I think he was being sarcastic. "Detroit beat themselves".... honestly, how can that not be sarcasm?

maybe cause he is a stupid arrogant prick, even though he is the best in the game.

There's no question that he's an amazing talent, and arguably the best player in the NBA today.

But he's also VERY arrogant, obnoxious, and a loud mouth. His attitude and personality stink. It's hard to like a player when every time they open their mouths it's nothing but verbal diarrhea.

he's just calling out his teammates to step up. That's what Kobe and Jordan did and it worked.

LeBron was talking from a 3rd person's perspective in that interview. He was repeating what critics have been saying about his team all season. He was basically trying to point out that no one should under-estimate the Cavs.

this is the effect of being worshipped and pampered and told he is the greatest from an early age.
he is a uncomparable talent, with very little gauge on how to treat his fellow humans.
but..... you can't argue with the Finals appearance so.........

Everyone's a hater nowadays.

Good thing RealGM wasn't around when Jordan was playing because it would all be - "ballhog this, ballhog that", "he should give Scottie more touches", "he has no right calling out Kukoc like that", "what they lost!?!? he probably had money on that game".

Not comparing Jordan to LeBron cause LBJ has got a loooong ways to go but, when someone is on top or close to it, there's always those people on the bottom trying to knock you down.

Actually, I bet you most people here felt the same way about Kobe until he beat them into submission with his 81 point smackdown.

I like Kobe as a professional for the most part. At least, he usually handles himself maturely on the job (many of his most classless moments were done off the record). Kobe didn't rub it in at the post-game press conference when he dropped 81 on us, when most players would have.

Lebron on the other hand annoys me in whatever he does.

Making a fool of himself on All-Star Saturday, trying to butt into his teammate's screentime and everyone else's--even Kobe and Jordan never did that. It's called dignity, and I don't think Lebron has it.

That's true on all accounts. It'd be hilarious though, we've come a long way.

I used to like lebron when he was a talented mature and humble young player. Im not sure why he has become so full of himself and such an attention seeking whore.

This board is full of hatred, of our own players and others around the league. That I am sure of.

Where's the love?

So when asked whether the Cavs could beat the Celtics for the Eastern Conference crown, James said: ''They've got to beat us. Why does everybody keep saying we've got to beat the Celtics? We're the defending Eastern Conference champions. At what point do we get a little respect? I'm sick of hearing about everybody else. We hold the title right now and San Antonio holds the title for the league.''

James doesn't like what he hears about his team in last year's playoffs.

''We're not that good, that's what everybody says,'' he said. ''We didn't beat Detroit, Detroit beat themselves. Washington was missing key guys and New Jersey didn't play up to their capabilities. Enough of the Cavs right now, All-Star Weekend is the only questions I'm answering. You all got me a little upset.

Where's the deception?

I can't believe all the people who scanned the quote and thought it was LeBron voicing his own thoughts on his team. He is clearly quoting the media and is disgusted with the lack of respect given to his team.

And honestly, all this hatred for LBJ, saying he's arrogna t and all this other stuff...I don't get that either. Is he confident? Yes. Arrogant? I've seen no proof of this at all. One of my favorite players to watch and a decent interview as well.

IMO the way he carries himself on court comes off as arrogant. He seems like a decent guy but I cant stand him and I cant really put a finger on why exactly. I like Kobe on the other hand and always have.

BTW you know hes being sarcastic with what he said. How can people not see this.
