once a douchebag always a douchebag.
"I have not had a full max deal yet in my career -- that's a story untold," James said.
"I don't get (the credit) for it.
This ring chaser takes less money to team up with Wade and Bosh, and then wants credit for not being a max deal player.
Amazing.

Way to leave out the part where he says it doesn't matter at all to him. Context baby context.
"That doesn't matter to me; playing the game is what matters to me. Financially, I'll sacrifice for the team. It shows for some of the top guys, it isn't all about money. That's the genuine side of this, it's about winning. I understand that."

Easy for him to say it ain't about the money since he doesn't even need his contract money. He will make plenty off endorsements. But I'm sure you believe with him that he would play for broke, as long as he wins championships. Sheep on bruh

Where did I say that? The only thing I'm saying here is that the OP is misrepresenting what LeBron said. He's painting him as someone saying I DESERVE MORE CREDIT WAHHHHH when that clearly isn't true. LeBron has his own agenda too with the its all about winning BS but the OP is just reaching here.

He came into the league with a 90 million dollar Nike contract. I'm sure by now, he's re upped with Nike, and is making considerably more. Not to mention he's got so many endorsement/products out there.

Thanks for the context. I'm not a LeBron fan by any means, but the quotes by the OP were obviously triggered by a question. Does anybody know the actual question asked?
Mr. Jabbar
02-01-2013, 05:38 PM
We all know he "doesnt care" about money (like few mills less will hurt him :facepalm), hes just well aware of his innability to carry a team and is willing to give up those extra pennies for teammates that can carry him down the stretch.
Only fools would praise lebron for something this cheap. At least hes well aware hes a loser and took appropiate action.
Kurosawa0
02-01-2013, 05:39 PM
He was asked about the future financial situation of keeping the three together. LeBron just said that he's taken less in the past and might in the future.
I think some of you just look for things to be outraged by. Must be Fox News viewers.

The guy is the most passive aggressive athlete I've ever "witnessed"
He's clearly very self conscious of his image and how people perceive him. LeBron is essentially a robot that is conforming to society on a sub-conscious level. Pretty creepy.
Sad people with low social skills/comprehension levels(95% of ISH) fall for such an obvious act of pathological behavior.

I'm a fan of Lebron's game but he says some really stupid thing. He needs to shut his mouth and get off twitter. Acting charitable because you take 70 million instead of 80 is an insulting. We all know he makes up that money in endorsements and even if he didn't he sounds like an asshole.
A story would be if he gave most of his money away like Bill Gates is doing. If he's not doing that I don't give a sh*t.

Ah... the good ol fashioned desperate "Take Lebrons words out of context and misinterpret it" Lebron hater trait....
Lebron does what again and where does it say he wants credit for being able to settle for less than a max deal? He just said he doesnt get credit for that, doesnt mean he wants it and whines about it or something..... There is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said, especially in the context of what he was questioned about and what the article was talking about (http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/story/_/id/8905486/lebron-james-think-paid-value-current-cba).

People are such idiots on this forum. They lack common sense. They're like the people who can't tell when someones being sarcastic in person :facepalm
Incredible their social retardation rubs off on their internet personality.
People like this are inferior and it's a fact. They're lesser. The ability to point out social cues and to read other people based on body language/tone/facial expressions and just common sense in general is the biggest aspect of life in today's society and the people with common sense and social awareness/dominance have exponentially more potential than those without.
lol, the discussion they were having eith Lebron was about the new threat of big 3's and they asked him about the financial situation. And according to some people over here, just because he gets trillions of dollars from his sponsors means that he might as well take the min vet and go from there. That is what Lebron is worth. Do you know how much money and publicity Lebron makes the NBA? You think he should just not ask for the money he deserves because he already has a lot of it?
Jesus, I thought people like OP were rare these days since there has been no controversies what so ever. There is no need to be a moron and start talking BS about other people.

Why doesn't he just sign for $1 mill (or vet minimum)? Didn't MJ do that? He doesn't need his contract money, he won't EVER need it, this way the Heat could sign more players. I dunno, if I was a hundred millionaire, I might consider it :oldlol:

Yes, he should work for free. NBA makes all this money from him but he shouldn't ask for anything.
And MJ was the owner of the Wizards, completely different thing.

You guys are aware that there is no state income tax in Florida, right? That makes taking less money a little easier. It's true that he should get credit for not demanding the "top of the food chain" money that he deserves but there are other factors in play.

He makes enough money from endorsements. THE NBA made him, he would be nothing if there was no NBA. Maybe he should give back :confusedshrug: but I get what you're saying, it would be a slap in your face that Lebron isn't making more than everyone else

LMAO what he actually said is ever worse and more conceded!!! He is basically saying he is worth is so high that it can't even be measured properly. I actually agree with him, but I think the players are worth a lot more than they actually make. And it comes off as very pompous to even say something like that.

"What I do on the floor shows my value. At the end of the day, I don't think my value on the floor can really be compensated for, anyways, because of the (collective bargaining agreement)," James said Friday ahead of the Miami Heat's game against the Pacers (7 p.m. ET, ESPN) in Indianapolis.
HEAT INDEX
We've taken our talents to South Beach. Check out the Heat Index.
"If you want the truth. If this was baseball, it'd be up, I mean way up there."
"I think teams understand that you need three guys to do big things; the "big three" thing is pretty cool if you can get it," James said. "To keep teams like this together, you may have to take even less because of the new CBA. I guess we'll find out."

lebron is the a-rod of basketball. a-rod with his ridiculous stats being mvp, best player in baseball. known as a choker, finally wins a world series and is a huge part in it. just so happens, lebron finally wins one last year.
similar personalities, dont have alpha mentalities. like to pat themselves on the back to remind everyone how great they are. a-rod could take as much money as he wanted and didn't win shit playing on his own team, so he came to jeter's team. similarities are eery. attention whoring. only difference is they haven't tested lebron for anything so he isn't a cheater :oldlol:
