"... James grew particularly close with Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul on Team USA this summer, though there were some incidents with others who resented the star treatment James seemed to expect.
Despite his fame, he's still only 21 years old. At times his immaturity shows and he can be rude or indifferent. There was an incident early in Team USA's training camp when San Antonio veteran Bruce Bowen took exception to a brusque exchange with James and suggested quite loudly that "a please or a thank-you would be nice on occasion."
Perhaps it's no coincidence that Bowen did not make the final U.S. roster for the world championships."
