Incredibly touching OP, I'm in tears right now. So touching.

The guy donates millions to charities, and inspires children around the world to be what they want to be. Meanwhile, ISHerse think he's worse than a rapist because he made the towel boy pick up his clothes when he was 19 :coleman:

Did you guys notice the current Stars in league are never in actual trouble? The social media age just makes them way too observed.

I havent seen any indication Lebron isnt a good dude.

Pauk's is twice as long, but LeBron's writing is much better and actually manages to deliver the message.

Kobe stans be like

"LeBron's mom couldn't do it herself, neither can queen James :roll: "

Nice message from LeBron :applause:

He has abused a ball boy that didn't do shit to him and was just doing his job.
He's also a huge flopper.
He also attended the sprite game as a coach of one the teams. The other coach was Kobe, while Kobe was giving advice to his youngings, LeBron sat further from them on the scorer's table and left before the game had even finished.
He's also a major douchebag, so that helps for people to hate him.
I kinda understand him, but to say that it's hard to understand how anyone can hate the guy is blasphemous

[nightprowler10]

I think most people realize that he's mostly a good guy and only hate his media personality. Seriously, if you take everything he says and does into account that actually gets media spotlight, he comes off as an egotistical a$$. Its obviously not the case in every facet of life, but it goes a long way towards hurting your public image and turning people against you if you come off as full of yourself everytime you talk or are seen in public.

Sorry, but being a douchebag is not a valid reason to hate a player. Anyone with half a brain knows that MJ is 10x more of a douchebag than Lebron could ever hope to be, yet most fans love him. I don't know about that Sprite game, but I can guarantee you Lebron's teammates all love playing with him. Meanwhile, Kobe's teammates are taking less money just to get away from him and the bus that he loves to throw them under every time he fails. :confusedshrug:

Bron after choking be like...

"yall can all go back to your shitty day jobs and buy my shoes and sh*t and I'll still be Leflop James" :lol

I don't see a point in trying to diss Kobe, i only mentioned him briefly trying to explain the situation that was happening.
I really doubt that all of LeBron's teammates love playing with him, specially the older veterans when he was in Cleveland, Bird put it best, you want to have fun, you play with LeBron, you want to win, you go... well, you've mentioned him already.

I didn't see MJ exploiting a ball boy who had done nothing to him, I didn't see MJ wear a check my stats t-shirt.
There's different types of douchebags, MJ picked on players and trash-talked to them, while LeBron picks on... what was that? A 15/16 year-old? And I sure as hell haven't seen MJ box out his teammates in his own fight.
I look like a LeBron hater after posts like these, I understand that, there's obviously a part of me that wants him to fail, but there's a huge reason that part exists, and that's Lebron's unexplanable douchebaggery

you can't call him a douchebag for no reason.
also, that ball boy was getting hazed because he was new. it happens to every new ball boy on every team along with all the rookies.
****ing with him like that is actually funny. actually worse shit happens to most new ball boys and rookies like making them get food in the middle of the night for a month.

Again you mention Kobe by bringing up the Bird quote. You obviously are a Kobe fan, just admit it lol. I'm sure Bird would have a much different answer if he were asked this today, considering what Bron has done to his Pacers the last 2 years. :lol MJ never abused a ball boy, he just punched out teammates, cursed at and belittled referees without even getting technical fouls, cheated on his wife, and possibly got his father killed due to gambling debts! Great role model that MJ is. :facepalm

[Rose'sACL]

go and search google for rookie hazing. that is the stuff rookies go through and they are actual players. just think about things players must make ball boys do.
it is a pretty good job considering everything so they do a lot of things for players.

Lol, people pick on ball boys all the time. It's part of the game. Wearing a check my stats T-shirt? He didnt even wear it to a game.

Jordan was more then just a trash talker. Remember his hall of fame speech? His refusal to let Isiah on the Olympic team? His gambling for money and virginity?

How can someone sit here with a straight face and say Lebron is a bigger douchebag then Jordan? :biggums:

[russwest0]

Wait a minute, Jordan a bigger Dbag than LeBron?

Wow... there's stretching.... and then there's what yall niqqas is doin

[navy]

Jordan was one of the biggest douchebags in the game. He would even hit his own teammates.

