Derek Fisher, Deron Williams and Brandon Roy would like to have a word with you.

Also Grant Hill

[QUOTE=game3524]Also Grant Hill[/QUOTE]

and many many others.

[QUOTE=Indian guy]Coach K also went out his way to proclaim LeBron the leader of Team USA in Beijing and couldn't stop gushing about him the entire tournament.[/QUOTE]

Only thing I remember about LeBron and leader being used in the same sentence back then was in another one of his self proclamations... "im the #1 leader" i believe he said. Kobe and Kidd just smirked.

was it Kobe who said, "Well, Lebron talks the most."
Lebron talks, Kobe walks.

[QUOTE=RedBlackAttack]How about this over-looked part of the article...



:eek:

Izzo turned down $30 million... Wow.[/QUOTE]

30 million over how many years? 10? :oldlol:

Given what free agency has recently revealed about LeBron, I don't find this surprising at all.

yeah, that was the breaking point for me trying to support him.

and it's staggering how many people did not read the full article and are using the argument that the first half of the article was 2, 4, 6 years ago. then you actually assert, after all that has gone down in the last 2 weeks, that he has matured?

i'm still stuck on the gen y argument. lebron just provided a damning example to support all the elder generations' perceptions of us as spoiled kids who expect to be handed the world without any hard work.

plus, he has only marginally improved since his third season in the league. i wonder how much time he spends in the gym in the offseason.

[QUOTE=TheLogo]there is[B] no proof [/B]that Coack K loved this guy.

Coack K is a good guy and he won't say anything bad on camera. [B] I think [/B]Coack K really dislikes Lebron.

Let's be honest, Lebron isn't a Duke type of player. He's childish and selfish.[/QUOTE]


are you really questioning the proof that Coach K love the guy...... then coming in with an "i think" statement to say the opposite....

god you are annoying......

i made it 5 pages through the thread untill it became unbearable about kobe vs bron once again......

yes kobe was mentioned in the article... but not for comparison purposes... he was simply on the team could have won with or without bron...... it did not say that kobe was all they needed to send bron packing.....

but somehow the thread because every kobe lover vs the bron lovers AGAIN....

i have lost a tremendous ammount of respect for bron for joining the heat, but i can see through this type of nonsense as being magnified by the most current events...... if you cant see that then you are a striaght up HATER......

interesting articale with a possiblity of being a good thread, but once again ruined by the kobe vs bron argumentm theat seems to never want to die.

haha, he was proclaiming himself a better "leader" than Kobe all the way back in 2006...

[I]
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:

"I'm under a super microscope. I

Most of the Team USA is disgustingly arrogant and ignorant. There is a reason why the team is so hated in the world. The ONLY national basketball team that is hated more and is considered lower class is Spain.

Damn, When it rains it pours ..
