Republicans want to give our “defense” unlimited funds and yet it’s those damn teachers and unions and poor people bankrupting the worlds greatest country

That must be a prerequisite for having the mind needed to complain about LeBron all the time

Look, we live in the Internet era and most of America can’t tell you where Canada is or know who our first or last 5 Presidents were…follow my point as far as math goes?

Making Lebron jokes out of the same, used up material is getting old and the man is giving less material every day forward aside from his hairline

As for Rio in 4 years? There are more pressing issues coming with winning next year and beating the Thunder in the finals again

do both of you douchebags really not understand the sarcasm? A 5 year old could do that math so lets not go throwing the education on board this conversation because through all the business LeBron has PROBABLY been through he is more educated than both of you. No cheap shots just keeping it real losers.

Sorry, but I have to admit, this is the first thing I thought of also when I read the quote. It’s like, wow, really? You figured out that in 4 years you’ll be 31 since you’re 27 now. Hey, congrats, man! Cracks me up sometimes how uneducated some athletes sound when a microphone is stuck in their face. No cheap shot at LeBron here. It’s the nature of the “sound bite” world that we live in. Sometimes the high-profile guys get ripped the most for goofy quotes like that… unfortunately.

No love for Kevin Love in this article? Did you forget what he did in the Olympics, or does he not matter because he doesn’t play for a big market?

According to my 2015 sports almanac, LBJ will be coming in off his fifth consecutive NBA championship LOL… shhhh don’t tell Biff

I love that he said he “did the math.” Awesome. He added 27 and 4. I guess we should be happy that he didn’t think 27 + 4 equals 274.

Acdc you shouldn’t have said that.. The lebron worshipers are going to throw you in the hater and troll category

So he’ll play in the olympics at age 31 but can’t even do the damn dunk contest at 27?!

“only won by 7 points”. what does he think this is? horseshoes?

I’m pretty sure LeBron didn’t play with Chris Paul on an AAU team. I’m also sure that LeBron didn’t play on any 16-U team of any sort, much less with Carmelo or D-Wade. LeBron, Kobe, and Chandler didn’t go to college.
What’s actually terrible is the need to find flaw in victory. That’s the clear sign of a person who enjoys finding the negative in everything. You argument has no validity and I just realized that I’m wasting my time by arguing with a troll.

“Lebronze”? So you are pinning the Bronze medal on a 10 kid when there were numerous veterans (including the teflon Tim Duncan) on that team? That’s what people mean by “hating” (I’m sick of that word by the way, even though it is appropriate).

Your comparing nba to international like apples to oranges when you should compare it to college football to nfl.. It’s the same basic concepts..we have the best players in the world, it shouldn’t even be close. And don’t make that bs excuse like the media makes saying they haven’t played together as long as the other teams. We 16-u 17-u and 18-u junior national teams just like everyone else. These guys play aau college nba and all star games from when they where 12 and still today.. They all know each other well.. Terrible excuse

yeah….i was okay with gatordontplay comment untill the ‘mouth full’

Sooner or later people gotta forgive lebronze. We were all idiots at 24-25 and this guy was spoiled like a king so you can’t exactly blame him for thinking he can do anything he wants and still be loved.

With that said I still don’t want him to get anymore rings. He can have another gold medal for Team USA though.

I think the bigger problem is that gatordontplay left 4 comments bashing him… I think he qualifies as a hater.

Are people so sensitive we can’t make lighthearted Lebron jokes without being deemed haters? Lebron said he “did the math” to add 4 years to his current age. That’s pretty funny. Oh what’s 27 plus 4? Hold on, let me do some math. Lighten up guys, I don’t think anyone here actually hates Lebron, he’s just an easy target to poke some fun at. I honestly don’t see the point in defending him with such passion, I’m like 80% sure he wouldn’t do the same.

Well beating Spain is an accomplishment when the NBA players are playing by international rules, with international refs, playing international teams that have been together since they were teenagers. Did you see the 22 foul calls in one quarter? Yes, he has won only one title so far, but in order to get to 5 you have to start with one jerkoff. Also, if you acually watched the video he was saying that they “came together to win not 1, not 2, not 3….” etc. Why would these three guys team up just to win one or two? Isn’t the goal to win every year? You are sitting up here acting like these overcompensated athletes are supposed to be humble and be role models. You are sadly mistaken. Most of those guys are jerks. Some just keep it behind the scenes for money reasons. The only thing I am mad at LeBron (or Kobe or Dwight) about is they feel the need to apologize for their LEGAL actions. People do illegal things every day (drink and drive, speeding, stealing, driving erratically) and don’t apologize in the name of “freedom”. Well let me break it to you, just like you have the right to troll at 9:00 in the morning, LeBron has the right to make ridiculous predictions and allow nike to charge $100+ dollars for a pair of shoes on his behalf. Get over it. Just like those people who took video of themselves buring Dwight Howard jerseys, you are clearly wasting your time and energy. It’s not his fault you thought so highly of him to become so angry after he does something to piss you off, it’s a YOU problem.

Yes because lebron and team USA beating Spain by 7 points with 11 nba all stars compared to Spain with 5,6 nba players to was legendary. Winning 1 nba title after claiming they would win not 4 not 5 not 6 titles.. Call me hater if you want aleast I’m not the one on my knees with a mouth full

Hey gatordontplay your education has taught you how to be a miserable hater. With lebrons talents I don’t think anyone would go to college. With all that lebrons has accomplished this year it baffles me how people continue to bash him and criticize him. Look in the mirror dude! You Suck!

Lebron I have also done the math this time next Monday i will be a week older and one paycheck richer.. And I figured that out without taking my talents to college.. Aw high school the best 4 1/2 years of my life

In 2016 we’ll have hoverboards. Lebron will be old news by then.
