tbh, Bill Plaschke is the one who needs a dump taken on him. What a ing waste of a journalist he is.

The first article is . Haven't read the rest.

These are the same in' writers who lament the obsolescence of the team game and criticize the "selfishness" of the modern NBA player who is only concerned with money, fame, and his personal legacy, and now that James is doing the opposite of that, they criticize him for "taking the easy way out."

If you're an professional athlete, superstar or otherwise, the number one goal you should have is winning, and not being overly concerned with "personal challenges" or how you will eventually measure up to the greatest players of all time.

midnight, you can stop defending Lebron. KD is our new guy.

LAL writers have no credibility on this subject.

Bill Plaschke is like America's 12 year old blogger.

Honestly, I just want some of these re s to be aware of their own hypocrisy.

I'm no great fan of Lebron, but most of the detractors (mostly Kobe fans) can't decide what they are exactly criticizing him for and seem to hold Lebron to different standards than their hero.

Also, these writers are just butthurt that they no longer have the "next Jordan" to write about and fawn over. They gave up trying to usher Kobe into that role after the 04 and 08 Finals debacles and realize that Kobe will most likely never give them a great Finals performance that they can describe as "Jordan-esque." James was the only thing they had going in that regard, and now the he's paired up with a player of his similar skill level in Dwyane Wade, they'll have to retire the Jordan angle.

Yup. But here comes KD.
