		<description><![CDATA[Still Infected...

I don&#039;t pretend to know LBJ. But if you are slightly smarter than a box-of-rocks, you would know, donating a friggin MILLION dollars to charity, when he could have pocketed it and bought another luxury sports car.....is the definition of a selfless act !

Since you can&#039;t comprehend that simple equation, I guess that box- of- rocks has you beat !]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[selfless act?  Wonder how you would know that.
talk Lebron lately?  You know him personally to be selfless and altruistic?

Doesn&#039;t change the fact the that a large part of the country thinks he&#039;s arrogant, self-important, pampered and an entitled athlete...whether its true or not...
It&#039;s clear most South Florida basketball fans live with blinders on and will reach to never before seen depths to defend a player that&#039;s been in town for a measly 3 years.  
btw,  don&#039;t claim to know the first  thing about me and my connections...
You know nothing, trust me on that one.

Hope you feel better with your rant.    Mr. &quot;Confidence&quot;
I&#039;m laughing too, but serious as a heart attack- (perhaps, that&#039;s the phrase you were looking for?)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SO WHAT.....I&#039;m a spoiled bratt right now and I am not a superstar athelete! 

If I come to the McDonalds you work at and you don&#039;t put enough salt on my fries, I will be all in your managers grill and demand you be taken off fries !!!

If I had his millions, I&#039;d probably come back to your fry station and slap you with a couple hundred dollar bills !!!

He&#039;s a good guy, you should appreciate him. But you won&#039;t because it&#039;s gonna be another 3 months before you can be promoted to work the drive thru.

		<description><![CDATA[Infected Dude....A MILLION DOLLARS to charity is still a MILLION DOLLARS to help someone other than himself. A purely selfless act.

The MILLION DOLLARS came from the networks and other people that wanted to profit on his decision. Part of the charity requirement the network and others stipulated, was that he did it publicly. 

Therefore your suggestion, &quot;Charity is best left anonymous&quot; was not an option. 

What players do you have on speed-dial, told you, they rolled their eyes. You have ZERO connections or substantiated evidence to support your mis-truths. 
 
Confidence is often times confused with arrogance. But why is arrogance so bad. I&#039;m not 6&#039;9, 250 lbs, professional athelete, multi-multi millionaire.

But I&#039;m pretty arrogant and confident. If I saw you on the street, you&#039;d get one of my arrogant stares that I don&#039;t want to be bothered with peasants, look !

I can&#039;t imagine my &quot;arrogance&quot; if I had his physical abilities and million dollar sock drawers. 

You should thank the ground he walks on....because you wouldn&#039;t want to deal with me, if I were a super-star athelete, living the life on South Beach. 

Am I better than you.....YEP......would I be better than you, if I had LBJ&#039;s resume.....ABSOLUTELY and I&#039;d make no bones about it!

Deal with your insecurites because I&#039;d make them worse !

ahahahahaha...I&#039;m laughing but serious as a heart beat.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[bougin89....your point is well received. However, the fact that there are only....MAYBE a handfull of &quot;back-to-the-basket&quot; players in the league, LBJ can have some success against most.  

I can think of only one, ole-skool type &quot;back-to-the-basket&quot; player in the league....PERIOD. And that would be Andrew Bynum.

David Sterns NBA has positives and negatives. It has sped up the game, which makes it a full court game. As opposed to each team dribbling to their end and setting up a slower paced half court game. 

The negative is, we may never see dominant big men again, with a full repertoire of back-to-the-basket moves. 

The reason LBJ can have some success against most &quot;centers&quot; , is because most 7&#039;0&quot; guys want to bring the ball up the court, cross-over guys going to the basket or become proficient 3 point shooters....aka Sam Perkins, Dirk Nowitzki type dudes. 

I&#039;m not suggesting their point guard style bad BUT it is significantly different from Olajawon, The Admiral, Shaq, Lambier, Moses Malone, Kareem type &quot;back-to-the-basket&quot; players.....because LBJ definitely would have ZERO success against those &quot;CENTERS&quot;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although I&#039;m not arguing with the overall point of your post I just want to get something out there. Everyone says Lebron guards 1-5 and this is true that he is asked to defend big men sometimes depending on the Heat&#039;s lineup. But he DOES NOT defend true 4 or 5&#039;s well. He does not guard a back-to-the-basket player very well at all. Garnett has been eating him up in this series when he gets switched on him in the post. Overall though I definitely agree Lebron is a much better defender than Kobe and defends PG&#039;s, SG&#039;s, and SF&#039;s better.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[rodge1, your missing the boat on this.

