Yahoo NBA's LBJ hateration (TM Mary J. Blige) notwithstanding, this is a very good, well-researched article. It's up there with the piece Brian Windhorst (Cleveland Plain Dealer) wrote the day following "The Decision".Originally Posted by RaininThrees

Re: Bruce Bowen called out LeBron James @ 2006 Olympic Team practices
Bowen is an example of someone who didn't have a lot of talent but worked hard. I remember he once said that kids just need to find that one thing (a niche) that they can excel at and work hard at it.
He hung his hat on defense, studied tape, was an iron man (500 consecutive games until that bs suspension for "kicking" Chris Paul), led the league in 3 pt shooting % one year (even though he's not a natural shooter) and was an integral part of 3 championships. Should be an inspiration to kids but of course, all they see is the flash and dunks.
Must have been frustrating for him to see how easy things came for Lebron and the lack of (Lebron's) appreciation when he had to struggle so much for everything (undrafted/played all over the world). His comment probably led to him not being invited for the team.

He may be a good character guy if you're on his team but he was a dirty AF player on the floor. Originally Posted by monkeypox

I was actually thinking about this exact topic a few days ago when I made a thread about Anthony Davis and the basketball Triple Crown.
Weird.

Apparently Coach K and the staff had to talk to him back in 2006. He was being a LeDiva and even with all his talent was on the verge of being kicked off the Team USA roster. Kobe made everyone fall in line the next summer though.
