Why Flaming LeBron James?



Give Lebron a break.. We know that the next morning after the NBA final, we can start reading flames all over LeBron James. So why flaming him? The proper answer to this question is another question: WHY NOT? If NBA is City of Gorham, then Dallas Mavericks is the Batman and Miami Heat is the Penguin. There is no reason for not flaming LeBron James. After all, he did:

#1 Leave Cleveland Cavaliers who fully supported him for seven years in such an ugly manner
There is a Chinese proverb "凡事留一线,日后好相见". Obviously, LeBron James does not understand what does this mean because Google translated this as "All things save one, a good meet future". And this also means that Google Translate sucks! Okay back to the topic, after flirting with several teams last year, LeBron James hosted a TV show "The Decision" to reveal his decision of his whereabouts in the future. Well, I understand that LeBron James wants to win so badly but it's not like Cavaliers did not anything to be supportive. In fact, they did everything they could to support LeBron to win a champion. What he did it's like a pussy flirting with a guy - making the guy to spend lots of cash on her shopping and making the guy to buy her diamonds rings, and in the end, "Thanks for all the $$$ but I'm sorry, you're not my type".

#2 Promise the Miami Heat not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven.. champions!
I supposed that he meant to bring the Heat more than seven champions while he's around. LeBron James is a great player. Even Jason Kidd has his very first ring at the age of 38. There is a high possibility that LeBron will win one ring eventually. But he's talking about eight or more champions to Miami Heat. This means that he needs at least another eight years to deliver his promise to the Miami Heat fans. Or else, he will be hated not only by non-Miami Heat fans, but also Miami Heat fans as well. But seeing how he betrayed his hometown in such an ugly manner, there are chances that LeBron James will betray the Miami Heat in his quest for his ring. Or maybe we misunderstood what he really meant. What he really meant was that he would bring not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven but ZERO champion to Miami Heat.

#3 The chalk throwing every single fucking game to annoy people like me
Some people think it's cool, some people think it's gay, some people go "wtf" every time he did this. I don't know why he does this all the time. Maybe he grows up watching WWE and he thinks that it's so cool to have his own signature move for his entrance to the game. "Triple H does his water spitting for his entrance, The Rock does his "Can you smell what The Rock is cooking" eyebrow lift for his entrance, so why not doing the Chalk move for my entrance?" This probably goes through his mind when he first started his chalk move. C'mon LeBron, this is basketball, not wrestling entertainment. When asked why started the Chalk, he replied “I don’t know why I started throwing it up. But it is definitely trademarked." Trademarked? Don't worry, nobody bothers doing such a silly move in a basketball game. Maybe a lame newbie wrestler in WWE might do this - keep an eye on WWE if you're so afraid that somebody else is doing your trademarked Chalk move. Oh LeBron, by the way, here's some tips how to use your chalk better,

#4 Choke in critical moment...again
Even if the Heat had beaten the Mavericks, Dwayne Wade would have been named as the Final MVP. And the reason why the Heat did not beat the Mavericks, it's because LeBron James choked in critical moment again. When I watched Heat-Bulls series and Heat-Celtic series, I thought that LeBron James improved his games by being critical (or relevant) in the clutch moment. And for an obvious reason the Heat won both series against Bulls and Celtic, LeBron James delivered in the final minutes. But during the final series against the Mavericks (a more critical and clutch moment), LeBron James was able to be relevant in the Heat offense. Remember how he scored only 8 points in game 4? Remember how he failed to score in the final 5 minutes of the game? I know LeBron James wanted to play a point guard like Magic Johnson. But his decision making is nowhere close. So why not use his superhuman body to score inside? And for the fact that he always chokes when it matters most, Kobe Bryant is a better player than LeBron James.

#5 Fail at Public Relation
Of course, a NBA player should care the least about public relation and care the most about practice. Or else, you might be ended up in Turkey league like Allen Iverson who talked about practice. But if a NBA player wants to publicize his personal opinions, then make sure it makes him, at least, look smart. LeBron James tweeted "Now or Never" before Game 5. Then "Now or Never" again before Game 6. Dude, how many "Now or Never" situations for you out there? Since it was a "Never" on Game 5, thus, an automatic "Never" on Game 6 too? And a "Never" for the rest of his NBA career? So there will be no champion for him? Okay, at least after his loss to Mavericks, he left the court after shaking (only) the hand of Dirk Nowitzki. Well, he had his explanation for not congratulating:
      
      "It's hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them, I'm a winner. It's not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you're not going to congratulate them. ... I'm a competitor. That's what I do. It doesn't make sense for me to go over and shake somebody's hand." LeBron James after the loss to Orlando Magic in 2009.

He called himself a winner without winning. Ha-ha, very funny.

Nonetheless, his poor public relation is mainly due to the 7-year-influence of another greater failure at public relation in Cleveland, Dan Gilbert, the owner of Cavaliers. He shows his lameness by constantly flaming LeBron James after "The Decision" of leaving Cavaliers. He boldly (or rather lamely) predicted that Cavaliers will win a champion before LeBron James. And right after the Finals Game 6, he flamed LeBron James by tweeting "Mavs NEVER stopped & now entire franchise gets rings, Old Lesson for all: There are NO SHORTCUTS. NONE." But hey, everyone else can flame LeBron James but Dan Gilbert. Remember this, you're the one who used your first pick on LeBron James out of the class of 2003. You could have picked Dwayne Wade. Then, maybe the Big Three is in Cleveland now. So accept the consequences of your foolishness and blame no one but yourself, Dan.