While his charity works are commendable, the problem with the decision is that he made a circus out of it.  Charity is best left anonymous.
And other players in the league were most certainly rolling their collective eyes and the whole fiasco.  Other players who have accomplished far more than him.  
Then he proceeded to follow it up with the smoke show &quot;welcome to Miami&quot; interview claiming they would win So many championships.   That thing that looked more like  Justin Beiber concert than anything else.

I get it, it&#039;s Miami, it glitzy, and sizzle, lights and dry Ice.  But they looked like a bunch of Horses asses to the sensibilities of the majority of the rest of the country.

So you can try to minimize it&#039;s arrogance on this website on this website all you want,  the ship has sailed for most people outside of FLA, and now he needs to win at least 3 Rings before those outside of Miami would accept him..

Me? I could&#039;ve cared less.  it was what it was.  kinda cheesy and over the top, but I can see how it rubbed non-Floridians the wrong way...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[lol good job stealing others words to get thumbs up.

And to answer &quot;your&quot; questions, no he hasnt, because deep down even those who hate LBJ know he is a good person. Extremely arrogant? Yes (Decision, photographer went on record and said LBJ would not talk to anyone directly, 8 ring gurantee, not shaking hands after playoff losses early on). But a bad person? No.

Even with the Decision, Lebron made money off of it, but he also donated money to the Boys &amp; Girls Club. He also hosts a charity event every year that gives bikes to kids in CLE. And from all accounts hes a great father and teammate. Classy stuff. 

But that doesnt mean people cant still dislike the &quot;King&quot;. You dont have to be a criminal or bad person for people to root against you. Its ok to dislike Lebron because you felt like he took the easy way out, or because he is arrogant, or because he is ridiculously good (and doesnt play for your team).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@bougin89
No one is defending the Decision. It was not the best way to announce his plans. But it isn&#039;t as bad as people make it out to be either. Two years later and people are still crying about it so much that they constantly spew ignorant comments about a special player. That is actually much more pathetic. Holding on to hate because of that is much more pathetic. Expressing the unhappiness in your own life by trashing a basketball player is much more pathetic. Would you like more examples?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I knew there would be someone, attempting to lump kobe in the same breath as MJ. 

1. Because the guy has spent his entire life immitating Jordan ( wagging is tongue and other mannerisms), doesn&#039;t put him in Jordans stratosphere

2. kobes shooting percentage/ the ability to shoot well is below 50% (actually below 40%) which suggests he just jacks-up a bunch of ill advised shots and often shoots his team out of games. Where as Jordans Shooting percentage remained above 50% during all 6 of his MVP championships.

3. Jordan has 6 finals MVP&#039;s. kobe has 5 rings but someone else(Shaq) was The Man and won 3 of the finals MVP awards. kobe was his side-kick. Jordan was never nobody&#039;s side-kick. Leaving kobe with only 2. 

4. You can&#039;t lump kobe with MJ if you are just counting rings either. If that&#039;s the case, Robert Horry has 7 rings.

4. LBJ is a more complete player than kobe, ever was (esp since kobe is now obviously on the back-side of his career) and heres why. 
* LBJ already has 3 Season MVP&#039;s (kobe only has one)
* LBJ has been The-Man on every team he has played on. Has gone to Miami and took D-Wades team
* His stats confirm, he is a better rebounder than kobe,
*Better defender because he can guard every position on the floor from point guard to center
*Better at assisting other players/ Team ball (we know kobe aint passing the ball)
*LBJ is a non-criminal, he hasn&#039;t raped anyone
* He is a better MAN because he hasn&#039;t snitched on his teammates, after he got caught in an adulterous act.

So, please spare all of us your love for the jack-up-artist/ Harlem Globetrotter/ kobe and stop mentioning him in the same sentence with the greatest of our generation.......MJ. 

Thank You in advance]]></description>
