Did you just pull this out of your ass? Who has called Lebron James, 2 time gold medalist Lebron James “LeBronze”?

Dawg this is a thread topic for a 2004 geocities message board

No, I don't think so. Making fun of him is not the same as solely blaming him. Clearly he has a lot of haters regardless but no one actually blames LeBron for the 2004 Olympics. This thread is hilariously silly

Implicit in the fun making is the idea that he bears blame. There would be nothing to make fun of otherwise.

Nope, that is not how logical deduction works. Nice try though

I don't know what this mental game is from Lebron fans but definitely false.

1 guy maybe blames lebron out of a forum of 1000s in some rabdom post and "why does lebron get blamed for 2004" gets asked to everyone who doesnt care.

I've never seen him get blamed. (Except for the 4th post)
He didn't get minutes not his fault.

He also got bronze in 06 world cup, him and wade were leading that team. Maybe they are refering to that bronze?

Name one thing Jordan or Kobe have been blamed for.

Since you couldnt, now explain why LeBron fans are different?

Actually, ive hardly ever seen any rebuttal to the criticism for 2011.

Ways to say you started watching the NBA after Kobe retired.

Kobe and Jordan caught way more heat from the media than Lebron has ever even thought about.

Im talking about now.....

What should people be blaming guys who retired many years ago for now?
They got plenty of blame when they played....

Lol. His fans Googling his losses and making threads about them is hilariously weird.

I don't understand the motive. That Bronze medal was certainly a team effort.

But I'll play -

There's no "I" in Bronze.

This is really embarrassing for someone with 13,000 posts.

Nobody would think this except for trolls who probably don't believe that themselves. Lebronze is just a funny nickname for haters.

It should have been blamed more on Duncan. He was bad in Olympics, it should have been bigger stain on his career.

You either made that up or you've mixed up something. Or you saw one post-2015-NBA-fan trolling and you turned it into a hyperbole.

I forgot Duncan was on this team. For being of the greats, I don't remember him on any of the US teams to be honest

LeBron was actually really good in the limited minutes he played that summer.

draftnightsuit wrote:He was 19 years old, the youngest player on the team. The captains were Iverson and Duncan. Lebron was a rookie. That wasn’t his team, his era, or his failure.

2004 was the culmination of the Iverson, Vince, Marbury, Steve Francis era: the rise of selfish iso ball, decline of basic fundamentals, apathy towards coaches and teamwork.

That was a thing in the NBA way before Lebron got to the league, and eventually improved with the new generation. BTW, the Redeem Team is arguably better than the Dream Team.

Only Kobe fans make that argument. They follow it with the idea that Kobe saved them in 2008, even though that was fully LeBron's team.

I thought most of the blame was on 2006, not 2004.