It's a shame people know nothing about Jordan except for the fact that he has six rings. :facepalm

I really doubt it, ball boys are not somebody that have consistent jobs.

to Joe Anderson

Well, I've mentioned Kobe, because you tried to attack him, and as he's one of my favourite players, I feel that I should defend the player. I don't give a shit about "possibly". Kobe "possibly" raped a girl too, should I judge a player by something that may have happened, but not likely, and nobody besides them know?
And wasn't the Bird quote from 2013 Larry Bird interview with Bill Simmons?
Punching teammates is a good thing sometimes, gets them going, that's just making them better old-school style.

[TheReal Kendall]

Just a bunch of nostalgic fools living in the past and believing whatever the media tells them. Jordan is the most media protected athlete in the history of sports, and it's not even close. As Andrea Kramer once said "You couldn't win any points in the media if you said or wrote anything bad about Michael. No one wanted to hear that stuff." :coleman:

At least you are admitting you have a Kobe bias now, which I can respect even if I don't agree. Also, the Larry Bird quote is from early 2012, before Lebron got his first ring. Just giving you the facts. :cheers:

Shaq in general,
LeBron 12-13
Kobe since 09 till game 7 was untouchable
MJ when he started winning too.

Winning cures character wounds

Kobe admitted raping that girl. What's with the alleged stuff?


First, I want to apologize directly to the young woman involved in this incident. I want to apologize to her for my behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered in the past year. Although this year has been incredibly difficult for me personally, I can only imagine the pain she has had to endure. I also want to apologize to her parents and family members, and to my family and friends and supporters, and to the citizens of Eagle, Colo.
I also want to make it clear that I do not question the motives of this young woman. No money has been paid to this woman. She has agreed that this statement will not be used against me in the civil case. Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.
I issue this statement today fully aware that while one part of this case ends today, another remains. I understand that the civil case against me will go forward. That part of this case will be decided by and between the parties directly involved in the incident and will no longer be a financial or emotional drain on the citizens of the state of Colorado

The bolded part just says that kobe thinks it was consensual, and AFTER hearing her testimony he feels that SHE thinks it was not.

Explained : At the time in eagle he thought it was consensual, and the first time he heard that she did not want it was in thet testimony.
Which basically means she's a bitch for seducing/****ing a married man, and he's a ****tard, because he ****ed a bitch while being married. Unless Vanessa was cheating on him, or something like that, it's obviously still not the greatest feat of his career as human being

If I have sex with a girl thinking its consensual when its not only to find out later that I was wrong, then I raped her.

It really makes no difference who the girl was or how famous I am.

I'll explain to you for the third time in the most understandable way I can -
They ****ed, girl later tried to get some money, Kobe can't say that out loud, so he says that in the most legal way possible.

Why cant Kobe say that out loud? Do you hear yourself? You think he wants to pay a women who he just had sex with?

[IncarceratedBob]

The girl wanted the Kobe beef, nothing she ever says is gonna change my mind on that? I mean if you had the chance to get it, who wouldnt want it

[SexSymbol]

Why cant Kobe say that out loud? Do you hear yourself? You think he wants to pay a women who he just had sex with?
Because if he accused her of doing it for money during the trial, she could then try throw another case at him for false allegations. It's just not smart in terms of why the **** would he do that, ending that trial as soon as possible was the only thing he had in mind as his image was going down in the fastest pace ever. I don't think anybody has ever been under more scrutiny than Kobe in that timespan, to comeback from it and cement yourself as a top 10 player for years to come is trully remarkable

[AlphaWolf24]

People joke and make fun of Lebron....( I do all in fun)

- IMO he is a really good dude....and being a only child in single mother household is rough.

- I got nothing but respect for LBJ and his Mother.....Lebron you win in the game of life ...the only game that matters.

thanks for setting a great example.

[J Shuttlesworth]

So far nobody ITT has named one thing LeBron has done wrong besides trolling a towel boy when he was younger.... That doesn't amount to the amount of cheating Kobe/Jordan did on their wives, and not to mention MJ's gambling debts, or Kobe throwing Shaq under the bus.

Let me guess... LeBron messing w/ towel boy is worse than Kidd beating his wife?

[J Shuttlesworth]

He has abused a ball boy that didn't do shit to him and was just doing his job.

