Ok, so if the Cavs get taken out (personally hoping for a dramatic ending), will anyone reconsider their dislike/hate of Lebron? We've basically seen the guy dropped to his knees in finals after finals. He's no longer a threat to MJ and likely only has 1-2 years left as the Lebron we've seen for over a decade. Can you now cheer a little or at least become somewhat indifferent to him possibly bringing Cleveland their first title in ~50 years? Love or hate him, I think it's been a fun ride pulling for/against him for 13 years. I don't know if any other player is ready to take that love/hate role - I would say Curry, but he's way to nice to hate.
Poor, poor Lebron!
He only has two rings! And he's only had seven opportunities to win one!
Tame is Duncan and Nowitzki. Lebron is arrogant because he's been told his whole life he's the greatest and he believes it.
I said tamest superstar. Duncan and Nowitzki aren't superstars. And before you jump on me, being a superstar has nothing to do with how good a player you are. I actually would take Duncan circa 2003 over any version of LeBron. Being a superstar means being marketed heavily and treated as the bell cow of the league. When you consider how much LeBron has been told he is the greatest, it's quite amazing he isn't far more arrogant. Like I said, he's not near as arrogant as Jordan or Kobe. Hell, even guys like Iverson and KG were far more arrogant than him.
Ugh, you guys are making me look like a LeBron fan.
I wouldn't call James arrogant as much as entitled. This week's dust-up proves it (though likely it was a ploy to get Green suspended). Dude cries to the refs every time a call goes against him, even when he steps out of bounds. He's quickly turning into a one-man version of the Clippers

Lebron's a chump, not a champ. I think he baited Green knowing he would retaliate and maybe get kicked out of game 5, and Green fell for it.
A real champion wants to beat a team at their best. Not to try to get rid of one of their best player so they can hopefully win. I also feel they might want to hurt Curry so he can't play. That is there only way of winning this series.
I also think Lebron might leave Cleveland again because 2 rings is not enough to make him one of the best ever. So he will go somewhere where his chances are better to winning a ring. Maybe collude with a few players like he did the last time when he got his rings in Miami.
With all that said, I still think Golden State will win game 5.

I'll take Michael and Kobe's brand of arrogance. At least those guys were upfront about who they are. LeBron tries to pretend to be something other than what he is. Kobe and Michael are jerks. But they will be the first to tell you they are jerks. LeBron wants to pretend he isn't a jerk all the while doing what jerks do.
I don't get this "LeBron is so arrogant" thing. I've heard it on these boards but also at bars. Why does he get singled out? Serious question. And why does that personally offend so many people especially in pro sports?
Remember when Kobe raped that lady? Yeah, I'll take LeBron's "arrogance" over criminal activity. And Michael Jordan is a grade A d bag.
