LeBron Is Just Like the Rest #NBA
I like LeBron James. Or, more to the point, I USED to like LeBron James. The LeBron James Variety Show or whatever he and his team of sycophants and ESPN are going to call it, was the tipping point for me. I will marvel at his speed, his size and his ridiculous ability to play basketball, but I am pretty much done thinking he is any different from any of the other NBA narcissists that fill the league. He isn’t; he’s probably worse. He is worse.
Kobe Bryant, the patron saint of bad guys who worship at the alter of themselves, never did anything as distasteful as hosting a TV show to announce which city will get to watch him not win championships. I am sure Bryant wishes that he had come up with it, but even his ego couldn’t fathom a one hour show about him and his free agency. LeBron did. The only thing keeping the absurdly self-titled ‘King James’ from being a worse person than Kobe, is that he can still order room service in a hotel without the local police being notified.
Lebron James does not care about winning. LeBron James doesn’t give a damn about Ohio or Cleveland, or anything not named LeBron James. The ‘show’ is a gigantic ego stroke, a way for him to make everyone fawn over him again. Only this time he doesn’t have to compete for airtime with guys like D. Wade or Chris Bosh.
All this show means is that LeBron. and his band of high school hangers on, have known exactly where he was going all along. LeBron made all of his faux suitors travel to Cleveland to kiss his ring, make their ridiculous presentations, just so he could be feted; just so he could be worshipped at a national level; just so he could show up every day in another vehicle and have people shout his name. I know you didn't get to participate in the whole college recruitment thing, but this is pretty pathetic.
Some good does come from this. LeBron has shown his true colors. He has demonstrated that he cares about publicity and buzz more than minor trivialities like ‘winning’ and ‘character’. He cares about himself, money, himself, cars, himself, being the King, himself, selling Vitamin Water, himself, and oh yeah, winning.
LeBron James is just like the rest of them. Just because he smiles when he plays doesn’t make him Magic Johnson. Just because he can fly through the air doesn’t make him like Michael Jordan. Those guys cared about winning first and others things second. Yes, they loved themselves and loved making money, but the very first thing they did every day was try and get better to win more rings. Not LeBron. He wants to be on TV.
He’s just like the rest of them. Worse actually.

holy crap that line had me laughing hard
"He cares about himself, money, himself, cars, himself, being the King, himself, selling Vitamin Water, himself, and oh yeah, winning."
Impossible. No way winning cracks his Top 10 priorities.
The Delonte West exclusive where he airs it all out, in detail, needs to happen.
Kobe and James that severe
My view is clear. KOBE and JAMES is not a level of player.
Basketball as a game, you will have the rules of the game while Bryant has this rule is applied to the superb players in the realm of gods. If basketball is an art, then Kobe is the artist who is performing.
kobe get high marks in the same time have averaged nearly 5 times as high as assists. the offensive team when Kobe Bryant will not open and timely step forward. and very aggressive with his excellent defending defensive awareness. to promote teammate teammate infection. . If there are thinkers Bryant Basketball undoubtedly one of them.
The two are James in a long period of time thereafter can not be something in the shoulder to shoulder.
