LeBron's Worst Week Ever Was Following NBA Finals
Aug 22, 2011 1:20 AM EDT
LeBron James was recently in Barcelona for a European tour with Nike.

James was asked about how he felt following Miam's defeat in the 2011 NBA Finals.

"It was the worst week I ever had," said James. "I hate losing."

James was asked what he did during that week.

"I did nothing. Nothing at all."

The reporters really dropped the ball there. They should have asked "So how was that different from what you did the week before?".

Contrast with Nick Young's evident glee in celebration slapping hands with everyone at courtside.

Lebron was "striking a pose" for the thousands of fans who had turned out to have some fun at a charity game...and the fan who wanted LeBron to give her a high-five seemed pretty happy in the end. You're nitpicking, doc.

First of all, LeBron's dunk wasn't even good enough for a pose. That's "double douchery" IMO.

Second, the game N1 was playing in looked absolutely terrible. I was bored after about 15 seconds. No way I'm paying money for that garbage. I can watch guys play zero defense and showboat after every bucket for free at the local playground.

Not that any of this matters, but I was watching this clip when my girlfriend, who has no clue about basketball, came up and asked "why didnt he give her a high-five? douche". You defend him a lot, DCZards, and I have to give you credit for that, but there is definitely a high level of douchery within Lebron.

Antawn Jamison got his usual empty stats by firing up long jumpers or twisting shots in the paint whenever he got the opportunity to, but he was neither an efficient scorer or willing passer.

The league will also make traveling in the post and on the perimeter a point of emphasis, with a player hopping off of and landing on the same foot viewed as an automatic violation. Referees will also consider locking or clamping an opponent's arm or hand under the basket while battling for a rebound and discontinued or hesitation dribbles as automatic violations.

Bucher didn't have the balls to call this the "Crab Dribble" rule or the LeBron rule :lol:

Interesting set of new rules in that article.

LeBron is past his prime. He's lost A LOT of athleticism (mainly agility).

Video Interviews with a panel including Magic in clip two
http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:7338214

I believe this may likely be the turning point for LeBron. He is no longer trying to be bigger then MJ ( he dumped the 23 number ) and it seems he is realizing his path to his greatest success moving forward will be for him to become the best Scottie Pippen he can be for now. That said, he seemed to still not exactly get it because as Wade was being interviewed he interrupted when he felt ignored. Then he sounded like an idiot without anything to really say. It has to be a tough transition for from "The King" to the side kick.

I agree that Wade should take over and be the main voice and team leader. LeBron should focus on rounding out his game. He worked with "The Dream" on a post game this summer. He reached out to Magic also. I think in the next few years if he keeps this up, he is going to really round out his game and become a meaningful talented player. A champion.

Humility is job one for LeBron as it is with all people who reach great success. LeBron needs to put the marketing crap aside and focus on basketball. He has been way to involved and focused on the Hollywood side of basketball.

If he does this, in two years he should be a much more mature player who is actually prepared to carry his talent. Then when he gets a chance to be a lead dog again, unlike with Pippen after MJ was gone, LeBron should be able to do it better. He has a lot more physical tools. For those of you that watched "the making of Scottie P", Scottie was a mental basket case before MJ and Phil modeled him to greatness.

So it's looking like LeBron could be making the right moves finally. If he plays his cards right, he could be "unhated" one day and the leader of a team to a title. In two years, he will be only 28. I think the kid will slowly grow up and his best basketball may still be ahead of him. Hopefully he is more prepared to handle success better in round II.

If he goes about this the right way, I could learn to not hate him. If Miami lets Wade be the clear top dog with LeBron and Bosh as his side kicks, they could be really really good.

I wonder if LeBron is a fan of the Kardashians? Thanks to them, LeBron isn't the most hated player in the NBA.

Yeah, I saw that. Unfortunately, I don't think it states that it was La Douche personally who rejected the cake, but more likely his entourage/team. In any event, it was well within his douchebaggery limits.

Yeah I was going to post, but I do agree it was likely his entourage rather than him personally.

Maybe they can sell it to Kwame Brown :lol:
