[SpastikMooss]

Not sure this has been done yet...I'm curious where the bulk of the forum lies in this discussion. So vote and let us know!

I respect Lebrons Talent, but i just dislike the HEAT as a team. I hope they make it to the finals 10 straight times and lose every series in game 7 on a Half court buzzer beater shot in Miami.:D:)!

Other - I'm a Spurs' fan.

If the Spurs were not playing I have no problem with the Heat winning it all.

Lol there's an option for that - it's right above other.

Oops.

Too many choices, I got lost after the first couple.

I change my vote to that option.

I don't get all the Lebron hate, sure he left his team to chase a championship, but other than that he seems like a pretty nice guy. I hate the Heat, but not because of Lebron, i hate the heat because of wade, he comes off as a huge D bag.

[lambeauleap87]

I dislike LeBron for plenty of reasons, I'm pulling for the Thunder because I'm a big Durant fan, but I ended up voting no because I dislike the Heat.

[BostonNut]

Other - I don't dislike the Heat or LeBron's talent....I dislike his arrogance and immaturity.

[tamtalizied]

I will be praying to the basketball god that LeBron James will become the BEST basketball player EVER to NOT win a championship =)

Don't forget the @KingJames Twitter handle and nickname.

Even though he didn't win titles I had no problems with LeBron before he joined the Heat. He was a fantastic player, but you just didn't see what you're seeing now.

Sure, some could argue that with all the backlash of course he's going to respond but doesn't that show his immaturity when he says stuff like "I'm taking names of all those who wrong me" and stuff like that?

If my team (Spurs) were out of the playoffs, Id have no issue with them winning it all.

Jordan didnt win his first ring till he was 27, right?

[nuccionino]

No, I hate LeBron.

Not actually hate but I cannot stand him. The decision was stupid. He basically ran the Cavs and then bolted leaving all the players he wanted there. Making fun of Dirk when he was sick (who got the last laugh). Not 4, not 5, not 6... I mean win one. We all have as many NBA titles as LeBron is what I always say.

I dislike the Heat because of Lebron and Wade. They are two of the more arrogant and immature players in the league. I would rather see Kobe win another title and my dislike for him is quite high also.

[Celtsfan33]

I Despise LeBron, Not because of just HIM but I see him as one of the most disrespectful players out there. If you remember, when Dirk injured his finger in the finals, he and DWade made fun of him on their way to practice. Also, when they are down 27 and he gets a dunk he celebrates WAY too much.... Just ridiculous
Oh, I also hate DWade and he sat on Rondo to dislocate his shoulder and broke Kobe's nose... Don't try to tell me hat BREAKING SOMEONES NOSE at the ALL STAR GAME where nobody tries by wrapping your hands around their face is an honest mistake.

Gotta win your rings with grace...

[murrke03]

haha haters...

besides 'the decision'... a lot of the reasons people don't like lebron is character traits that half the league have...

I mean I'm a Celts fan, and so I don't like Kobe. But Kobe has a level of respect, at least lately, that I've noticed on the court and in interviews. I'm not saying he has always been legit and that it applies outside of basketball, but you feel he respects others and the game.

Lebron...it comes and goes. I generally assume he respects the game...but often times I don't think he respects other players...or his fans...and that's just awful.

Thank you! Finally, another sane person on these boards! :devil:

And to battle this...I'm not saying other guys don't have these traits. But few of these "other guys" are on as high a pedestal as Lebron. Does Durant inspire this much hate? Has KG ever screwed over an entire fan base? Does CP3 run around calling himself the King? You can be dominant and aggressive and not alienate yourself from other players/fans.

[sesmarine04]

wow, look at lebron pulling a ron artest. What a joke.

One of his biggest acts of disrespect to the game was when he switched to #6 so he could "honor Michael Jordan" by not wearing #23. So he changes to #6, which, if not for his Jordan reasoning, I would have no issue with. But instead he chooses to disrespect the great Bill Russell and Julius Erving.

[Celtsfan33]

Am I alone with my opinions on DWade?

I don't have as much as an opinion on him...but I'll ponder Mr. Wade haha. All I know right now is he isn't doing very much tonight!

True, there are a lot of tools, thugs, and crybabies in the league. However, they aren't shoved down our throats like Lebron is constantly.
