You can hate the guy all you want, but let's not rewrite history. LeBron was the main reason the Heat won the Finals in 2012. He was a one-man wrecking crew against the Thunder and the other guys were pretty much standing around and watching.
Fair enough, but nowhere did I knock him as a player, or say he wasn't the main reason they won. I'll give him his credit. He was lights out in the finals. My issues are not with his talent and abilities on the basketball floor. All I mean is he ranks an absolute ZERO on why I'm a Cavs fan, why I'm here, and what I think about in regards to this team....
So let me rephrase the little work part of it. Let me change that to "least" amount of work possible. There is no question he was the driving force behind their ring. But it should be fairly obvious he wouldn't have won without Wade and Bosh on the roster. He even admits that's why he went there.
To me, I'm embarrassed for him that he went ring chasing at 26. And as an Akron resident, I felt a personal embarrassment that the most talented basketball player on Earth PROVED to be that mentally weak. He literally tapped out when the competition got to its highest peak. We watch sports to see the greats tackle challenges, not to run from them. Not only did he tap out, but he pointed fingers, told the fans we were spoiled with his play, drew (or tried) a line between Akron and Cleveland, said he hated Cleveland, and didn't call the man who signed his checks for 5 years to let him know he was leaving. This is beyond what he does on the floor. Everyone knows the story, but for some reason people (ESPN) want to let him off the hook, and continue to enable his behavior.
Also, before I'm informed no players win rings without great team mates, I know this. But how many of them have "chosen one" tattooed on themselves? How many call themselves "King"? If he had a humble and respectful attitude his ring chasing would be one thing (see Bosh). But to walk around like he's Jesus with a basketball and make the arrogant comments he does, it's a little surprising that he didn't feel he needed to validate his thoughts by winning a ring with HIS team.
And lastly, I don't hate him. I don't respect him enough to hate him.
How am i in a #6 conversation in the Cavs forum anyways? I avoid the "his highness" safari for this reason....
