He's a hotdog who won't blink an eye when it comes to telling everyone how great he is ,but will throw up the doggie fence when criticized. If you don't hear what he says and how he says it and don't see him play most everyday then you will be swallowed by the hype machine that blinds from the truth.
"Entirely self-absorbed" So I guess you know him personally. What are you basing this on? Is this your opinion of him from what you see on the court? Can you provide some examples of off the court behavior that signals that he is a self-absorbed person? And can you give a quote from him where he states he is great. I have watched almost every game of his either in person or on TV. I do not see this. I think he is a good player and one of the top 5 players in the league. I think he has tons to learn about the game and tons to improve on. But remember, the kid is 23 - turned 23 Dec 30th.

Oh fucl< 23...they said the same thing when he was 19,20,21 and 22. I suppose your mimicing mouth wil be in unison with the others when he's 34.

Here's what I base it on ...numbskull. He always watches the scoreboard to see where his triple double stands.Here's just ONE case in point. ...it's not that he looks for the score. He was one rebound shy earlier this year of a triple double. With about 30 seconds to go the other team was at the line for the 2nd shot...they missed. James comes from the other side to grab the rebound almost knocking a stunned Gooden on his can.

Off the court....just a day or so ago he said even he was stunned at what he had accomplished over the last 4 games..it was such a great feat. That's him saying that......not that the team played well---it was that HE played great. He almost came in the newspapapers over his 51 against the Knicks. I suppose you didn't read any of that?


Many times he has trashed players like Z and Gooden right on the court ..I saw it. Now if he didn't make any boneheaded plays it still would not be fine....but he does.,,,but he can't take criticism.


You're a true fool. Go suck his joint if you're so radio ga-ga over him.

Have you been to a NBA game? Have you seen a scoreboard from the court? The scoreboard in Quicken Loans Arena does display real time stats, but you cannot see them from the floor. The same is true for Market Square Arena. When you see players looking up, they are looking at the shot clock. Nash, Kidd, Kobe, Paul and James all do this. But trust me, they cannot see their stats from the court.

As far as him getting his triple double...I have no problem with that. The game I think you are referring to, Cleveland had that game well in hand. There are many examples of players playing for stats at the end of the game when the game has been decided. A triple double is very difficult to get and if a player has a shot at it then he should go for it as long as it doesnt effect the outcome of the game.

And yes I read what the newspapers said and I heard the interview. I love how you leave out details. The question addressed to him was about his individual play over the past few games. He said what you quoted but he went on to say that he could not have done this without the help from his teammates and coaches. He also said he was happy with the way the team was playing and that he thinks he can improve and that the team could improve.

You should get your facts straight before you start giving out examples.

You're about the biggest blind as a bat dumb fucl< as there is.


I am proud to say I have not been to an NBA game since before the Gund. I wouldn't pay 2 dollars to see one.


Oh...so you have been on the court? You know what they can see and can't?


What I mentioned was during a tme out on the sidelines...he was looking to see where his stats stood. I've never seen a guy come from the other side of the lane on a missed foul shot and bulldoze his teammate to get the rebound.And it's NOT OK...it's not.It's selfabsorbing bullsh!t.


And what you said he said was just more of his ....ups!!...I better throw in a teammate thing here.

Where did he mention teammates after the 51 against the Knicks? He ONLY mentioned what a great perfromance it was in bb's mecca and to receive a standing o form the crowd was more than he had ever dreamed.....but this time he forgot his teammates.




You're such a fucl<in' James shill it's sickening.

Are you on his payroll,too?





Don't you read where several writers have mentioned his gross hat size and inability to handle any criticism? Why don't you corroborate me on those things?

You can't see facts---all you see is the CHOSEN ONE.
