The media has made LeBron a star and a villain. Some people dislike LeBron, even hate him. There are millions that love him and I am one of them. He is an incredible basketball player and the best NBA basketball player of this time.

Then why all the hate? Well maybe the way he went about coming over to Miami and leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers was a little unorthodox but none the less he had every right to go as a free agent. Or maybe when in Miami LeBron, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh had an early celebration. No matter what LeBron said at that celebration, he really believed in what he said.

I think if Dan Gilbert spent the money to surround LeBron with quality players, the Cavaliers may have won an NBA championship and LeBron didn’t need to leave the Cavaliers. That didn’t happen and his goal has always been to win an NBA championship. Great. players always have a goal to win a championship and not just play for money

What’s the difference when Jeff Green was one day on the Oklahoma City Thunder team and the next day he was on a plane to Boston Celtics? Why can owners change your whole life in 1 day. The NBA is a business.

Did he not work hard throughout the 8 years he has been in the NBA. Could you say you have dedicated yourself to a specific career and put your whole mind and body into your profession like LeBron has?

LeBron may have said arrogant things at times but can you look in the mirror and say you have never bragged about anything?

Maybe you said you were the most beautiful girl or most handsome guy. Or you are the best worker and you are indispensable and your company couldn’t do without you. We know that is not true. I heard guys say they are the best kissers or the best in bed–really?

Just because you are not famous or not on TV, doesn’t mean that you have not made arrogant statements at one time or another. Or when you were in your 20′s, you didn’t do crazy things or something you may done and wished you hadn’t. So what is the difference between you and LeBron James?

So before you talk about how arrogant LeBron is, look at yourself in the mirror. If you dislike or hate LeBron, then you must dislike or hate yourself.
