Knicks · This is another reason I don't like Lebron (missed play last night, game 4 finals) (page 2)

Uptown @ 6/9/2011 11:04 AM
3/4's of the league flops and overexaggerates on fouls calls yet Lebron is singled out. The hate for Lebron is unbelievable. What in the wolr did this kid do to receive so much hate? You said another reason? Whats the others?

Read that. 2 year old to a game. Which prob starts after 8pm, which is def after bed time for someone that old.

What a crock.

I always question how genuine athletes are, with their kids, when they are all cuddly and stuff with them on camera. Of course, I'm sure a good portion of them are very much family men, but come on. Give me a break. You're just showing the world "Hey, I'm a great person. Look how cool I am" when you're all affectionate on camera. Who cares anyway?

Definately a publicity stunt. Or image enhancement. He does this now then when the papparazzi comes he will complain to no end.

i want to say that I read Bosh will get custody of the child some time over the next 2 weeks. Maybe it's just a lawyer's ploy to move up timeline.

Or maybe Bosh is just a dumbass pussy

How can you subtly hit your own wrist loud enough so that everyone hears it without what you're doing being obvious. I can't visualize that happening.

right. I would have to say that it's bogus.

I will agree that the hate is a bit ridiculous but Lebron is an egomaniac, and that turns people off.

LeBron didn't get touched. Not at all. That's why he is being singled out.

And he is one of the best players in the game, so that means every other player will start to emulate, and that is an awful precedent.

Another reason? Did you see or forget about The Decision?

Emulate? Too late for that. You think Lebron made this up all on his own? Flops have been going own in the league before Lebron could walk.

Most of our favorite/Beloved athletes can only wish the decision was the worst PR moves they ever made. Lebron never gets into trouble off the court, no drugs, firearms charges, baby mamma's, baby's out of welock, racist remarks, etc, yet he's one of the most hated athletes because he held a press conference on ESPN (who offered him the platform). Again it was in bad taste, but he was a 25 yr old who wanted to recreate the college recruting atmosphere.

I think a lot of Knick fans are bitter that he didn't come here even though he never promised us anything except for being guilty of sporting Yankee hats and saying the Garden is his favorite place to play. We took it and ran, and bought into this NY is better than every other city nonsense and now we take this "How dare you choose another inferior city over us." I just think the hate is way over the top.

I hope that his mom is not messing with D Wade or some of the other Heat players. Remember Delonte West. She likes studs.

It may concern his girlfriend. Not sure at this point

i guess eViL shows a nice vid of a possible way it could happen. Scoop shot. It's near impossible the other direction, which is about 90% of shots, right?

Prob happened in practice a lot.

Did you ever see it on video during game? If it was so prominent you would think it would be more memorable to all of us.

Who cares. The shit that LeBron and Bosh pulled was awful.

eViL @ 6/9/2011 2:54 PM

skip to the end, Jordan's #1 layup. he does it after already drawing the foul. you prob can't find any vids of him doing it to draw a foul on a missed layup because no one would think to post that on youtube. i wouldn't be surprised if he drew fouls like that. still, what lebron did was even worse. what kobe did was terrible. i agree with everyone that says they should take the acting out of the game. it's hard enough to officiate as is. the players should be fined and eventually suspended for over the top acting.

eViL @ 6/9/2011 3:09 PM
my bad, jordan's #2 layup @ 3:15
NYKBocker @ 6/9/2011 3:28 PM
I have no problem with the acting but then again I am the same player that drives to the basket strong but will shout as if I just got shot everytime.

Dude, the Decision was the worst PR move you could make short of commiting a serious felony like rape or murder. It was poorly planned, badly executed, and just a fundamentally bad idea from the start. So, yes, people will hate on Lebron for disrepecting the fans that paid his salary for seven years. The flopping above is just terrible. We watch basketball to watch basketball, not wrestling. If I wanted to watch a bunch of grown men flying around from fake throws and fakes hits, I would watch WCW. I thought the league imposed a tech system this year for you to get a technical if you flop. What happened with that??
