TD and KD don't act like spoiled little shits. They don't openly call out officiating on a regular basis. They don't have web pages with GIF montages showing them flopping. They don't refer to themselves in the third person as royalty. Oh, and they don't need WCW pyrotechnic introductions whenever they join a team. Did Kobe or Jordan ever do that?
No, they play their game and make their TEAM better. I have all the respect in the world for them and feel that they are infinitely better players and human beings than LeB(itch) James or D(ouche) Wade 
I used to like the heat, and LBJ when he was humble. Their success didn't directly affect my contempt for them. The effect it had on them, did. |
Great points on KD and Tim for sure and agree they are not hated.
But, Jordan and Kobe were/are hated even though they didn't need the pirotechnic introductions etc etc.... Why? Envy, jealousy, greatness, etc etc....
If Lebron doesn't play his game to make his TEAMMATES better, I don't know what to tell you...
Maybe I need to delete my post saying I respect your point.. LOL

2forme EDIT: Its actually funny you say you don't like LBJ now that he is not be humble anymore, because actually ever since loosing the finals to Dallas (he got humbled), he has changed his demeanor immensely and does not require the "pyrotechnic" intros anymore. Last two postseasons has actually REMOVED all pre-game intro antics and gotten off twitter for the playoff run.
NOW having said that..... I do agree with all of you its bullshit to refer to himself as third person royalty. I hate that.