He may not have raped, and it may have been consensual... It's STILL cheating on his wife... not to mention all the other times he's cheated and had to buy her off to stay married... What did LeBron do that's worse than this? Surely if you hate LeBron for messing with a towel boy, you have to hate Kobe for ruining the sanctity of his marriage and fatherhood.

Well, what kind of a role model for kids doesn't even speak to them in a game where he was supposed to coach and a game that was dedicated to showcase their skills?

Besides, which NBA player doesn't do charity work? I mean Kobe has a Kobe and Vanessa charity foundation to fight against homelesness, MJ has definitely donated some of his money. NBA cares obviously involves a lot of players to do some beneficial stuff for the environment ant the people. That stuff doesn't get talked about very often, but I'm sure most of the players do it

In todays social media age there is no way an athlete like Lebron could cheat on his woman without there being a single word about it in the news. We just have to face facts, Lebron is a better all around person than Kobe.

I will have to disagree with you here. Lebron was more hated in 2011 than Kobe was for rape allegations in 2003, which says a lot about the morals of our society. :facepalm I have never in my life seen such vitriol against an athlete who did nothing more than host an ill advised TV special and let the world know that he wanted 8 rings. :biggums:
It was a rally for HEAT FANS for crying out loud! What was Lebron supposed to say? "If we work really really hard, we might be able to bring 1 more ring to Miami." :rolleyes:

people can dislike someone for whatever reason they want

personally, i dont hate lebron, but i see why people do. he is something of a front runner. hes played well in the two championship rings, but he still has moments where he gets very tentative. he has even admitted that he gets scared in the big moments.

but then when things go easy, he tries to show off. flexing his muscles, screaming after a big play, but when things get tough, hes suddenly not so vocal.

thats my problem with him.

but who gives a shit, hes paid to play basketball, not win prom king.

you dont get it

lebron has his rings. nobody can take that away from him, but hes softer, mentally, than kobe, duncan, dirk, the other all time greats he has been playing with.

that mental fragility alone doesnt necessarily make me dislike him, its that he stunting hard when things are going well.

I don't think LBJ is mentally frail or soft he just overthinks too much, you can clearly tell on the court he's trying to think out every possible scenario before it even happens instead of just playing on instincts. That sometimes is his downfall

That only happened once in 2011 though.

The other times he lost he played pretty well when it counted.

[Derka]

I am extremely lucky in that I am one of the few of the kids I grew up with to come from a stable, two-parent home. We were poor for a while, but still...we were all in it together. That said, I ran with plenty of guys who were in situations like his where the single mother or father made the tough choice to let the child live elsewhere while she figured out what to do...that's the part that really stands out to me here. Its everything that parent can do to not sink to the level of "I can't care for my child...I am a failure", but as is pointed out in the article, it usually is what works best for the child. Certainly worked out well in Lebron's case.

If I was a woman I would gladly let Lebron put his seed in me to have beautiful children together. I would have given his sons the family he didn't have. I envy his wife and I am sad that I was born a male

That only happened once in 2011 though.

The other times he lost he played pretty well when it counted.
Yea that's true but I also saw some of it in last year's finals when he struggled early in the series(and the first 3 quarters of game 6). The Spurs playing off of him totally mind ****ed him and he was too indecisive at times. He needs to stop thinking so much sometimes and just go.

I know a lot of people here that feel like that too...

Makes you think of the people who didn't make it out of that life.

He struggled in that series, but it wasnt because of the pressure. The Spurs were just packing the paint and his jumpshot wasnt there. I would say when the stakes got higher and the pressure rose (fourth quarter and overtime of game 6 and game 7) he showed up. The only time the pressure got to him was 2011. I can honestly say he was nowhere to be seen. :facepalm

He has abused a ball boy that didn't do shit to him and was just doing his job.
He's also a huge flopper.
He also attended the sprite game as a coach of one the teams. The other coach was Kobe, while Kobe was giving advice to his youngings, LeBron sat further from them on the scorer's table and left before the game had even finished.
He's also a major douchebag, so that helps for people to hate him.
I kinda understand him, but to say that it's hard to understand how anyone can hate the guy is blasphemous

You are one sheltered fool if you think what he "did" to the ball boy is anywhere near abuse. :facepalm
