Personally, I'd have repped home. It's who I am. That's what I do lyrically. So nah, I can't condone His Royal Quitness. pulling a $!+$* move and leaving a whole state in awe like that. It was selfish and he failed. And when he failed, rather than take PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY for once in his privileged basketball life, this time it was God's fault he didn't win according to his tweets.
. What a vag. I love it
Where do I start. Repping home as an individual artist vs. repping home in a team sport that he didn't feel he could win a ring with. How can you even make such an unrelated comparison?
Selfish? Oh yea because he wants to win a ring makes him selfish? What type of argument is that dude?
So the b*tch move is leaving? Why? Who makes those rules? I could see if you said HOW he left, yes, tasteless. But leaving makes him a b*tch? Really?
All I can say is what I would have done after a comment like, "If you were in his shoes you would do the same thing: ". Right? So I drew on what I know and what my integrity falls under. I see the parallels. Maybe you don't. Maybe we don't all wear the same shoe size or brand. Cool... but EYE never said we did.
Next point, I feel Lebron is selfish in that time and time again he's shown to be more concerned with his image, his feelings, and his own personal goals than his team's success. When the team needs him to do what's best for the team (and SCORE), he averages 2.2 ppg in the 4th for 5 games straight. It's kinda ironic to say that he's selfish for deferring to teammates in those moments, but follow me. For some time I've felt Lebron forces assists to pad his own line. I could be wrong. I'm aware of that. But isn't it the d-bag thing to do? Would you REALLY be surprised? Some one with his ability should be able to do what their team requires in the moment. Lebron WANTS to be Magic down the stretch when his team NEEDS a Jordan to close games. Now, Lebron IS a new archetype of player that hasn't really been seen yet. So it may sound crazy as all hell that I call him selfish ON the court with the way he plays. But look at similar cases of star players that insisted on playing the game their way, regardless of team success -- A.I. and T-Mac for example. (Then there's Dirk/Kobe's transitions and success stories, by contrast). A.I. wouldn't pass. Mac wouldn't defend. Neither are champs. Lebron may have been forced to close for lack of help in CLE, but I believe his TRUE nature will be to defer to Wade/Bosh in closing moments. He's mentally fragile. And that's just on the court. Off the court, he's more concerned with his finances than his fans. And that's fine too. Whatever.That's his prerogative. But mine, as a fan, is to feel a certain way about players that I don't think are loyal to the people who make them relevant.
Again, I can only speak for myself when a phrase like, "If you were in his shoes you would do the same thing." is used. Correct? So yes I think the WAY he left CLE was weak but I also think his leaving in general was in poor taste. Am I not entitled to my own opinion? I never said any of this was fact. But I do think, in my humble opinion, that leaving behind the place that put you on is disloyal and cowardly. Sue me.
