I know Lebron went overboard but the press is crucifying him. He is only mentioning the 'haters'. Not all fans. Nonetheless, I still dislike him but the media is exaggerating his comments.
Lebron better watch his PR, those endorsements aren't permanent.

Wow. So basically what he was trying to say is "when all is said and done, all these ty people have to go back to their ty lives."
Real classy, Lebron.
this dudes going to be screwed when hes done with basketball so i hope you enjoy talking to people you ing 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 bas . 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 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.

he loves the attention
he wanted now he has it
he gets all the credit when they win
he can get all the credit when they get their asses handed to them
even in the last game when they almost shot twice as many free throws
and dirk went 1-12 in the first half
But he's right tbhWow. So basically what he was trying to say is "when all is said and done, all these ty people have to go back to their ty lives."
Real classy, Lebron.
At the end of the day he's rich and famous and we(for the most part) are not. He couldn't let his game/team do the talking so he let his fame and wealth do it. When you have no ammo you use what you can.
Deshawn Stevenson rang before Lebron.
We may not be rich or famous, but we also don't have an entire nation of haters pointing and laughing at our every mistake.But he's right tbh

I don't know about you, but I'm perfectly okay with that.
LeBron is very predictable

Damn, remember when everyone loved him for his maturity at age 18? LeBron has gone from the next Jordan to the next Bonds pretty quickly.
All I did was print what he said and everyone agreed he's a sucking prick. How the can you blame that on the media?
I bet this ing prick put a million down on the Heat to lose and tanked so he could get richer.
I wonder if Wade ever regrets getting LBJ to come over.
Now Wade is his , is flat out told by the media LBJ is better, and has to sit there as LBJ ducks questions and gives re ed ass answers.
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.
Twisting LeBron's words to make him look bad, tbh..
This gif just made me spit coke on my computer.
That's the thing that really surprises me, how childlike and petulant he's become.
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" ...
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 le 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 ...
It was an asshole move, but people have been taking shots at the guy forever... I like that he fired back, but it is sort of insulting to commonfolk.
Times like these are when you see a man's true colors. LeBron is at a low point and can no longer hide his lack of character.
he has a right to answer the questions
first thing he should have said was the mavs were the better team
he said alot of other things then told everyone dallas d was underrated
said the haters were jerk and he could care less what they thought of him
told the press that twice
