Tiger has an Instagram and Kobe was all over social media before he passed away earlier in the year; in neither case did that accessibility prevent fans from regarding them as obsessive, unassailable assassins.
How can he expect to be taken seriously when he maintains close friendships with so many of his rivals Carmelo, Chris Paul, D-Wade? Observers have done their best to make sense of success that does arrive with compromise, that hints at a life beyond the hardwood, but they tend to dwell on shortcomings whenever they arrive: the fourth-quarter breakdowns, the passive final possessions, the press-conference malaise, The Decision.
What is a ring worth, then? Is it worth more than a foundation, a school, a point of view? America seems to think so. In some ways, the Jordan-LeBron debate is broken at its foundation. Really, they should be comparing The King to a different 20th-century sportsman: Muhammad Ali.
It stood for something. But no matter how well-compensated they may be, the players are the Labor. Winning has fueled LeBron James, there is no doubt. His original sin was being this good; his cardinal sin is being this good and managing to care about things other than competition. LeBron could theoretically rattle off three more championships. He will almost certainly end his career atop practically every relevant statistical category in NBA history.
Pundits, as if dangling a carrot, like to say that he can still catch Jordan. You can appreciate Jordan; you might love him. NBA 2K. Sports Empire Shop. Join The Team. Home NBA Media. By Lee Tran. If anyone still watches SportsCenter they realize it is cut down into segments. I know, pick me, I know the answer LeBron and the Heat. Isn't anyone else sick of it? Get it? Even though the tab would come up as "NBA" and even though there were 10 other games going on at the same time, ESPN would just show the Miami Heat score and move on to the next sport.
But wait, there's more. Just because he is LeBron James , his plays are automatically better. If a guy like Al Thornton produces a play that is exactly the same as LeBron's, LeBron will always be ranked higher in the countdown because of who he is. Don't believe me?
Then watch any episode of SportsCenter. Finally, James still receives more airtime than the Mavericks despite the Mavs' Finals victory. The minds at Bristol make it seem as if the Heat lost the Finals, not that the Mavs won it. Being that James has proven, time and time again, that he simply can't close out games makes it is difficult to regard him as one of the best ever to play the game. Throughout these NBA Finals, LeBron has continuously passed up open shots, clanked late field-goal attempts, and eventually refused to rebound or play defense in the fourth quarter.
I will take note of his Eastern Conference Finals game where he scored Cleveland 's last 25 points in a double-overtime victory. But that seems to be it for him. Can you really remember a moment where LeBron carried his team to a meaningful victory?
Whether it is about how great he thinks he is or how important he thinks he is, James has constantly putting his foot in his own mouth. I'm going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that. This statement was made by James fresh off the Game 6 loss to Dallas and shouldn't be mistaken for anything less than a blatant shot at NBA fans.
He clearly spoke his mind and put himself above, for lack of a better term, "average" person.
