So..to him proving stupid fans wrong is more of an incentive to win games?

Teammate::"Hey LeBron, we can hold on to the 4 seed if we win tonight"
LeBron:"Meh"
Dumb Fan:"Do you ever not suck LeBron? Hahahaa..oh I'm so creative."
LeBron:|"It's gametime.."

I would talk **** to him if I was there..I'd bring a sign that says, "I'm not rich..don't hurt me Lebron"..

Kobe!

Lebron has not demanded a trade or had major conflicts with coaches, fans, sponsors, teammates, or 19 year old white girls.

I'm not about to hand Lebron anything but a petition to help the people of Darfur.

Lebron doesn't know OUR people of Darfur..I heard he thought Ira said "da fur", so he thought he meant those people that make his fur coats..of course he said rejected the petition..

I'm surprised he didn't call Newble out about it..

True but was just stating that Kobe has likely heard a lot worse from the crowd then Lebron.

I hate on Kobe's off the court antics all of the time, but I find it stupid that he gets grief about it, but LeSlave gets a pass..IIRC, Kobe never **** on someone doing something for charity..it's a shame that so many people don't know about the incident, and that so many people downplay it..such a shame that the best player in the NBA is selfish and snobby, and doesn't respect where he came from..what a **** sell out..

Not signing a petition is not defacating on someone doing charity.

EDIT- nevermind, I was ignorant towards the situation.

I don't think it's about his ancestry it's about doing the "right" things with your money and fame, well to be honest I guess you could even simplify that and say it's about doing the "right" thing in general regardless of who you are.

Even if Lebron didn't give anything to the cause, which I don't think you can obligate him to do (because for all we know he could be doing tons of great things for people with his own money without the media hype - and even if he's not it's HIS money), it's his faux naiveness of the situation, and of global / ethical situations in general, that annoys the hell out of me. To that extent I found Lebron's Nike sweatshop comments more disturbing than Lebron's Darfur incident.

I can understand if Lebron's media buddies want to carefully monitor what he has to say, but have a little bit of a soul and just say that the events of Darfur have been horrible. You don't have to pledge all of your money away, but have a little heart.

Lebron might be the best player in the game but come on...this happens to every star player it just gets overhyped by ESPN and the internet because ESPN in particular has an investment in him.

Each time it's been pointed out by the announcers. It really is no different than Jordan and his running dialogues with Spike Lee. It just so happens that both times LeBron totally dominated the 4th quarters.

Yea my bad, I had to edit my comment. I read up on the situation with Lebron and darfur....absolutely ridiculous. "it's his faux naiveness of the situation" what annoys me too. It's a shame he didn't go to college, because he's obviously not very knowledgeable and very ignorant to many things going on in the world. Global Icon like Ali....my ass.

I disagree with the overhype or star players in general get hyped. Great play brings on and fuels the hype. Lebron is playing like a mad man right now, so he's getting more hyped then ever. DHoward started of the season with a bang and got tons of hype. Dwade won a championship, and got tons of hype too. The hype is usually deserving, and does not start spontaneously.

Aren't you doing, repeatedly, basically the same thing you are criticizing LeBron for - ripping him for his charity work when you really have no idea what he does? The NBA thinks enough of his charity work that they gave him the community assist award for doing exactly what you accuse him of not doing, giving back to the community he's from.

In recognition of LeBron James
