...mind-bogglingly ridiculous. what an uber-douche.

From world famous photographer Walter Ioos Jr.

We rented the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, where the Lakers and the Clippers used to play, and there were 53 people on my crew-including hair and makeup artists, production people, a stylist. I had $10,000 in Hollywood lighting. It was huge. When LeBron arrived, it was as if Nelson Mandela had come in. Six or seven blacked-out Escalades pulled up, a convoy. LeBron had bodyguards and his masseuse. His deejay was already there, blasting. This for a photo shoot that was going to last an hour, tops.

This is how crazy it was: I wasn't even allowed to talk directly to LeBron. There was a liaison, someone from Amar'e Stoudemire's family. I would say to him, "O.K., have LeBron drive right," and then he'd turn to LeBron and say, "LeBron, go right."

LeBron had guards in the portals on the mezzanine level, talking into their hands. Really, what was going to happen? And then at the end of the shoot they all got in the Escalades. My God, I've been around Michael Jordan, but with him nothing even came close to this. Unimaginable.

Now the decision all seems to make sense.

Chosen1 :roll:

Really?

No one is saying he sucks (except for his own d!ck), but you're just gonna overlook this ridiculous display of ego? Brush it under the rug? Fkn hell, POTUS doesn't even do that. Won't talk to directly to people. That's some narcissistic, egotistical bullsh*t.

Quit acting like Lebron is the only athlete to ever have a Big Ego.
Jordan had a huge Ego and Kobe has the biggest Ego the world has ever seen and you rarely if ever see people bitching about it.

How is complaining about it gonna help anything? Does it make you feel better to say : hey look lebron was being an Egotistical Jerk.

Do you really think your gonna convert people who like him over to your side or worsen the hate of the people who already dislike him?

The truth is the only people who dislike Lebron are Kobe/Laker Fans or Cleveland People and 99% of the other people either appreciate his game or just ignore him entirely.

This is worse then if he raped me!

Same could be said about Lebron fans when it comes to Kobe, so I really wouldn't bring that up if I were you:facepalm

Naw.. Kobe has haters around the world.

Due to his arrogance and lack of appreciation for things he has received.

Also certain people hate him for raping that girl but I am not one of them.

Honestly Lebron doesn't have 1/100th of the Pure Arrogance that reeks from Kobe's skin although its obvious he has a big Ego also.

Arrogance bothers me more then having a big Ego although I suppose the two go hand in hand in some ways.

Yeah cuz Lebron just screams humility by talking about himself in the third person like he's supposed to be The Rock or something.....right?!:wtf:

Like I just previously said NON BASKETBALL RELATED REHASHED HOT GARBAGE.:rolleyes:

Oh, and by the way, if arrogance bothered you that much, then you really wouldn't be a Lebron fan. It's either that, or you truly have no clue what the word really means, and it can't be both.:no:

Dude get off his nuts.

Who cares what Lebron does he is a damn basketball player and he is getting paid if you hate or love him.

The people who appreciate his game will continue to enjoy watching him and the ones who hate him for his personality or things that dont effect the average person will continue to hate him and pretend he sucks.

:facepalm

He is already arguably one of the 5 or 6 best players of this generation and the 3rd best Guard/Wing player after Jordan and Wade.

off his nuts? stfu clown, it is an interesting story, if you caught feelings I am sorry, next time I will flag it so your delicate sensibilities won't be harmed.

And if you ever call me a Kobe or Laker fan again I will reach through your f*cking laptop, rip off your balls and jam them down your throat.

Like the 10 gazillion and 1 threads about how Kobe raped some girl(who ONLY Lebron fans remember and CONSTANTLY have to talk about even though this was over 8 years ago) had something to do with basketball:facepalm
True but the kobe haters don't really stay up to date with everything he does off court like the lebron haters do. Kobe haters bringing up the rape incident is similar to the lebron and Delonte west incident. They get brought up but not as frequent. Kobe haters use the rape thing as that's the only thing they can use against kobe. With lebron there is loads more, that's mainly lebron's fault but things like this are just meaningless and is cherry picking.

no, that is bullshit. it is an interesting story about the biggest player in the game and his over-inflated ego, an ego that has come into question before and has been the center of many of his poorer decisions, like 'The Decision'.

Not everything about LeBron or Kobe is started by one camp to harm the other, I like LeBron a lot more than Kobe when push comes to shove (I am the OP BTW) but stories like this just make me cringe. Especially after someone has had a truly tragic and humbling 12 months.

it is interesting, and if your rooting interests fall on one side of the fence that may not be as cushy, then hard f*cking cheese.

Y'all really need to get over yourselves and that b.s. Laker/Kobe fans could care less about that crap with Lebron's mom and all that that cuz we ACTUALLY know something about basketball and know how to have a strictly basketball conversation. Y'all Lebron fans are the ones who ALWAYS have to bring up some off the court bs. or bring up one of Kobe's fault the minute somebody says something bad about Lebron, so stop tryna act. Like doing all that is SOMEHOW gonna make him develop a post game.:rolleyes:

I wasn't trying to convert anyone, just responding to you. You think you're converting anyone saying get off LeBron's nuts or any of the other arguments you have? Not a Laker, Kobe, or Cleveland fan, and I know a sh*tload of people who dislike LeBron because of the crap he's pulled (see: The Decision, tweets about people's boring lives, liaison go-betweens, etc.). I guess you didn't notice the Raptors logo as my avatar? Observant you are not.

Also, when has MJ or Kobe ever made someone talk through a liaison when they were in the same room as the person they're supposed to be interacting with. That's just ridiculous.

I am sure Kobe has refused to speak to people countless times. He may have also spoken to people through a liaison who knows?
I see no difference between the two honestly.

