You really can't be a basketball fan and hate the superstars of our game, Lebron is one of them. I am not a Cavs fan, I have been a Heat fan since I moved from Detroit to South Florida in 1993. I am grateful that Lebron helped bring 2 championships and 4 fun years to the Heat, but I also know that as a fan of basketball how can you hate guys like Lebron, Kobe, Durant, Curry, etc? Nobody sat back in the 90's saying "Charles Barkley is trash" "Patrick Ewing sucks" "Magic Johnson is overrated" this new wave of internet marks that just like to re-read the their posts for self validation is out of hand all of the place. You can say averaging a triple double in the Finals is "stat padding" all you want, but it's never been accomplished, why? Because it's not easy to do. Give credit where it's due.
I'm 31 now, I've been able to watch (and remember) almost all of Jordan's career, I got to watch Shaq, Kobe, Lebron, Garnett, Iverson, etc entire careers. If you're in the same age bracket as me, you're lying to yourself if you don't feel lucky to have watched all of the greats careers.
