Seriously, how come LeBron is suddenly more hated than Kobe EVER was?

[theremedy360]

LeBron was never as hated as Kobe was. Being called a douche, egomaniac, etc, is nothing compared to being called a rapist.

LeBron is booed like a rapist in every arena on the road..

Cavs officials are seriously concerned about his safety when the Heat are visiting Cleveland. Security measures are at an all-time high, even hateful t-shirts are banned for that game.

That's cause he shat all over his home state. Not saying he didn't have the right to leave but he made a complete ass out himself the way he did it. I still don't think he's as hated as Kobe was. I went to a Sonics the same year Kobe got accused and the crowd was fuckin ruthless yelling all kinds of crazy shit at him. Hell, he still gets booed every time he touches the ball at a number of places.

Lebron had a complete team built around him, its funny a cavs team with lebron for damn sure wouldnt of had this many losses early.



they aquired a nice PF in jamison and had a high energy pf in varaejo, had a shooting point guard (so he can run the offense) athletic wing men, and solid centers and  a pretty young and deep bench, and a 3 pt specialist.


like i said before the heats team is basically trash theres almost no strategy or a build up plan when they made that team, they just got the cheapest guys they can sign possible.

That's because they are learning to play together. You're nuts if you don't think the Heat will play better as the season goes on.

LeBron would have one of the best records in Cleveland, no doubt, because his offense was "give me the ball", now he has to work with this new one.

But no, a "complete team" is a ridiculous statement. Kobe has a complete team around him. He can shoot under 30% in a Finals game & still win it by double digits lol. LeBron shot like that 21 times last year & they lost all those games lol.

When Kobe can go from scoring 34 a game to scoring 24 a game & be twice as successful, that only happens because you have that "complete team", otherwise logically, Kobe averaging 10 less point a game & winning Finals is physically impossible lol.

When Kobe was hated, many said it was just the media.  Truth was dude was arrogant, caught a rape charge (deserved or not), and was tryin to hard to be MJ.  But the media didn't help........


Lebron?  He bailed on his team, isn't winning, isn't playing that great, and keeps saying some stupid shit.  The media aren't helping...



BOttom line, dude's arrogance is shining through.  Once he starts winning, he'll be fine.  Having said that, as I said since the beginning, the Heat's lineup is wack compared to Lakers or Celtics

First of all, Lebron crowned himself The King with no basis, while Kobe is the best player in the world. 2nd of all, LeBron is a douchebag. Third of all, make a topic like this when LeBron loses all his sponsors and has to completely re-work his image to get superstar credit in the league...PeACe

To everyone questioning why LeBron is so hated... do you guys not remember the "The Decision" topic at this very forum? That topic answered all of your questions for you. When he announced he was going to publicly state which team he was going to play for on national television, everybody who thought LeBron was going to leave Cleveland, no longer thought that he would anymore. Every single poster in that topic, myself included, thought that there was no way in hell he would be stupid enough to draw even more attention to himself just so he could ditch his home state and join Dwyane Wade's team, especially after he had countless quotes talking about how he could never leave Cleveland until he "brings home a championship." We all assumed that if someone were to do something like that, he would do it discreetly and with class, not on national fucking television like a douchebag. No way would he want to get himself involved in this PR nightmare, right? And what do you know... he actually does it. They even acknowledge how stupid of a move that was in his own commercials.

I personally don't hate him for it. I thought the backlash he drew was entertaining as fuck, and while I do feel sympathy for Cleveland, the way everyone in Cleveland reacted made me crack up. But if you can't see why people hate LeBron at this point, whether or not you hate him yourself, then you are seriously turning a blind eye.

its because lebron did a classless act with his "decision" and turning his back on the cavaliers.

It wasn't the choice of the decision, it was the events leading up to it.

Someone was feeding him bad advice; athletes never do anything off the court/field on their own accord. Somebody said you can get millions of views, do this show, draw this out & he went to NBA devil.

Obviously he listened to shitty advice, but the bottomline is he still went out and did it. Dude is 26 years old, he's responsible for his own damn decisions.

excellent analysis.

Yeah I completely forgot about the lost endorsements. Nike made a commercial for LeBron about his current situation lol

To me its a different kind of hate. To me, Kobe was hated because he came across as fucking up that great Laker team because of his massive ego. Seemed like he would rather score 80 than get a ring. A spoiled brat and came across as a phony. Anyone w half a brain knew he didn't rape that broad, but that was great ammo to shit on him even more.

Lebron also seemed like a massive douche, saying his goal was to become a global icon. But him doing "the decision" was a way bigger douche move than Kobe has ever done. Say what you want, but Kobe was loyal to LA. And even if he did leave, I don't think he would have shit on the LA fans by doing a 3 hour special about that decision. I mean Lebron was in the place that he was born and raised, and he punked all those people that literally worshipped him.

I don't give a fuck about Lebron changing teams, that's free agency. But to do it the way he did was sinister lol.

I don't know, I def despised Kobe for a while. But he was fun to hate. A good villain. Lebron just seems like a pretentious asshole and he hasn't won shit to back it up. I'm kinda glad what's his face banged his moms.

^Pretty on point, other than the fact that Kobe was nowhere near breaking up any great Laker teams (he was more like the main component of those great Laker teams), and Kobe was ALWAYS all about winning and collecting rings...other than that, you made some good points. PeACe

scottie pippen was like jordan' sidekick, so that's what they calling him, he went to miami to become wade's sidekick, it ain't looking like it by now though . I wouldn't care though because pippen's an all time great and without him jordan wouldn't win those rings.
