Yahoo!: LeBron's unbearable attitude with Team USA and Nike's warning...

Not surprising... the guy's ego is as big as lake Erie. I mean after all, he confiscated a tape of him getting dunked on like a little diva, so I could imagine some of the stories we hear might be true

As much as I dislike lebron now I don't believe this. You've seen the footage of him at practice with the 08 team.

[QUOTE=Shax]Does not compute with what other writers were saying about Lebron during the Olympics. I would think this shit would come out much sooner, and at least 1 teammate would say something bad about him.

Even Kobe constantly sticks up for Lebron in interviews, etc.[/QUOTE]
Propaganda. I remember those olympics. ESPN and the announcers kept saying that Lebron had asserted himself as the clearcut leader of Team USA but when I watched those games I saw Kobe, Jason Kidd and especially Dwayne Wade looking like the leaders of that team on the court.

This happened in the gold medal game where Lebron disappeared and Wade and Kobe dominated and stepped up.

And everyone said AI and Marbury were the cancers on the 2004 team.....[/QUOTE]
whoever said iverson was are idiots, that team put together sucked. Didnt richard jefferson or lamar odom start?

To be honest, I dont think no one played close to the level of wade, not even kobe.

[QUOTE=SinJackal]You haven't watched enough if you didn't know he was constantly being criticized for not shooting enough. Chicago media has been whining and moaning for him to take more shots and "be a leader" for the entirety of every season he's been in the NBA.




Doubt it for Durant. That dude's saying and doing everything right. He's going to be the next NBA darling, probably starting this season. So long as he matches what he did last year, or at least stays close, and his team does well. . .Durant's easily going to be the most hyped played in the league, taking Kobe and LeBron's places.[/QUOTE]
agreed. only reason he didn't get more hype last season was his acne. It's hard to market a pizza face, Durant gets that sorted and he is the new face of the league and ESPN will jump on his nuts harder than they did on Lebron's.

I definatly agree with you here.

I didnt even have to click the link to guess who wrote that propaganda, spin trash... Im obviously an LBJ fan, but realize the man is not god and has a multitude of flaws, but anything ADrian WajowsiuhnfSKI writes in relation to LBJ is always biased nonsense. Its actually laughable...

Case in point, and im going to paraphrase his actual quote so I dont have to read through that filth again. But he said essentially that its a joke that LBJ is donating the proceeds from the decision, equating it not to the hundreds of thousands or millions he raised in his ill-conceived Decision idea, but to a couple of foozeball tables. Yes Adam, let me see you go into your pocket you ignorant, bigot and donate some money.

BOO THIS MAN!

[QUOTE=Fatal9]haha, he was proclaiming himself a better "leader" than Kobe all the way back in 2006...

James said "Kobe has the scoring power and will to score anywhere on the court. Since both Kobe and I have the wills to win, it's very fun to play games with him. [B]But I'm inherited to lead and also born with the leadership. That is my greatest advantage compared to Kobe.[/B]" [/I]

From the Olympics in 2008...

[I]"With So many leaders on the team, who has the loudest voice in the huddle?"

King James answered confidently:

"It's pretty much me. Being loud, getting our guys ready. I'd say it's me. But there's a lot guys that speak out and are very active. But I think it starts with me." [/I]

:roll:[/QUOTE]
Link this up homie. As someone very critical of Lebron and his massive entitled ego, even I can't believe he would say things like this.

why, the crappy grammar and word usage is on par with the usual idiot stuff the guy says

[QUOTE=Jasun]when you look when this article is being dropped, which is a period where alot of people are harboring negative feelings for lebron, you dont have to wonder the true intentions and validity of the article. Also it says nike was gonna drop lebron? aside from commiting a major felony or doing something completely out of left field its NOT GONNA HAPPEN. he makes them millions and as long as he is doing so they will keep him even if its so he cant endorse a competing brand. I might believe an assistant coach wanted him gone, like phil wanted kobe gone, but only a fool would make an actual attempt to take him off the team...


:roll: :roll: :roll: nike dropping him because he didnt know a few names of the staff... some people believe anything.[/QUOTE]

why don't you read the article before you comment so you don't look like a moron?

I agree. Wade had somethin' to prove that Summer.
