It is sort of like Lebron had scripted a compassionate response in his head but came off pouting, because he's always faking a script he doesn't believe. I just don't think he's ever lived in this land most call "reality" and hasn't a clue why we don't get it and all love him--but this is a guy who was calling himself "King James" when he was 16, so it's no surprise. He's basically a sociopath because those surrounding him just fuel his ego and don't mold him or point out his errors and flaws.<br /><br />And it would be a great story for him to find redemption. How? Spend the summer helping disaster victims or working with orphans instead of jetsetting to Las Vegas for drunken orgies. And practice hard to improve instead of coasting on potential and talent. I just think at this point he just wants to be a celebrity without earning it--a Kardashian in sneakers. <br /><br />ScottAuthor Scott Nicholsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778999586794284457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129835172717195873.post-12476095862672330912011-06-13T14:02:58.129-07:002011-06-13T14:02:58.129-07:00Nice sentiments Scott.

I saw a sound bite (is there any other kind of information on TV?) where he answered a question about people rooting for him to lose. Though his answer could be up to interpretation, I took his response to mean (paraphrasing) "for people who cheer for bad things to happen to others, even when they get their wish, they still have to wake up the next day and be the same person. Therefore they will always be unhappy." Whereas LeBron, presumably as non-negative cheerer, is very happy with who he is today, tomorrow, etc. <br /><br />I thought that was a pretty cool thing to say.<br /><br />But then they cut to Miami Sportscaster to give an authoritative opinion. He informed me that LeBron had just said (paraphrasing) "I'm rich. You will still not be rich in the morning. So f*** off."<br /><br />I thought, wow, I suddenly feel like I need to take a shower. I also thought that the segment revealed more about the Miami Sportscaster than it did LeBron James. <br /><br />Anyway, I hope you're right and people can eventually find a way to hope he wins instead of the opposite.Sharper13xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275818335558623630noreply@blogger.com
