From Miami, LeBron would later send his message to them, to the folks enjoying his failure.

“At the end of the day, all the people that was rooting on me to fail – at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today,” James said. “They have the same personal problems they had today …

“They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal, but they have to get back to the real world at some point.”

LOL I was a fan of Lebron's game up until these playoffs and finals. That quote pretty much has lost me.

I don't give a flying fuck about Lebron's money. He can keep it.

How about taking some responsibility and manning up instead of calling out the haters after basically playing like a fucking coward in the 4th quarter of not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, but 6 4th quarter finals games in a row.

He's spent his entire life hearing he could do no wrong. Since he starting playing basketball, everyone has blown him. He doesn't know how to handle criticism. He's not used to being told he was the weak link.

As far as the media was concerned, he was always given the benefit of the doubt when he failed. He blamed his teammates and the media blamed his teammates. He blamed Dan Gilbert and the media did the same. His biggest mistake was when he started blaming the media for his failures. The same people who had built him up since he was 12. Now everyone with a press pass and a keyboard is shitting all over King James.

this dudes going to be screwed when hes done with basketball so i hope you enjoy talking shit to people you fucking neanderthal

first of all lebron or "at the end of the day" when your knees are destroyed and body has shut down , your friends will be sucking your savings and regurgitating gay lines to feed your ego . i'm sure you have figured out how to live outside of your ridiculous means, you were well scripted coming out of HS. slowly but surely (alot of spurs fans were waiting) the (real lebron james) is a filthy, rude, disgusting, dumb, extremely low self esteem w/fake arrogance punk. you are everything you hate in a man im sure. my dad always said to watch the way a man deals with misfortune/personal battles and the coward will come out /show themselves in no time.

when i see lebron at the games something tells me lebron is going to have a (possessed life) who knows he may be or you can just say all sorts of evil is radiating from that sick bastard. his mom getting screwed from his co-workers/players?!!? his friends bangin his ugly wife, these are things money cant hide or disguise, you dirty mother F##$%@ imagine what happened to this dudes child hood? i wouldnt be surprised if she raped his ass and that would explain alot of the strange stories

but for him to talk down on "regular" people who actually make the world spin not just a basketball just shows me how dumb this tard is . im so serious when i say i wouldnt trade to be lebron even for a day!! or 90% of rich famous people, its amazing how sick/evil hollywood/ big sports get.... i can say w/out a doubt this dude has some bad life ahead

Lebron's people have seriously failed him.

As much as Lebron makes himself look like a fool by his words and actions, you'd think that the people whose job is to advise him would find ways to avoid these kinds of situations. Instead, they seem to have done nothing to polish him enough to have an internal censor to avoid statements like last night's tantrum; and they do him a disservice by constantly trying to find ways to spin his asinine comments.

I'm still stunned at how long it took him to even suggest that he understood the uproar that came after "The Decision;" it remains all the more stunning to me that any sane person around him would have allowed that to ever happen. I had thought that would be an outlier and that someone would help Lebron to understand just how tonedeaf his reaction to that entire thing was, but clearly it is not.

LeBron's Parting Shot

At first, it seemed like real progress for LeBron. He actually stuck around long enough to talk to the media after losing Game 6 of the NBA Finals last night. In the past he's been unwilling to address the media after losing a playoff series. Perhaps, we all thought for a minute, LeBron was really starting to grow up.

But then he opened his mouth.

"At the end of the day, all the people rooting for me to fail, they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life they had before they woke up today," James said. "They have the same personal problems they had today. I'm going to continue to live the way I want to live. . . . They can get a few days or a few months on being happy about not only myself but the Miami HEAT not accomplishing their goal, but they have to get back to the real world at some point."

First of all, LeBron is making a huge assumption that everyone else is just a poor, unfortunate soul compared to him. Everyone else just has to find a little bit of respite from their miserable lives by taking a small amount of pleasure in LeBron's failure . . .and then it's back to being miserable all the time.

Second, he proves he hasn't learned anything at all. He's going to continue to live the way he wants to live. Remember the old story of the fox and the sour grapes from Aesop's Fables? The fox can't reach the delicious-looking grapes that hang from a very high branch and eventually decides they are probably sour anyway and just moves on.

