What Lebron Wants Most That He Knows He Will Never Get - And It's Driving Him Crazy

[Koolaid_Man]

The true respect of his peers, the new generation of players and former all-time greats...it's eating away at him that no matter what he does, even while Kobe is injured..Kobe is still considered the gold standard by today's players, all of the recent rookie classes going back 10 yrs, and of course the All-time greats...Lebron is trying hard but he cannot crack the code of being more adored by those that actually play the game...

Sure he'll be a favorite in the media's eyes but from a peer perspective and even from a global fan perspective people don't look at Lebron with the same reverence and Awe that they do for MJ and Kobe and it's eating away at Lebron...he wants that more than anything but he'll never get it...sure SA and Heat fans will adore him but it will end there....

He lacks the Charisma, Charm, and looks of an MJ and Kobe....he's a by product of the hood and he's just not a handsome looking dude...he tries with all of the dancing but it just doesn't translate well...

Sorry Spur and Heat fan but there's nothing Lebron can do that will impress those that truly have played the game because they know he's not facing any real prime competition...if you want a good analogy just like Lebron to the Major League Baseball when you had a White League and a the Negro Leagues...all the white records were rendered meaningless when the Negro's were allowed to play...:lol same concept...I liken Lebron to the white league...he's just not playing the same level of prime competition that MJ and Kobe faced on both sides of the ball...

Here's an example of how Lebron's peers feel about him after 10 yrs in:

The second reason the Lakers may struggle to get a free agent is that Bryant has gained a reputation as a difficult teammate. The Lakers have been a fine destination of late for role players, but not for would-be stars such as Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, Shaquille O’Neal and Andrew Bynum, none of whom get the ball as much as they'd like, and all of whom, despite playing well, become targets for media scorn.

“Pau is a two-time champion and a five-time All-Star and he’s one of the most disrespected players ever,” notes one agent. “He gets bad press all the time.”

Another agent says: "The Lakers are Kobe. You have to understand that. It's not the organization for you if you want the ball or the spotlight. All that glitters ain't gold."

I asked a third agent, who has a Lakers client right now, if he thought Bryant might be a sticking point for free agents. His immediate response: "Uh, duh. Yes."

This might sound like a lot of rumor spreading, but players already have declined the option to play on the Lakers alongside Bryant. Howard turned down more guaranteed money to move on to a less celebrated franchise.

And don’t forget the fascinating case of Ramon Sessions. He was the toast of the Lakers for a brief spell -- and when he reached free agency there was every chance he could have returned as the Lakers’ starting point guard.

Instead he declined the Lakers' offer and opted to become the backup point guard for the Charlotte Bobcats, who were coming off the worst season in league history. Sessions has never expressed the slightest hint of regret.

The multiyear deal Charlotte offered was part of Sessions' calculus. But sources with knowledge of his thinking say tricky Lakers politics, where the blame tends to fall everywhere but with Bryant, was also on his mind.

The theory of finding a star to play alongside Bryant hinges on the notion that such a star would find joy in doing so. But who’s the role model for that? Here’s a Nash quote, from an interview this summer on Grantland:
I knew it wasn’t gonna be the same. I felt like I was going to try something new, and that I was going to adapt — and to accept that, and embrace it. I think it’d be nice to find a middle ground where he does his thing but the ball still can move for great parts of the game. Hopefully we can find that this season. But I knew it wasn’t going to be the same. When you play with Kobe Bryant, the ball is gonna be with him most of the time.

Does Nash sound joyous to you?

Bryant is the face of the franchise, a huge moneymaker and a global icon. It would take tremendous guts for the Lakers -- whose embattled lead decision-maker, Jim Buss, has already been belittled publicly, many times, by the likes of Phil Jackson -- to rile up Lakers fans by parting ways with Bryant - See more at: http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1273500#sthash.05f9uT5m.dpuf

John Hollinger: (3:57 PM ET ) Not really. On the court he's been absolutely brilliant, perhaps the best payer in the entire league (although Wade's PER is higher). When I said a week ago I couldn't endorse him for MVP, it was because of the other stuff, because it reallly affects their bottom line. To wit, nobody wants to play with him, which is why players weren't exactly flocking to accept LA's midlevel exception this summer. That's the one argument I can see for somebody like Nash vs. somebody like Kobe -- everybody wants to be Nash's teammate, and nobody wants to be Kobe's, and that impacts the quality of personnel their teams can acquire.

"So LeBron's sitting there next summer (2014) along with other free agents and the word is out - There's a lot of guys out there, I'll tell you that for sure, I've talk to players, I hang out and talk to a lot, I'm just saying this: nobody wants to play with Kobe, these free agents (don't want to play with Kobe)."

at least the sources he's bringing up have names :lmao. the 1 quote you bitches hang your hat on about Duncan 4 months ago was anonymous

[Mikeanaro]

He will never get that kind of respect, he is a media product just like Justin Bieber, dude is a pussy plus 4 steps, worst flopper ever in the playoffs.
Nobody is seeing him as the new Michael Jordan as OP said, dude is a spoiled brat in a big body zero charisma and his mom banged the entire Cleveland team not just Delonte West, but of course media did everything possible to keep that away from people, Kirby at least would try to kick some asses but thats no Brona case.
I remember years ago circa 07 Manu told an Argentinian newspaper that Lebron is a good player but he also understands NBA is a bussiness so they need to keep him in a godlike state.
Brona is a good player, but he gets to many stuff on his favor as I said 4 steps, flops, dont you ever punch him like they did with Kirby or you will be banned for life.

[whitemamba]

lol nigga, one more punch and Kirby would have went down cold, his knees buckled :lol glass jaw

is that a forgone conclusion? i stand by my words
