That has to be taken out of context. If not, wow.

From same tweeter:

Context being lost, so tweeting the rest of that LeBron quote about MVP....

.... "We had too many up & down stretches throughout the season, and if my team's not winning, then I shouldn't be the MVP."

[SavageMode]

Lebron should have 5 MVPs. Derrick Rose pity season.

Not as bad as Kobe's trade demand to the Bulls when he didn't have Shaq to carry him in the west.

How insecure do you have to be to bring up Kobe in a thread that's strictly about a Lebron James quote

[VengefulAngel]

Taken out of context, here's the rest

"We had too many up & down stretches throughout the season, and if my team's not winning, then I shouldn't be the MVP."

LeBron starts press conference by congratulating Kevin Durant. "Hell of a season, KD."

and this ^^

[Derka]

Dude took a quote out of context to draw in hits and re-tweets and then posted the full thing with context after the fact.

This is what passes as "the media" these days

Heat media just as scum as the team they cover :facepalm

[bukowski81]

That second quote is basically saying the same except a little bit nicer.

He isnt saying he should not win MVP because Durant played better than him, he is saying he should not be MVP becasue his team had a lot of ups and downs

[selrahc]

lebron is such a bitch. basically he thinks that he is the greatest but his team is too shit to win a lot of games.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Kobe = GOAT front office motivator :applause:
He demanded a trade. Flat out quit on his team

which is absolutely true.
or do you think durant was actually better??:roll: :roll:

"We had too many up & down stretches throughout the season, and if my team's not winning, then I shouldn't be the MVP."

i dont see how this second part does anything good to his first statement. passive/agressive butthurt beta imo.

[bukowski81]

only an obsessed kid would think lebron had a better regular season

Why would you throw your teammates under the bus when you're the second seed and going strong through the play-offs

[russwest0]

he wants more attention

[Solefade]

the media is so retarded sometimes

[Solefade]

pretty sure kobe has thrown andrew bynum under the bus, as well as smush and then pau when they lost in the finals in 2008 :oldlol:

[Asukal]

:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

It's always anybody else's fault but Lebron...

That beta mentality... :rolleyes:

[Cali Syndicate]

Huh...

[Legends66NBA7]

This. I hate the media sometimes :facepalm

Same here.

Pretty sure James and the rest of the Heat should just focus on winning another title.

[no pun intended]

Taken out of context, here's the rest

"We had too many up & down stretches throughout the season, and if my team's not winning, then I shouldn't be the MVP."

^^
Even so, this doesn't sound too good either. Should've said "If I'm not leading my team to win, then I shouldn't be the MVP."

[TheMagicMan]

Even so, this doesn't sound too good either. Should've said "If I'm not leading my team to win, then I shouldn't be the MVP."

Nah, I think he means it's his fault his team wasn't winning, so therefore he doesn't deserve MVP.

[FPJ]

the media is so retarded sometimes

Well, if you take a look in this thread, they certainly have a fair amount of brain dead viewers that believe anything that fits their agenda.

[chosen_one6]

"If MY team is not winning, then I should not be MVP"

He's taking ownership of the fact that he didn't lead his team to as many wins as they should have had, and therefore believes he shouldn't have won.

I swear y'all n*ggas reach for everything.

[Asukal]

He also said:

LeBron on MVP: 'I played well enough to win it,' but team didn't

:rolleyes:

[Nash]

lol journalist clearly wrote that tweet like that on purpose. expect him to get banned now

[edrick]

Context is important, dumb ****s will run with this though.

[Trollsmasher]

even Ethan is doing this media shit?

**** him

[buddha]

LeBron taking shots at Derrick Rose lol

[SpanishACB]

whatever the context Lebron is still saying that he played well enough to win MVP

If you acknowledge that you've played good enough for MVP but your team hasn't then you're saying that it's your team's fault

since there's nothing more a player can do to carry his team if he's already playing at MVP level

[ILLsmak]

"If MY team is not winning, then I should not be MVP"

He's taking ownership of the fact that he didn't lead his team to as many wins as they should have had, and therefore believes he shouldn't have won.

I swear y'all n*ggas reach for everything.

Maybe. But it's hard to say. It's definitely open ended. He could have said it differently if that's what he meant.

Bron says a lot of shit that could be interpreted differently. I personally believe the way people arrange words is determined by their true thought. Sentence structure, word choice, etc.

Everything Bron has said about the MVP seemed salty to me. I dunno what happened with Rose, so I can't comment on if he had an opinion on that, but something about KD... maybe he's more threatening because he's the same position and on a better team.