Trust me, LeBron, the grapes aren't sour. Winning a championship is the single most distinguished accomplishment a professional athlete can achieve, no matter the sport. It takes a lot of hard work, a lot of determination, some degree of luck, and even a significant amount of soul-searching to be the absolute best. In the case of the Dallas Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki had to learn to be a verbal leader, Jason Terry had to shake his annual playoff slump, Jason Kidd had to learn to hit the three consistently, and Mark Cuban had to learn to keep his mouth shut. All of these guys were able to look at themselves in the mirror and recognize that something had to change.

What about you, LeBron? Chosen One? King? What are we Witnessing, exactly? Narcissism at its worst?

The hope of the poor miserable souls who continue to hope for more out of you is that you'll take this loss to heart, learn something from it, maybe even come back a better player and a better person next season. But is that a rational hope?

"I'm going to continue to live the way I want to live. . . ."

How is that, exactly? Does it involve a commitment to being an NBA Champion one day? If so, you have a long way to go.

The mirror would be a great place to start.

As for the miserable souls around you, we'll be fine. We'll start by celebrating an amazing championship with some of the classiest professionals to ever put on an NBA jersey, and then we'll all go about our lives. We'll have new children, we'll enjoy hot summer days on the beach or at the lake, we'll work hard and we'll play hard, we'll have successes and we'll have failures, and through it all we will, hopefully, grow into ever-better people, day by day.

No need to have pity on us, LeBron, though we thank you for the patronizing and self-aggrandizing thought.

So long and thanks for all the fish, King James. I'm off to buy some Mavs championship gear, after which I will have some friends over for a backyard barbeque. We'll take a dip in the pool and celebrate summer, a Mavs championship, and the baby my wife is about to bring into the world. And yes, I'll raise a glass in your honor, thanking the basketball gods that for the next 12 months we can celebrate a true NBA champion like Dirk Nowitzki and perhaps hear a little bit less about overhyped players who don't understand what greatness really is.

That's going to be another one of those things that will get quoted and used to haunt Lebron more and more until he not only wins a ring, but really leads a team to one. Maybe we're reading too much into that statement but it's pretty telling on some level. When the great ones lost you know who was the toughest critic? Themselves. Nothing some writer or some fan said was going to sting them as bad as the feeling of not being good enough to win. It sounds like Lebron's listening too much to the people saying he's not good enough. So much so that he's not bothering to ask himself if they're right and what he can do about it.

You know, there was a point in the 4th quarter of Game 6 where Wade was obviously trying to take the game over and was doing a reasonable job of keeping the Heat afloat briefly. I thought, though, that you could see in his face a belief that he had to do that if his team was to have any chance -- that he couldn't rely on his teammates to make plays that would give them even an opportunity to win.

Great points JAG, like DPG you are very insightful when not being a "prick" ... :lol

Seriously, though I "think" you hit the mail on the head. stat lovers in the media fed us these lines that he was not only the best, but it was not even close. They threw the FO, his teammates and his coach under the bus. not once did Lebron get the blame until last season. so he ran from his mission of bringing a title to Cleveland to join forces with wade and many of his supporters are turning in to his biggest critics ... Simmons, Wilbon etc were the some of the folks that were sucking him off shamelessly but have turned.

But, some like Hollinger and Abbott probably still will because his PER and win shares etc. are good. To me to hate on him now smacks of hypocrisy. I always thought he was arrogant POS (the chosen one tattoo) but hey so is Kobe and so was MJ but who cares. What rankles me is skill wise he is not as good as Mj or even Kobe or wade ...but I tried so hard to root for him. But anyone can see his physical gifts and how little he gets out of them. For him to win, like shaq, he will need a top flight coach (PJ?) AND Wade to maintain his high level of play ...

I saw several of them first hand as I was there. It's docummented in several articles. I remember one "Odom" quote as Bron was sitting on the bus and barking at some volunteers. "Maybe a liitle thank you would go a long way when ordering around your people" or something along those lines.

I always thought it was Mike Brown's influence telling him how to act and conduct himself as a professional and bring some of the Spurs ways over to Cleveland. Lebron to me seemed a lot more classy and mature a few years ago. I don't know what happened either. You guys would know better than us?

No one could stand James as a 19-year-old in the 2004 Athens Olympics, nor the 2006 World Championships. Officials feared James could become the instigator of everything they wanted to rid themselves for the ’08 Olympics.

