ESPN Rick Reiley: LeBron being LeBron

[KenneBell]

Nope. He's getting about what he deserves. Had he won last year and won this year he'd be getting the same in praise.

"To the victor go the spoils"

In the long run, no one cares about what you do off court, or what kind of role model you are to their children...do you win or not? Bottom line. Jordan, Kobe, Kareem...all assholes. Would I dare omit them from my team or question their will to win? Never.

ISH, where promising to win basketball games and failing is worse than rape.

Do you really think Kobe raped that girl, or are you just trolling?

And comments like this fail to really drive home a relevant point, same as this article.

ESPN should fire this guy.

100% agreed.

Who raped someone?

Easy for you to type that but who knows how people react. They could very well give the praise/attention elsewhere like Wade "he's the closer, its his team" along with "Bron needed to join hands to win rings, never did it on his own". So while I claim I dont know how things would actually be had he won 2 rings? Lets not ignore the possibility that he would have still be criticized. Much like he was for even taking his talents to South Beach and how it affects his "legacy".

"Punched a walking stick"

You're quoting a story where the writer couldn't even work out fact from fiction.

i really laughed at the part where he said Jordan and Kobe are admired for basically being jerks. "omgzors they are so passionate, they will their teams to wins with their jerkness! fap, fap, fap!" while Lebron is crucified for being the ultimate team guy.

just shows you a reflection of our society. really fkd up.

Except that Kobe was never convicted of rape, but whatever. Who needs courts, lets just lynch people.

I agree that the Lebron hate it out of control, but Rick Reilly is a god awful writer.

Honestly reading his stuff makes my head hurt its so bad. Not to mention he is devoid of any sense of humor. Rick Reilly is the very definition of bottom of the barrel lowest common denominator appeal. Guy is a hack writer.

People still defending this quitter after this comment?

Everything Lebron does is 10 times more exaggerated. Its a pity, people are so cynical.

"Kyrie Irving will be a bust"

Should we hate on you for that comment?
