isn't Lebron an only child?
i think he is ur basic spoiled brat only child that grew into a responsible adult... u can still see remnants of that spoiled brat only child in some of his behaviours if u look really hard.
the guy's alright.

He was the king of subtweets and passive aggressive behavior less than 9 months ago. Cleveland is just the perfect embodiment of winning curing all ills.

if that's his only real flaw.. we're doing ok. the Pistons just made up reasons to hate Jordan.
the best gets hated for being the best; any flaws they have get magnified 1000 fold. now if Lebron mysteriously takes a 2 year vacation to play double A baseball... well maybe there is some character flaws in the guy that warrant serious discussion. i don't think that will ever happen though.
i'm an only child and i got the same kind of "primadonna" label until i was about 21...and ive seen other only children get it too. its the result of being the absolute, 100% center of your mom's universe throughout your entire childhood. its like being a momma's boy on a whole new level.
lebron's an only child mommy's boy. he ain't no criminal.
so LBJ flops? meh... look at the 7 basic ballet movements draymond has mastered so that he can claim his testicle punches are natural movements.

I would in no way dispute the notion that Lebron's character flaws are minor. The issue I have is we are entering the age of the Lebron hyper-circlejerk. Part of it is because his social stands that the media largely agree with and love, part of it is narrative reasons, etc. But here is what is happening, the new "cool" thing to do is tear down Jordan for punching teammates, being a jerk, etc (all true), then call Lebron a "great teammate", "leader", "business innovator" etc. These things are just false, his game is a great team game because hes an amazing passer, that doesn't mean that is his personality is that of a great teammate.
I doubt any great player really is a great teammate (Peyton Manning threw his o-line under the Bus in 2005, Brady would be as insufferable as Kobe if his team ever was as bad as the Colts are this year, etc), so its not a specific critique of Lebron, who is a great player. But it does seem like he gets to have his cake and eat it too these days. I mean, seriously he's playing the victim on this? I don't remember the Maverick Carter- Rich Paul talent agency buying the UFC recently, etc.
Klutch has $317m in contracts under management. 182 Million of that is just Lebron and TT. JayZ's joke agency is more than double that.

spoiled-brat, only-child, mommy's boys have that victim routine down to a science. because their mom freaked every time their precious little man had the slightest problem. i mean .. with some guys it feels like its intertwined into their DNA.
LBJ is an only-child, spoiled-brat mommy's boy at his core. His moment to moment emotions are far more important to him than they are for most men.
2 years in the Navy Seals would make a man out of him... either that or the training will kill him.
my personal journey from spoiled brat mommy's boy to "real man"
+ Show Spoiler +what beat it out of me was 4.75 years of going to a co-op university and doing nothing but work, sleep, study and exercise. i moved 9 times. worked in Chicago, upstate New York, Toronto and Montreal all in the span of 4.75 years... i had 30 actual days off in almost 5 years.
without some serious intervention spoiled-brat, only-child mommy's boys are suck-holes their whole life.
this is a good inspirational "intervention" here.

Lebron is an ok guy, which makes his deflection bizarre. We all know he's meddlesome and wants things his way, so just own up to it and own it.
I think he also has some 'tortured genius' aspects to his personality. He's really too smart for his own good. He's not vain or egocentric enough to be the perfect basketball player.

I can't believe that you're saying LeBron was spoiled. I read your life story and it's a joke compared to what LeBron went through growing up. Yeah he was an only child; he also never met his dad, his mom was 16 when she gave birth to him, and LeBron spent huge portions of his childhood homeless. It wasn't until his early teens that he had a roof over his head consistently. How is that being spoiled?

haha. homeless eh? i read someplace he didn't eat for 6 months either. otherwise he'd be 9 feet tall and weigh 575 lbs.
in the 1980s in the USA homeless children are removed from the care of their homeless parents and placed in a foster home.
2 eras of economic boom in the USA occurred from 1982 to 1990 and then 1994 to 2006. its a big reason why presidents got re-elected in those times.. the economy was boomin'.
lebron exhibits the same prima donna attitudes all only children have. some evolve beyond them as they grow into adulthood... some never do.

Classic JimmyJ, Makes stupid statement. Gets called on it. Makes up shit or takes unrelated facts to "prove" his ridiculous original statement. I had no idea that those two "economic booms" removed poverty and made all children's life perfect. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/9825052/how-lebron-james-life-changed-fourth-grade-espn-magazineAnd a quote: "Born in Akron, Ohio, in 1984, James is the only child of Gloria James, who gave birth to him when she was just sixteen years old. Gloria struggled to provide for James during his childhood. When James was about five years old, he and his mother moved seven times in a year. For a couple of years during elementary school, James lived with a foster family. Gloria's longtime boyfriend, Eddie Jackson, has acted as a father figure for James, but he was not always around during James's youth, spending several years in prison for selling drugs and, later, for fraud. Regardless of any troubles they may have had, however, James and his mother have a close and supportive relationship. He told Jack McCallum of Sports Illustrated: "My mother is my everything. Always has been. Always will be."

Just because you say you grew out of it doesn't make it so. If it's like most of what you say well..... Not all only children become spoiled I'll link some articles but is there a point if you already believe something so incredibly silly? I'm sure we have all experianced personally only children that are fine. http://www.susannewmanphd.com/blog/2010/09/02/only-child-stereotypes/http://www.shape.com/lifestyle/mind-and-body/growing-without-siblings-disadvantagehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/only-child-facts-only-children_us_56253caae4b0bce347019ae5I'm not a big Lebron guy but your post is one of the stupidest posts I've ever read, it is also pretty damn offenseive to all those who struggled and had rough childhoods.I always knew you were completely out to lunch but even for you this is a impressive level of "not getting it"
what is hilarious is how aggressive you post and it turns out you are not fully reading my posts. you spend paragraphs yapping away on off base tangents. try reading the posts related to the lebron thing.

this statement is incorrect. homeless children are removed from their homeless parents in the USA in the 80s and 90s. in the 1980s and 1990s the USA was a standard 1st world country in terms of the state protecting children from starvation and homelessness.
any child in that era spending "huge portions of their childhood homeless" is removed from the care of their homeless parent(s).

in the 1980s and 1990s in Ohio when someone under 13 is "homeless for large portions of their childhood" they were stuck in a foster home. ask any social worker over 55 years old. contact child protective services in Canton or Columbus or some other place in Ohio.
i'm discussing the 1980s and 1990s in Ohio. this does not cover that time period or that state. specifically we're talking before 1997. the other poster is not claiming LBJ was homeless after age 13.
The other poster stated LBJ had a stable home once he hit his "early teens"; we are discussing LBJs homeless status from age 0 to 12. this "homeless teens" are not what is being discussed. and even with this in order to keep the stats nice and high they call 1 night not sleeping at home a "period of homelessness".
let's bring this back to LBJ. He did not spend "large portions of his childhood homeless". The other posters statement is incorrect. Your source confirms this.

"Hey, is this child protective services? I need to settle an online argument, in a gaming forum's nba thread, about Ohio foster care in the 80's"
Do you not get how absurd you sound?

back to basketball. Lowry has his shot back. Ujiri is earning his pay when he excavates the gem that is pascal siakam very late in the 1st round. Now that Ujiri is Prez I just hope he still has his ear to the ground regarding drafting NCAA players.
