Westbrook became upset with LeBron being a fake person

[Big_Aristotle]

No caring father would watch their son fail in college and think the NBA is a good idea.
Helping his son would be sending him back to college or into a foreign league to gain experience.

And during that time they would assess whether their son is good enough for the NBA, or whether their son will be ridiculed for nepotism forever.
Austin Rivers proved himself in college (!5.5ppg) before entering the NBA, that is not the case with Bronny.

And it makes even less sense just after a cardiac arrest, when there as no logical reason to rush Bronny into the NBA, since his father clearly was not retiring last season... because that's what this is really about, LeBron wanting Bronny in the NBA for LeBron.

Are you a father? How old are you?

Am I allowed to give out personal information like that? I don't see anybody else saying their age or family dynamic...

I don't need to know your exact age. Based on your comments, I think you are a teenager and definitely not a father. So right now, whatever I tell you, you'll not understand. As Samuel Johnson said: "I can give you an argument, but not an understanding"

LeBron being fake has been going on for 23 seasons.

Its impossible to be "real" at that level of fame, the world will chew you up

ehh kd, curry, Giannis, embiid, AI, Shaq, Kobe all come across as genuine guys. none of those guys pretended to read books

It's a little funny that you chose to avoid what he said and deflect back towards him. It's OK if player consumes a lot of your thoughts. It's just weirder and more unhealthy when it comes from a position of hate.

Lol the only difference between me and him is i made a negative comment about James while he makes negative comments about Jordan. But only one of us bothers you. Lol i made a comment calling James the most unlikeable player in the nba for the past 20 years. Its my opinion. So what?

Where did I say it bothers me? The irony is you called out someone for apparently being a hypocrit in another post yet you have done exactly that.

You make plenty of negative comments about Lebron so sure sounds like you guys have plenty in common.

So id be applying what you said to him back to you then aye

Ok lol ill wait to see your response to them then. Have a nice day!

[Johnny Bball]

Lebron "not knowing a single line from Godfather" immediately makes me question this lol. Its literally one of the most quoted movies ever.

Can't come up with "an offer he can't refuse"?

[Ice Man]

Russ was always emotionally weak and disruptive. Now he's both while also being a bad player. What a combination that is.

[The4thHorseman]

Look who’s talking lmao!!!! You defend bron bron like he is your family member or something. Does he know you fight for him on here? Double post lol clown

My comments stay in the comparison thread, where you get triggered in every LeBron thread made and there's definitely a hell of lot more James threads made than there are Jordan threads. You've tried to engage me many times bringing up James for no reason, I've never done that with you, Im not that insecure.

You need to learn that teams who MJ went up against in the finals weren't considered dynasty teams, yet you still claim they were just to try to prop MJ up even further. You know MJ's in trouble when you have to make up fake dynasties.

[therealbig3]

None of us know these guys personally, so who honestly cares?

LeBron is fake...ok, who gives a ****? Pretty much every celebrity has their public persona and then their real one, none of us really know them.

If he thinks it was fake that LeBron pushed for Westbrook to be traded after pushing for him to be traded there in the first place...yeah, I can see why he's upset, but it was also pretty obvious pretty quickly that Westbrook kinda sucked at that point, or at least didn't fit with the Lakers at all. I mean, one way to look at it is that LeBron wanted something, quickly realized it wasn't working, and wanted to cut his losses and salvage what they could. Which isn't wrong.

Pot calling the kettle black lol. You are basically calling me out for something that you do! You responded to my post in this thread. Not the other way around lol! Go back through the pages guy. Who engaged who?

And as far as your second paragraph, if you were old enough to have watched the Utah Jazz during the 90s you would understand how special that team was.

Anthony Davis is such a follower.. dude gets up when Bron gets up. Beta personified.

[VanWest82]

Not sure I understand the motivation for this coming out now, nor do I want to...that said, Lebron's behaviour over his entire NBA career suggests this is probably true.

ehh kd, curry, Giannis, embiid, AI, Shaq, Kobe all come across as genuine guys. none of those guys pretended to read books

Kd is pretty real about his feelings and gets memed on or into twitter fights all the time because of it so that is the counterpoint to why a player would be PR savvy

Kobe had to rebrand hinself with the whole mamba persona after his rape trial and created a bit of a soft cult around his persona ans the fact this got a fraction of the lasting hate lebron still gets for the decision kinda shows how fake these moral outrages about players attitudes or drama is

We see a dude like shai who is as much of a chill dude as it gets being hated by people who feel he is "fake" because they dislike his game or dont find him charismatic enough to vicariously follow, is all pretty shallow

Jordan himself is a good example of promoting a everyman father public image while still active

There is no correct amswer to this stuff because one way or the other (politically correct or brazen outspoken) you can get dedicated haters and media to make a cottage industry out of following your life, both "positively" or negatively coverage wise

Trump got accused several times yet that didn’t stop the huge Latinos for Trump movement. What’s your point? Only reason it still gets brought up is because it’s a white womans account vs a black man.

LeBron fans like to bring this up - in a thread about him specifically having nothing to do with Kobe - shows time and time again they’re the worst fan base. I guarantee you these Bron fans are not black.

No politics on the GB please. Not to mention the weird racial theories. Next violation will be a strike and possible suspension. -b

I am incredibly confused what are you even trying to say or what point you are supposed to be making

That is interesting

I'd never eat Pizza with a fork, but LeBron's not the only one who does so. Wonder why though.

Man....other than KD and AI I dunno. Shaq is pretty damn phony if you ask me.

Honestly the only hoopers relevant to LeBron's level of stardom are MJ and Kobe. It's a difference when you are a big star outside of the game like MJ, LeBron.