There are some really sensitive people on these forums. Its quite sad really, how in today's world of sports people will focus more on what players do off the court rather than the amazing things they do on court. Look sensitive females, the point I was making was that things lebron does off court get way more attention compared to kobe or any superstar for that matter. Instead of separating the two people will allow themselves to lose sleep over what a player does in their spare time. My question is how does this affect you?

AGAIN, with the PREDICTABLE reverse psychology bit:rolleyes:

The only "sensitive females' on ANY sports forum are you Lebron fans who AUTOMATICALLY start cryin' the minute somebody says something bad about Lebron, so again, stop tryna act. The minute somebody says "Lebron needs a post game to be deadly in the post. Instead of a basketball response, we usually get "oh....Kobe's old and needs to retire," like that has anything to do with anything.

It's NOT the other way around no matter how you try and spin it.

Kobe is arrogant.. I said it and I believe it and thats why I never liked him as a person.

But I keep it to myself and I am not making topics to talk about it.

I dont use that to degrade his game on the court though.
I respect his greatness as a basketball player and wont do stupid things like disregarding his legacy or his place on GOAT lists because of how I perceive him as a person.

Yea.. and even the most casual fan knows it.

Thats why this whole topic is so dumb and pointless.

It's like making a topic : I looked up today and saw clouds in the sky, isnt it funny how clouds always block the sun and create shade.

Derrrrrrrrrp.

An athlete would not need that kind of protection unless... yes you are right unless he knew he was hated by everyone.

It's like watching Lady Gaga fans argue with Britney Spears fans. Too comical.

I wonder how common it is for Iooss to come in contact with situations like that. He makes it sound unique, but I'm betting he's come across some weird things involving athletes. Either way, it's an interesting anecdote. I mean, it has to be a little weird to be running a photo shoot and having to go through an interpreter. I wonder if that's how Mike Brown had to coach LeBron during his last years in Cleveland.

"LeBron, you gotta come hard off that screen!"

~Silence~

"Mo! Tell LeBron he's gotta pop up off that screen!"

"LeBron, Coach Mike Brown has a message for you. Do you accept?"

"Nope."

I really don't see what the problem is.

This "incident" in the article is coming RIGHT AFTER "The Decision" which was the peak of his notoriety from....THE MEDIA.

Of course after being vilified, in his mind I'm sure he wouldn't want to speak to any media heads at that time.

He probably just wanted to be left alone considering the guy was receiving death threats and sh*t just cause he left a team as a FA (though it coulda been done way differently).

Can't blame him for that.

Except he'd dealt with that photographer several times in the past and he's pretty much one of the greatest photographers of all-time. It's not like he's going to take a photo of LeBron on his cell phone and email it to TMZ.

Bottom line, LeBron's a douche. He's still a great player, even if he did have one of the worst NBA Finals for a superstar ever and has zero self-awareness. He's a douche. End of story.

P.S. LeBron fans are starting to make Kobe fans look good, I thought this was an impossible task. Then again, I also though Jason Terry outscoring LeBron in an NBA Finals series was impossible too.

If his ones of the greatest photographers of all time why did he feel the need to bitch like a little girl....

How it it bitching when the story he's telling is from a career retrospective for the latest issue of Sports Illustrated? Do you think he just randomly blogged about this for no reason? In the article he lists all his experiences with athletes he's photographed.

The whole article is here, not that you'll read it - http://tinyurl.com/dy8v9ms

Exactly.

I'm a rep you on that one.

The guy comes off like he's casting stones at LeBron (who had already brought on the self-inflicted "hate") but I mean damn...

He's a photographer w/ an "illustrious" 50 yr career (according to the article) so we are talking about a grown man here who is complaining about a 25-26yr old immature man.

On top of that it's business, it's not like they're friends til the end.

It's a guy who took LeBron's pics.

But you know it's true as soon as I mentioned Kobe you guys swarmed in for the attack. It's Ok bro, Kobe is just a basketball player like every other in the league don't get worked up on what others say about the dude.

Don't respond to LakersReign dude....he's an obvious troll looking for someone to love him...He literally would follow me everywhere i'd go in these forums talking about Lebron, even when no one was talking about Lebron....He's simply a Kobe homer in fear of Lebron's potential.

...mind-bogglingly ridiculous. what an uber-douche.

From world famous photographer Walter Ioos Jr.

Now the decision all seems to make sense.

Overboard? Yes. But, when you have people telling you that you're a king your whole life, what do you expect?

The dude has never had much adversity to overcome. When he was young he was poor, but everyone saw how gifted he was so he was getting hand outs his whole life.

Doesn't surprise me at all. I doubt the guy knows how to balance a check book, call customer service, or anything like that.

Yo you guys are mad gay, if I was LeBron I would have 8 liaisons numbered 1 through 8 and no liaison would be allowed to talk to a liaison that is more than one number away from him, and people would only be able to talk to liaison number 1 and only liaison number 8 could talk to me, lebron. So if a person wants to communicate to me, they would have to talk to the first liaison, and that liaison would tell it to liaison #2 and then he would talk to liaison #3 and etc.. until it gets to me. That shit would be ill yo

liaison
I wish I had that too. Everything will be lost in translation I'd be surprised I'd get what I wanted. :D

youre like one of the bitches who pretends she doesnt care about her man having a new girlfriends but inside you're crying deeply and puttin up facebook messages like 'im thru wid diss. cant trust nobody'.

go gargle a bag of dikks. no one cares what you think.

Says Lebron's bitch. I at least make it obvious that I hate him.

You call others "Lebron fans" without admitting you're one of his biggest co*cksuckers.

i give two shits about lebron. im not a heat fan, never was, never will be. not a cavs fan or former supporter of him either.

this forum lacks the creative juices to post about anything other than one or the other.
