     I try so hard to like this guy. I appreciate what hes done for the sport by really elevating the game to levels its never reached before even with Jordan as far as global exposure and revunue success goes. Three time champ all this stuff yadayada. But man hes such a wimp sometimes it makes me sick. 

    Tonight he got elbowed by Lee. It looked like it hurt a bit he did get elbowed but the way he dealt with it was such a dissapointing act of cowardice. After being elbowed he looked around to see if the refs would blow the whistle and they didnt. So he started grabbing his back grimmacing and collapsed in the middle of the court with that terribly fake "Im injured" face he has made his whole career. They were getting blown out and he stopped competing. 

    What I think is wrong with the NBA is how much money these guys make and the lifestyle they live. I mean really… guys Ive got nothing against rich people but lets be real this guy Lebron James is a billion dollar man we are watching play. You get pretty sheltered when youve got that kind of value. These guys arent smoking cigars before games and drinking rye and cokes they are facetiming thier fashion consultants and setting reservations for the best beauty salons while on the road. 

    He will never ever compare to Jordan because of this kind of BS.

     He is soft. As much as people won’t want to admit it, he is. The reason he still performs at a high level is because he is probably the most talented player to ever play the game, his physical gifts are second-to-none and he does have a good basketball IQ. But he is soft, that’s why he will never be as good as Jordan even though he should surpass him. When he isn’t winning as much as they are expected to he gets coaches he doesn’t like fired, players traded, and asks for better teammates even though he has the most talented supporting cast in the league by a significant margin. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying he has achieved greatness, but in my opinion he did not reach his potential.

    Michael Jordan would be the most hated player in the league if he played in this social media era.  

    We hate Lebron for these types of things however MJ went to the Bulls GM and said he needed help to win and didn’t care when Krause told him they have salary cap issues.  So then he tried to get Bill Cartwright traded.

    Jordan literally belittled teammates he didn’t like and basically ruined Kwame Brown’s career before it got started and he was GM of the team!

    Punched teammates, told Paxson not to pass to Perdue because he thought he wasn’t good enough to touch the ball, hell just google them and see countless other examples but my probalem is that when MJ does it, it is "lighting a fire under his team."  When Lebron does anything remotely similar (in a much less jack-assy way) he is a whiner.  Such a contradiction.

      Yayaya Jordan is a comple asshole I know. And like I said before Lebron is a model citizen great person amazing consistency. Could care less if he wants a player off his team he has that right. Its the crybaby sense of entitlement. The softness, the flopping. When did flopping become acceptable in the NBA? When was it legitimately accepted. It was during Lebrons prime. A few years ago they tried to give out fines but the players called thier bluffs and that ruling mysteriously vanished. 

      The only problem I have is this guy crawling on his hands and knees to the middle of the court then laying down on his back for 5 minutes postponing the game. Everyone in that arena knew he wasnt injured. The elbow hurt but come on. Just go to the lockerroom if your injured or if you want to take the rest of the game off dont make this big dramatic effect. His teammates all stood around him like "wtf bron lets go, lets finish this game" but nobody would say anything because Lebron James IS the basketball world. He is a 1 billion dollar man and all of these guys know where thier bread is buttered so they try to leave a good impression on this dude. I mean if you were a rapper and you worked at Jay Z’s personal studio your gonna agree with every god damn thing he says and do whatever he tells you to right? 

      If Jordan took that elbow he wouldve turned around and punched David Lee right in his face.

        First of all, LeBron gets hit on his drives all the time and rarely flops when that happens. Not saying he doesn’t flop, but he sure ain’t the face of flopping in the NBA, you watch James Harden acting his way towards fouls so much more often.

        Second, LeBron not punching David Lee in the mouth is, without a doubt, a good thing for everyone.

          Probably the easiest way to tell in comment sections who knows basketball and who’s just a hater that only repeats popular opinions they see online is seeing who says things like “Lebron flops all the time,” “LeFlop James,” etc etc

          Don’t get me wrong, he definitely does. But it’s not near as bad as it used to be (Tyson Chandler pick), and I understand why he does it sometimes now. He kind of has to to sell contact because it seems like he doesn’t get calls most stars do just because he’s so big and strong

        People didn’t flop/fake injuries before LeBron? My good sir, did you happen to be fully lucid during the 2008 NBA finals? Are you aware of who Paul Pierce is?

     LeBron is soft. Tristan Thompson turned his arm and caught Bron with his elbow(the arm was limp) and LeBron literally flew himself back 15′ in the ECF last year because he thought it was a raptor who did it and was trying to get the flop. So while he doesn’t flop like say a James Harden, don’t be cooking yourself into believing Bron doesn’t do the flop himself. Kobe was once asked about flopping and he responded. Ybsaying he’d never do it, because it was soft.

     Lebron is a beast. The guy is almost indestructable. Its funny how Lee’s elbow kind of deflected off of him when most people would have likely been knocked backwards. Yet he still gets on his hands and knees and it just sets such a terrible example. I remember when the league wwas physical and he was forced to fight through this like his playoff series with Washington and Boston when guys would literally attack him. Now he is so sheltered and protected the NBA lets him dictate his own rules I feel. Id love to see someone call him out on this to his face like when Skip Bayless called Chris Bosh Chris "Posch" (spice) to his face on live television. I would love to hear how he adresses this.
