6. Lives off of his 0-3 foot game (I also couldn't stand Orlando Magic Shaq for this reason)
7. The fans who overrate him and love putting down Kobe, of course.
8. Though related directly to #3/4, the Miami Big 3 was the most cheating move in NBA history, alongside Durant. Then stating "not 6, not 7, not 8" in tandem showed a complete lack of competitive drive, if he's to be considered a fierce competitor, which just isn't. He's not Bird, Wilt, Magic Kobe or Jordan when it comes to that.
3, 4 and 8 are the same thing. Lack of competitive drive is also a funny criticism for a player who has competed at the highest level for this long.
Disliking a playstyle is a interesting reason to hate a player, especially when every all time great big man is in a similar boat of dominating at the rim: Wilt, Duncan, Hakeem, etc... (and Lebrons not even close to any version of Shaq for attempts at the rim).
As is hating him for his fans lol
Funny criticism? Everyone was criticizing him for this reason. The big 3 decision and stating "not 6, not 7, not 8" before playing a game, as if they had already won was proof. Quitting on his team multiple times? Not guarding Kevin Durant
in the finals? Wouldn't you consider flopping and checking out on defense indications as well?
How about my signature?
I get it, you're a fan. But he's made plenty of uncompetitive actions and you already know that I'm not the only one who's hated those actions.
Deep inside the core of Lebron's personality, there are 3 things that made him so unlikeable:
1. Narcissism, the whole King and Chosen one thing.
2. Lack of humility, the decision and the Heat "not1, not2, not3, ..." were blatant disrespect towards fans/players/team he left behind. That and it was disrespectful towards everyone moving forward as a Heat back then. The constant self proclaiming #1 Goat is truly not helping either. The excuses when on the receiving end of L.
3. No shame, flopping is literally cheating. The travelling ... Zzz.
He truly earned it tbh. Don't forget he is currently experimenting with Nepotism ... lol.
There is someone in this thread mentioned the reason MJ is so popular is because of propaganda. Rofl, dude is literally kidding himself. As if NBA, Nike, Klutch Sports and whatever sponsors Lebron has don't run enough propaganda for him as The Goat.
Lebron has the age of information (internet/social media) on his arsenal for propaganda, reaching wider audiences more so than the 80s and 90 and yet he never reached the popularity of MJ.
