    Did you ever think you are so picked on because you always respond like a crybaby? Why not man up and ignore your critics instead of whining. He's a great player but I can't enjoy his game like Jordan because of his "poor me" routine.

    Can anyone imagine Jordan even making a statement after having to leave a game with a muscle cramp, much less going and having a sit-down interview WHILE THE FINALS ARE STILL GOING ON? Actually, I'm struggling to think of any superstar player that would do that. No tweetin and threepeatin. smh

    Poor LeBron believes the hype, is so totally enraptured, enchanted by himself.

    Stupid kid has never known anything different. He's been hyped up most of his teen/adult life. It's why players should go to college and have somebody in their lives who treats them as a nobody.

    You better get down to the Patent/Trademark office with that one before Riles beats you to it.

    That's from the commercial for the Lebron App©, which I'd be willing to bet is the biggest reason America is rooting for the Spurs. The voiceover is enough to make you want to punch a baby.

    I don't know how the app itself is, because I can't get past how much I hate the commercial. It is, quite possibly, the yest thing in the history of media. Not the app, not the app. Not the app. We talkin' bout the commercial for the app. If Lebron had half a brain he would have ordered that commercial killed before it ever saw airtime.

    Name one player in the NBA not in a San Antonio uni that isnt. The NBA caters to the crowd Lebron is the perfect spokesperson for the current mass of can't beat-em join-em NBA fans who would rather see a dunk from their favorite player than a win from their team. all these players are pussies.

    I heard that too and had the same reaction…what a f$#%ing politician. At least Timmy didn't go for it; he just stood there in staid silence. I loved it.

    I swear LeBron is mentally as weak as Shaquille O'Neal ever was.

    Speaking of which, I seem to have noticed that "no tweetin' and threepeatin'" line was omitted sometime during the conference Finals.

    ESPN is appalling when it comes to the coverage of this guy.. Wilbon with like a 20 min sit down interview with him to discuss his cramping and various other bull . They have overhyped and overrated his legacy for the last 3 years and if they lose this finals all ESPN will do is debate back and forth what the loss does to his legacy for weeks..

    The thing that gets me about Lebron is how invincible he presents himself when he is winning or playing well, and then when loses he jumps on this "hey, I'm only a man. Why is everyone picking on me?". He brings it on himself. Tattooing yourself "Chosen One" and then getting surprised when people get on you for not being perfect is just moronic. If the media/bloggers/fans got on someone else as hard as people are coming at Lebron for not finishing the game, I would think it was unjust. But he brings it on himself for over promoting himself and his talents.

    Along with media adoration comes media scrutiny and criticism. It is one of the reasons that Pop has always encouraged the Spurs to take a lower profile than lots of other teams' coaches would.

    Pop understands what happens to underdeveloped psyches in the glaring light of American celebrity.

    James doesn't understand it and never had the wisdom of someone like Pop that he would listen to. (sorry about the preposition hanging out there at the end.)

    The only reason I saw the commercials was because they were on during early round games I happened to just have on. The last month, I now leap for the remote as soon as I hear that nozzle voiceover.

    Actually, it's perfectly fine to end a sentence with a preposition. That's an old wives tale.

    LMAO. I've seen Neal Brennan do stand up and I didn't want to murder him. It's a combination of his voice and the copy. Delish. So fresh. All things bronbron.

    Really? Thank you. I never knew that. I do remember hearing the prohibition against it from an old wife, though, tbh (mother).

    That cramping up is a serious problem -- not him being a DQ. You could see on his face that he had heat exhaustion. I wonder if those compression selves he wears on his legs compounded the problem?

    Geez, if any of us grew up in his shoes we'd be exactly the same. He's been labeled the next coming since he was in elementary school. His high school basketball games were nationally televised. Everyone tells him he is the best (including our players and coaches). This has led to incredible wealth and incredible success on the court. Sure, he made some mistakes like The Decision, but mistakes happen in business all the time. You correct them and move forward. His public persona is his business. Alas, I do admit myself that I enjoy it when he fails because I see it somehow as a benefit to the Spurs.

    These two posts go hand in hand. I went to Espn.com and every damn thing I clicked on forced me two watch this commercial over and over.

    It's no wonder there bending over backwards to make excuses for him.
