Lebron James Approval Rating | Page 12

Youngone · 2011-05-25T14:00:02-07:00

Just wondering what everyone thinks. Edit: There is middle ground here now. You either like him or hate him. I personally hate the guy but I wonder what the public opinion is of him now. So zoner poll....

I don't care that you don't like him for being on an opposing team. But when you tell me about personal feelings about a player like you know him from a gossip magazine I think it is funny.

Do you read corny women's magazines like star and people for your fuel against Lebron? Just curious

Yeah I know, disliking people because of who they are and what they actually do outside of their sport is totally retarded. OJ simpson is my hero and I hope every little kid wants to be like Mike Vick when they grow up.

GO HEAT!

Containing the Heat hasn't been a problem for anyone this postseason on the offensive end. It's scoring on the Heat that's been incredibly difficult.

Last time I checked defense is part of the game...

Fascinating observation.

You always talk about it like it doesn't matter. Well it does. Especially in the playoffs. If you want to win try it sometime.

lol last time I checked his team tried to play defense in the last 2 NBA seasons, and like 16 times total. Not really sure he is the person to give advice to about winning in the NBA...

btw Not sure how what Miami did to Chicago translates to the Mavs. I mean Dallas has way better ball movement than Chicago did, an even better scorer, like 6 or 7 really good shooters, 2 really good defensive centers, and some good perimeter defenders like Stevenson and Marion.

I wonder if it has anything to do with facing two of the best defensive teams in the playoffs.

It's obvious Lebron and possibly the team coasts it for 3 quarters and then turn on the switch.

It's good to have that on off switch. It's the luxury you have when you have the best player. Same thing with Jordan and the Bulls. And to some extent Pippen with the Bulls too.

Lebron/Jordan

Wade/Pippen

Lebron/Jordan

And Kobe/Shaq.

You gotta give that talent credit SD.

I used to not like him, but now I'm on the fence. Ever since Dan Gilbert's classless comments and cleveland fans showing how pathetic they are, I've been pulling for him to get a ring just to shove it in their faces.

What does it matter if he did it on TV? He doesn't belong to them, and if he wanted to do that, it was his own right to. It's not his problem that people got butt hurt over it, and Dan Gilbert came off as far more classless with his idiotic comments. That said, I'm not saying James is a saint either, because like I wrote, I didn't like him before since he came off as selfish prick. Still, he didn't join the Axis Powers, but just wanted to play with a better group of guys on a different basketball team. So yes I hope he wins it and drives his haters to tears.

Nobody is debating the fact that he had the freedom to sign with Miami, but come on, he knows how much he means to that city and it is basically his hometown, and to lead them on and humiliate them on TV was pretty lame.

It was just unnecessary, that is all.

Was it necessary? No, I agree. Did he trash talk the city and the owner though? No he did not. So I think those people who are trash talking him and acting like he owed anything to Cleveland come off as far more childish.
