You guys have a point, these are all very valid reasons to dislike the guy. I personally don’t disagree with any of them.
But I constantly see you two posting almost solely anti-LeBron screeds, to the point where I quite literally can’t remember another post from either of you that wasn’t either about LeBron or tangentially related to how much you dislike him and how much better Jordan was etc. You are constantly and I do mean obsessively attempting to convince people to join you in your deeply rooted dislike of him.
Additionally you both have him in your signature, the appendix to every single post you make on this forum, so in a sense you do literally talk about LeBron in every single post you’ve made (thousands for both of you) on this forum.
So clearly he means quite a lot to you, deeply affects you enough to have him in your signature, consistently talk about him, consistently bring up your dislike and hatred for him. What is so special about him exactly? How has he affected you so deeply?
I post about basketball. You're just seeing many Lebron posts because the fans could care less what I think about Jason Tatum. They're constantly quoting and giving lashback to valid opinions on Lebron posts specifically, which there are plenty of threads/posts on this forum- and to be honest? I find it amusing. If you see posts from me specifically mentioning him, it's for one of three reasons;
1. It is in a Lebron thread where I give my opinion
2. It is because I've been quoted by a fan or in a Lebron thread
3. It is a thread where Lebron is a very important example, and since
he's been this generation's greatest player, it makes sense that he'd have many mentions.
4. Gorilla in the room - I genuinely don't care much for today's NBA. It's mostly a bore until the playoffs, as far as I'm concerned.
I post about what I do know. I've lived through the past, I know plenty of stats regarding that comparison (I've had to, thanks to fans) and this is what drives his fans crazy.
When you see evidence that goes against your core belief about someone, it ticks you off much more than anything because
you don't want to accept it but yet there it is, in front of your face.
I can point out his free throw percentage, turnovers, his failures, etc which are all valid points. But this is precisely what will drive his fans crazy. They simply can't accept it and accept flaws. But if he's going to be compared as a GOAT candidate, they must get used to it.
If you go through my replies, you'll see that the above listed three points are true almost all the time.
I just looked at my "notifications" - nearly all are within this thread and "Is Jokic better than Lebron...." etc thread.
Now what I want to know is why you singled out Gregoire and I instead of the usual suspects who quote our posts and only attempt to be clever or throw insults without any valid points? That is what perpetuates this. I usually state my opinions respectfully until the ignorant replies start coming in.
I'd be willing to bet that you're on that side of the fence as well. We can't have double standards. I'm sick of his name as much as anyone, but I'm going to state my opinion every time and I have no issues going back or forth when needed. I basically practice this as a boxer anyway. Those posters will gain the maturity over time to realize that it's only a snowball effect at best.
On the bright side, realgm has improved significantly over the last couple of years when it comes to post quality.
This is specifically a Lebron thread. Let's not forget that either.
