Q: Has there ever been someone as beloved as LeBron who managed to totally destroy his/her image without being part of a sex scandal (Tiger) or engaging in some illegal/banned activity (Bonds)?
-- Michael L., Edmonton

SG: Nope. Never. But you just described why LeBron can (and will) come back: He didn't do anything other than handle a situation poorly. By mid-January, if Miami is 32-3 and LeBron is averaging a 27-10-12, you think anyone will care outside of Ohio that his team of advisors walked him into a whacking like he was Tommy getting made in "Goodfellas"?

You know who predicted the brief fall of LeBron? Allen Iverson! FIVE YEARS AGO! Remember his compelling interview that launched "Quite Frankly with Stephen A Smith," and unfortunately, turned out to be the highlight of that show? At the 33-minute mark of this clip, Stephen A. asked about LeBron and here's what Iverson said:

"I always let LeBron know, 'Dawg, they love you right now, they love you right now, but please believe me, the first incident, the first time something happens, they are waiting, man ... just like, I hate to bring it up, but the other situation with Kobe. All this time he's the No. 1 man, the perfect man in everyone's heart. He's the No. 1 man ... all I know is, you are you. You are who you are, man. Don't try to act like somebody else. And I'm not saying Kobe acted like that, Kobe Bryant is who he is, dog, but these people want him to be the Kobe Bryant that they want him to be. And it ain't right."

That was the real issue last summer: We wanted LeBron to be who we wanted him to be. And you know what he was? A 25-year-old guy who wanted to live in Miami, play with his buddies, get some help and find the easiest way possible to win a championship. He knew Cleveland fans would feel betrayed, but his advisors convinced him that if he gave $3 million in proceeds from his contrived TV special to charity, it would soften the blow. They were wrong. We took it personally. And as a basketball fan, it continues to be hard for me to accept that someone who had a chance to be the GOAT took the easy way out. And yet ... it's only hard because LeBron didn't act like the LeBron I wanted him to be. Who knew that Allen Iverson was Confucius?
