LeBron's a diva. Nice read over at yahoosports. Excerpt with link:
LeBron James is the most powerful player in the NBA — here's how he always gets his way
Here's what Windhorst said when asked if Blatt would be fired:
"I don't feel that there's an issue with the organization [with Blatt]. But I do know this: nobody plays a better passive-aggressive game than LeBron James. LeBron will be a free agent. He's going to not pick up his player option. And there's this perception out there that LeBron got Mike Brown fired when he left the Cavs [in 2010], that's is just absolutely not true. What happened is LeBron went silent. The season ended and LeBron would not return the Cavs' calls, texts, or emails, and they sat around and because LeBron wouldn't say anything they panicked and fired Mike Brown. And this is the way LeBron plays.
(...)
"It's never been in LeBron's M.O. to demand, like, 'Trade this guy, trade that guy, fire this guy, fire that guy.' That's not who he is. But if he plays his passive-aggressive game with his free agency, which is just his way of exerting power, I can't predict what will happen."
When LeBron is in a position of power, he sits quietly and waits for the team to appease him. He's technically not making organizational decisions — and thus shoulders none of the blame — but he is, in a way, coercing his team into making decisions to make him happy.

Passive aggressive people are BETA as hell. The type who plays mind games because they are cowards to speak to you directly in your face. I'm losing count of the number people who don't like LeBron in this league.
King? More like the Queen.
