The wild thing is after that, he came back to that lowly franchise and carried them to a ring in a fashion that might be forever unrivaled, all things considered.
I truly don’t understand the sentiment that he’s somehow particularly self-centered (BTW: he’s probably gonna finish his career #2 in assists which might as well be #1 since no one is touching Stockton’s record) or particularly arrogant. Yet, people seem to worship Jordan and Kobe because they are lunatic assholes (one of which is known to have raped someone and got away with it because the victim was overwhelmed with threats). MJ might’ve got his dad killed and shadow-suspended by the league for gambling. But “lol”, what alphas they are! Those two were also more arrogant and orders of magnitude more selfish than LeBron.
Do people hate LeBron cuz he smiles and makes any effort to show congeniality to his teammates? Is that the difference?
I actually think LeBron is one of the more humble of the GOATs. He’s been with the same woman his entire adult life. No scandals. I do not get the hate, except that it’s probably a reflection of how sick our society is.
