Well right now, it would have to be Melo. He'll never get a rjng though because he always has an excuse, he just needs to shut up and play.

I was saying it's stupid because it's too early for that. Lebron went to the finals twice with two different teams and lost, and that's what really started the "no ring" slander. However, I'm all for the Durant "no ring" slander. It should have started a month ago.

This is true. SD media is kool-aid. National media doesn't go easy on the Chargers though..

It's dumb because Durant and guys like Melo never guaranteed anything or fell into the media hype, calling themselves King or Chosen 1, etc.....they are just regular players. Melo will only feel pressure from NYers because the fans are hungry, but anybody who comes here will feel pressure only if they do not perform.
People are trying to force the issue now, Lebron brought it onto himself so the pressure was that much greater.

He should have never let people put that "King" and "Chosen one" label on him.

Yea... it's totally other people that put that on him. It's not like he has a "Chosen One" or crown tattoos.

So I guess the SI cover saying he was the chosen one (before the tattoo) and the Nike "King" marketing once he inked the Nike deal never happened then.
You right.

Yea. Then he 'had' to get the tattoos. Pretty much cuz the people made him.
Sure, the media and public may have just opened the door by calling him King and Chosen One, but Lebron didn't just 'let' them do that - he accepted it and embraced it. It does not matter which came first, he perpetuated it to the fullest. Not only with the ink, but with antics like "Decision" and the guarantees.

Uhhhh, I guess there is a difference between letting someone do something and accepting it. But w/e, don't really matter

It seems like Skip really doesn't have anything to say, and he's legitimately trolling now, cause what he says about Lebron now
is just irrelevant and obvious stuff.

My disdain for LBJ developed when he 1st came into the league and people started calling him the greatest to ever play and MJ had just hung the sneakers up for good. I felt by people anointing LBJ the greatest that soon bascically crapped on MJ's career. Lebron totally feed into that and became arrogant and entitled. Him falling short in the past was vindicatiion.

So it's cool for the media to partake in said antics but not LeBron himself?
Take today for instance, ESPN held a special on LeBron James' first ring hosted by Stephan A. Smith & Skip Bayless. These are the two guys who been heavily vocal about LeBron's decision yet they are hosting their own LeBron centered special. But LeBron can't host one himself? He's selfish and such if he does. Can't let people profit off of you.
