesn't have much formal education but I don't think he is stupid. He is not a rocket scientist but my guess would be he has above average to/good intelligence.

I do agree that his arrogance is annoying and I don't know why he is like this. He is all about marketing and arrogance can at some point hurt your image. Did anyone ever see MJ, the real GOAT, hype himself this way? Most great athletes tend to be humble--at least in public. You will never hear Tiger Woods call himself the GOAT, Michael Schumacher say he is better than Senna, Federer wear a "We are witnesses" shirt, etc.

Once LeBron wins 6 titles, he can be arrogant, got to earn it.

[Fatal9]

They also always keep any hint of arrogance or conceit on the playing field too (Larry and Mike for example). And plus, they have actually DONE something. Lebron? This dude is either insecure or just doesn't know how to carry himself at this point. Someone mentioned Shaq, the annoying thing with Lebron is that he has this fake image of a "humble young man", when he is anything but.

There is "good arrogance" which athletes like Bird, Jordan and Ali had. Lebron's is cheap and undeserved at this point.

[tastystaci]

One LeBron wins 6 titles, he can be arrogant, got to earn it.

I prefer "humble" over "cocky", no matter how many rings you have. My two favorite players of all time are Joe Dumars and Steve Nash. And believe me, MJ didn't just turn cocky after winning his 6 titles :lol

Look, I like LeBron but I've never seen a player of his calibre wear stuff like this. Jordan, Magic, Bird, Isiah, Hakeem, Duncan et al. Obviously he can wear whatever the hell he wants but it can also be commented on. There's just no need for it. Everyone knows he was MVP. Everyone knows his stats are phenomenal. It just smacks of extreme narcissim mixed with insecurity. He's still a young guy, despite his seeming maturity beyond his years so one can only hope that he'll get a handle on it because it just comes off jerky. And again, i LIKE LeBron. I defend his play, I think he's the best in the NBA and all the rest of it. But people have to take off the "celebrity worship" glasses and call things as they are.

Oh, and **** Fatal. If Kobe was wearing it he'd be talking about how great of a fashion statement it is.