LeBron has the balls to call out his old/inconsistent, weak supporting cast, instead of singling out betas like Perkins as inspirational teammates :roll:

Alpha as fvck

This...And a quote thats taken out of context on top of that...Only stans of Durant or Kobe would actually think he said that and not check the context because they WISH he would've said that so they could clown him...Kinda sad....:applause:

[Dro]

lebron is such a bitch. basically he thinks that he is the greatest but his team is too shit to win a lot of games.
He did not say that AT ALL...Do you guys EVER get tired of trolling?

lll take it a step further...Just because he uses I does not necessarily mean he's saying its HISfault....Everybody knows that every year, we argue that the MVP should be on a winning team and that the team should be performing near the top of their game. He's saying HIS TEAM DID NOT PLAY WELL ENOUGH, WHETHER ITS HIS FAULT OR HIS TEAMMATES FAULT OR EVERYBODY'S FAULT...HE DIDN'T SINGLE ANYONE OUT.

If he would have used "The Miami Heat" in place of "MY", then he would have sounded like a d*ck referring to himself or his team in 3rd person....

These guys are such stans or haters that they will twist ANYTHING...I swear this is nothing but reading comprehension 101....I'm not even a Lebron fan but god damn, these guys make me sick...And half of these posters are supposed to be grown men?:facepalm

[Blue&Orange]

douchebag comment n

[Dro]

I actually thinks its absolutely hilarious and absolutely sad at the same time that a bunch of grown men can sit around and hate a basketball player so much...Like, don't you guys have real lives with real worries?:confusedshrug: :lol

[tmacattack33]

He puts winning above everything else. If his team isn't winning, then he feels like he isn't doing enough to win the mvp.

With the second quote that the guy on twitter posted, it is obvious that is what he meant.

If you asked him if he's the playoff MVP, and if he were to be honest, his answer would likely be "Yes, I'm playing at a high level and have lead my team to win all 5 of our playoff games so far"

[pegasus]

He didn't play at MVP level. He coasted all season on defense, very rarely took over games when his team needed him to. Yeah, he made sure he got nice stats, but there were so many close games in 4th quarters where he disappeared. Bosh, despite not having great numbers, was their MVP in the clutch. And Wade, whenever he played, played better and had more impact than Lebron.

[pauk]

Yes, he did play well enough to win it and YES his team didnt play well enough to win it.... it overall wasnt enough because of the team record compared to the other MVP candidate, thats exactly what he means....

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said.... Why are you editing/taking out of context what he actually said? Are you Lebron butthurtians really that desperate? The actual quote is: "I think I played well enough to win it, but I don't think our team played well enough to win it."
and not: "**** everybody, my team sux, their fault i didnt win MVP, i need more hlp pls" which you want it to be.... :facepalm

[Draz]

LeBron should of won mvp.

Seriously? are you defending a guy who blames his individual achievement loss on his teammates? Jesus christ pauk this is as bad as when you blamed D Wade for the 2011 finals :facepalm

Defending? Oh really now mr trollie? Is that what you call somebody correcting what he ACTUALLY said....? Get the **** outta here with that bs.... all i am talking to here is haters & trolls... What the hell do you want from me? OP goes: "Its my teams fault i didnt win MVP" (incorrect quote) and even YOU go: "I blame my teammates for not winning MVP" (thats very obviously not how he meant it).... Its like you are trying soooooooooo hard to make/act like Lebron is major douchebag or something taking every little thing he says out of massive context.....

The most famous example:

Lebron: "If we play up to our standards i believe we could win multiple championships and how me, Wade & Bosh contemplate eachother will be easy after challenging in practice once the game starts its going to be easy"
Haters: "I guarantee/promise we will win multiple championships, its going to be very easy"

I am not defending.... i am not pathetic...... YOU ARE....

[-Lebron23-]

LMAO some stans here need to accept Lebron can make mistakes too. I am sure even himself doesn't feel so well about how that response came out.

To me he had a great season again but wasn't better individually than Durant, who was on fire for months and had a historical scoring stretch. It's no shame to acknowledge that, noting that it takes a historical season to bet Lebron for the MVP trophy...

He is still the best player in the league and the most likely to win that FMVP a month from now so it's all good :D

1st. Stop trying to misconstrue the quote, we know what it meant, and it is exactly what it sounds like

2nd. He promised multiple championships when he went "Not one,not two..." so wtf are you even talking about?

3rd. I never called you pathetic, but to be honest spending your whole time on the internet defending a man that doesn't even know you exist is pretty close to it.

This is false. Notice how the person who posted the quote said that it wasnt meant like that. Why would you take it as something different then the person he was actually talking to and had the full conversation/context?