Woja is a Bron hater though so many pass it off as ramblings but there was definetly a discussion by the 2008 team to possibly leave him off because of all the crap that went on in Athens. I saw several of them first hand as I was there. It's docummented in several articles. I remember one "Odom" quote as Bron was sitting on the bus and barking at some volunteers. "Maybe a liitle thank you would go a long way when ordering around your people" or something along those lines.

He's just a spoiled arrogant athlete that has always been catered to. They don't handle advirsity very well. Nothing more.

Didn't Bruce Bowen have a go at him when Bruce for trying out for Team USA for the 2006 world championships. I only read that recently so not sure what happened there. I think it said he was ordering people around and acting like a total ass and Bruce had a talk with him and then not long after Bruce got cut from the team. I think that also gave Bruce extra motivation in the 2007 finals. Anyone heard that story?

He's spent his entire life hearing he could do no wrong. Since he starting playing basketball, everyone has blown him. He doesn't know how to handle criticism. He's not used to being told he was the weak link.

As far as the media was concerned, he was always given the benefit of the doubt when he failed. He blamed his teammates and the media blamed his teammates. He blamed Dan Gilbert and the media did the same. His biggest mistake was when he started blaming the media for his failures. The same people who had built him up since he was 12. Now everyone with a press pass and a keyboard is shitting all over King James.

Zing, we have a winner. I did wake up to some of the same issues I've had for a minute, but for the first time in a LONG time I couldn't take my eyes away from the television watching ESPN. The same station that helped create LeHype got feedback ranging from people questioning their messiah to dismantling the facade. It's like the world is rotating in the opposite direction. Props to the Mavs. :toast

Whats sad for the Mavs is that we are hearing more about why LeDouche choked again verses how well the Mavs played and how well they were coached throughout. All I hear on ESPN is what is wrong with LeCrab and his stupid comments about us poor folks.

It's true, they might not get their just due this time around ironically enough because of the 3-headed monster they just got done slaying and the hype surrounding the machine in Miami but the Mavs and their fans have something no one can take away from them as a result and have something LeBron is still seeking out.

As time moves along and basketball gets back to business (draft, CBA, etc.) Dallas will be recognized more as the defending champs and the team to beat going into next season. For now, I'm enjoying what I'm seeing until the major networks reload and hop back on LeBron's nutsack like he never fell flat on his face.

From Miami, LeBron would later send his message to them, to the folks enjoying his failure.

“At the end of the day, all the people that was rooting on me to fail – at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today,” James said. “They have the same personal problems they had today …

“They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal, but they have to get back to the real world at some point.”

All true tbh... some people put too much effort into hating him. He plays basketball for 48 minutes a night about 100 time a year.. the rest of that time i dont think hes feeling sorry for himself like alot of ppl think :lol.

Losing to Orlando opened the crack in his psyche.

Coincidentally, that's when my love affair started with the Magic :lol. Lewis, Hedo, Pietrus and Skip did work and overcame a big Game 2 loss to take control of the series. Pietrus in particular defended Bron Bron and Orlando gave a total team effort similar to Dallas.

Bruce definitely took it to LeBron in the 2007 Finals, though I'm wondering if his horrible play and low averages were more due to Bowen or because of the fact that he's a pussy with no balls on the big stage. He raped the Pistons but turned into shriveled pair of nuts against the Spurs in the Finals.

I thought Oberto was as big a factor as Bowen in terms of the Spurs handling LeBron. Oberto did a great job showing and keeping LeBron from turning the corner. They didn't exactly leave Bowen on an island, it was a team effort.

Very true, his contributions were extremely underrated. His rotation along the baseline and on help defense was amazing. I really miss that dude. If we had him playing major minutes ahead of Dice we might've gotten farther in the playoffs. Probably not winning the title but we might've met Dallas in the WCF. He played perfectly within the system. Damn I miss that guy.

Message from LeBron


Congratulations Mavericks on the championship

...especially Dirk, J.Kidd, & Terry who have done so much for our league and worked so hard to get here. They deserve all the credit for what they have accomplished. Thank you to all my family, friends and especially the fans for standing by me this year. Miami fans are incredible. A special thank you to my teammates, coaches and Pat Riley and Micky Arison for all of their support. A lot to learn from this year, a lot to build on, and a lot of work to do this summer.
