List of Your Favorite LeBron James Quotes...

[QUOTE=DuMa]duncan, magic and hakeem were all cocky too. they just chose to display their arrogance in different ways.

[B]shaq is one the most arrogant players ever.... the man's ego outweighed his whole body weight[/B].[/QUOTE]

Understatement of the decade! But I get what you are saying.

If you are great at something, and everyone tells you you are so great, it is only human nature to feel like you are great. If you wanna be great in the NBA, you must have this confidence in yourself that is considered arrogant.

Einstein was arrogant
Clinton was arrogant
General Washington was arrogant
Picaso was arrogant
Bird/MJ/Magic etc were arrogant

[QUOTE=elementally morale]It's not the arrogance about LeBron.[B] It's his sheer stupidity[/B]. It is one thing to call yourself the Diesel or the Big Aristotle or even say "they can't guard me", than it is to say some of the things qouted in this thread from LeBron James.

And once again: All these players had a lot more to be cocky about (and I think they all were less cocky).[/QUOTE]


I think it is okay to bash his stupidy comments. Because quite frankly, he says some pretty stupid things.

But on the court Lebron does things that no one has ever done, or hasn't done in the NBA for a really long time.

stupid things in your opinion maybe but that opinion will definitely change if he wins championships. he backs up his arrogance on the court everytime. he is missing the ultimate accolade of course, but now he has a better chance to shut up the critics. other non elite (top 5) players talk in arrogance too but none have the talent level of lebron or as the other few elite players to truely back it up

and it is true. no one in the NBA can guard LeBron.

Sure, I've never said otherwise. He is a great player. This thread is about the quotes though.

No, it will not change my opinion. Jordan having been as great as he was didn't have anything to do with me changing to think he is a moron. And I saw his whole career. No, Magic and Hakeem or even Shaq weren't even close to as arrogant and full of themselves as Jordan was. Well, Shaq may have been if you take everything he said literally, but you know he was joking most of the time.

Not that I really mind. As for me, LeBron can say whatever the hell he wants. And he cares even less about me thinking that. :oldlol:

LeBron's a fool with it. His quotes are the greatest because he knows what he's saying and how he's saying it. He probably figures he's so good that it doesn't matter what he says or does. I grew up with people like that...they used to piss me off to no end. That's going to be his legacy and it's going to be funny to look back on it in 20 years.

[quote]March 28, 2007

Before the Cavaliers vs Knicks game, LeBron James, whose snickers cost around $120-$150 a pair, was asked about the idea of affordable $15 sneakers, endorsed by Stephan Marbury.

[COLOR="blue"][b]LeBron:[/b] "Growing up in the inner city, at times families can't afford $120 shoes. It's definitely smart on their part.'' [/COLOR]

Asked if the Nike $90 million man could see himself wearing these snickers:

[COLOR="Blue"][b]LeBron:[/b] "No, I don't think so. Me being with Nike, we hold our standards high." [/COLOR]

Marbury, who is friendly with James, was lacing up his sneakers before the game when informed of LeBron's comment.

[COLOR="Red"][b]Marbury:[/b] "I'd rather own than be owned." [/COLOR]

The Knicks then beat the Cavaliers that night, 97 - 93.[/quote]

Whoa!

P.S. added to the original thread part 2

He's always in a win win situation. :lol

LEBRON JAMES:
"[b]In the life I live today, the way I am blessed, the way the man above has given me these God given abilities, there's no way I'm in a lose lose situation[/b]. Every day I wake up, see my family, my two sons running around just loving life, there's no way I'm in a lose lose situation. I'm going out here playing a game of basketball, the game I love, the game I played as a kid for free, and [b]we still play for free.[/b]
So there's no lose lose situation for me here. I'm playing a game of basketball. And it just so happens we've got cameras and people writing about it. [b]So until you understand who LeBron James is, LeBron James is in a win win situation and will continue to be in a win win situation.[/b]"

Would there be a link to that? If so, I'd post it on the original thread.

Its strange though, whenever I hear him in interviews he seems humble and cool but whenever I read what other journalists write then he always sounds cocky. Could it be that the journalists like to report things out of context?

I mean sure I guess. I mean what are the chances that ESPN, CBS Sports, FOX Sports, CNN, NBA Fanhouse, Sports Illustrated, or even GQ Magazine would all botch his words up?

I mean, some of the quotes even have videos. It's not like the TV crew botched their editing, or would they...?

Jordanesque is a d*ckless Wonder.
