Let me start this off by saying that I am in no way a "Lebron Hater", dude is really good. I mean really, really good. He can do just about anything on the basketball court. He has been the best player in his age group all his life.BUT...
People are ready to give him the world. Just because he has unparalleled physical abilities does not make him a "winner" and definitely not a Champion. How many great players never won 'chips? Elgin Baylor made it to the Finals 8 times without ever winning. Karl Malone never won, nor did George Gervin, Patrick Ewing, Pete Maravich, Charles Barkley, Alex English, Dominique Wilkins and many more of the sports all time greats never won. Just because he is as talented as he is many people say he will have more than Jordan by the time he retires. I'm not gonna say he won't, but stop giving him everything, let him earn something.
Look at these crazy examples:
Oh Come on!
Are They Serious?
A new era? WTFLet the guy earn the accolades and the awards and yes even the nicknames. Just what exactly is this guy the King of? He hasn't won anything, hes by no means the businessman that he wants you to believe he is, Nike just has a good marketing plan around the guy. Phil Knight is the businessman not Lebron.
What this really boils down to is he acted like a BITCH when he didn't get what he thought was his. Why did he think it was his before he earned it? Because media and fans have anointed him some kind of god. It's ridiculous! He's just a man (yes he's huge and freakishly fast and has springs in his legs, but still just a man). He wouldn't shake the hands of the Orlando Magic after he was beat, even his Olympic teammate Dwight Howard got the cold shoulder. In the words of Diddy "NO MORE BITCHASSNESS!!!"
...Oh yeah and Kobe is better. Not by virtue of his natural abilities; but by the strength, toughness, drive, and unstoppable will to improve his game.
