Wow,

Seen a lot of hate for LeBron since Blatt's firing but where is the blame on the front office and ownership?

When LeBron was drafted by the Cavs, they basically let him do anything his entourage and himself wanted to do. This is basically the wrong foot LeBron started off with that caused him to not understand where the line between players and front office is. Not really his fault if no one ever said no to him and allowed him to really do and requests things that were granted to him.

They had tried to compliment him with aging stars that were approved by him but yet still was not able to get it done. Blame was not on LeBron but to the front office Danny and HC Mike Brown.

Since he has shown interest to come back to Cleveland, what does Gilbert do and think? Cash cow is back and better cater to his ass or else he will not come back. So instead of letting the trio of Wiggins, Irving, Thompson gorw with him, he strong armed them to trade Wiggins and get Love to the team. The minute they complied and let LeBron's management work the deal out with the Wolves, they had already set the foundation for LeBron to call the shots.

Lastly, How does the front office even consider using Tyrone Lue to run a championship caliber team that is under enormous pressure to win a championship in the next year or two? I know Tyrone sees opportunity but this could seriously backfire on his career if he accomplishes nothing for Cleveland. With teams like San Antonio, Golden State, and Oklahoma, you would think they would have a tenured/experience coach to lead them but they chose Tyrone with LeBron's suggestion and push. If they don't win, who fault is it? Not LeBron cause he just already said he is just a player on the team and has no involvement in the front office making decisions.

Front office and ultimately Dan Gilbert should be blasted for not winning a championship and be classified as a worse owner then Dolan. Pat Riley was probably the best thing that happened to LeBron and too bad that didn't last long he is back at square one which is losing in the NBA Finals once again. At least both the owner and LeBron are making millions through this ordeal of backlash from NBA fans and possibly the city of Cleveland if they dont bring the trophy home.

It all comes down to the fact that Dan Gilbert is a cuck

blame his mom for raising him that way, blame his school of coddling him, blame endorsers for giving him cash and a car while he was a kid in high school, blame the media for hyping him up while still a child etc etc

All this does shape the character he's become but at some point people need to mature and acknowledge they can choose to change and grow up and you can't blame your upbringing for the problems you create now.

This, Lebron never had a chance.

He is basically everything that is wrong with the internet addicted millenial generation amplified 1000%.

The result is that Lebron is a clinical narcissist. I don't think people understand the significance of being real narcissist and someone just with a massive ego.

Lebron basically doesn't think he is ever wrong. Never. This means he has very limited ability to grow. It also means, if he needs to be the best he can be, then you must tempt him with challenges, not encouragement or criticism. Riley did this, tempted him to become DPOY. Wade tempted him to see who was the most efficient, Ray Allen challenged him to be a better free throw shooter.

In Cleveland, no one challenges him, and so he freewheels because he legit doesn't think he can do any wrong.

Pretty much everything you said. Except maybe a challenge to the dunk contest
