Yeah I don't know how the media can live with itself, putting all that pressure on Lebron and Wade that they played no complicit part in. It's not like Lebron colluded with ESPN on a self-aggrandizing special or claimed he would easily win 8 rings or anything like that.

Lebron was probably the most scrutinized player a sport has ever saw prior to the decision and post that, it like tripled. All the fake and fabricated outrage is hilarious to think about these days though.

Tiger
Vick
Lance Armstrong
Ronaldo

probably Brady too considering how much more popular NFL is to the NBA

Tiger only began to get scrutanized after he fucked up and became a shitty golfer.

Vick killed Dogs. Lance cheated and lied and ruined dudes lives.

Ronaldo is probably the only one close due to how big Footbal is.

LeBron had alot of his shoulders...

most of it was his own fault but still.

As big of a failure the Lakers are this year, they won't get as much shit because Kobe won.

LeBron hadnt won, talked shit, and failed.

Well I dont think LeBron did anything to deserve it, but it was all manufactured by ESPN and people just liked seeing Miami loss/LeBron be unclutch, so pretty much like Ronaldo or Brady

Those other guys were really hated though and their private lives were discussed constantly

anyone from Cleveland (like my barber) legitimately has a right to hate the dude. With everyone else tho the hate was probably a bit extreme.

Yeah I'm not talking about players who fuck up outside of thier respective sports. LBJ has lived his whole career under a microscope. None of those guys get as much flack as LBJ does for simply not winning a championship.

Of course they do. That's the thing though, nobody outside of Cleveland gives a shit about Cleveland. The faux outrage of them getting screwed over is bs.

As if Lebron didn't put it on himself. The idea that he had nothing to do with his image getting crushed is pretty hilarious.

He's the one who went along with the hilariously egotistical Nike marketing, we were are all witnesses to his team chumping in the playoffs year in and year out.

He's the one who decided to go along with an absolutely awful ESPN special that made him out to be a totally manicial jackass. He's the one who went along with the hilarious introduction in Miami. He's the one who said not five, not six, not seven.

Most people who hate Lebron outside of Cleveland natives are either 1)retard basketball elitists 2)salty motherfuckers that wouldn't talk shit if Lebron chose their team instead of Miami 3)Brandy (but he hates the Heat organization anyway) 4)Lakers fans for some strange reason.

Lebron has done some dumbfuck things in regards to his image but what NBA player in this day in age has the perfect image??? 99% of these players you can argue are self entitled douches that live in their own little island and are out of touch with reality

You should probably watch sports outside of America before making that comment.

I don't even think LBJ is the most scrutinized player in basketball over the past decade...

A lot of it unwarranted because of all the subtle racism whenever he was mentioned.

One could argue that Kobe was even more scrutinized than Lebron or Iverson especially around the time Colorado white girl happened

The big thing about Iverson is that he never asked for it.

LBJ wanted it all. He got it.

And deserved it too.
At least Lebron didn't go all crazy. He's more mentally stable i think than a lot of people realize. A lot of that has to do with winning the chip. Imagine if he failed to become a champ the 3rd go around in a lockout season. Lebron would turn into DMC or some other crazy person
