He already worked for it. What kind of p***y has 4 MVPs? What kind of p***y is the consensus NBA best player for the last 2-3 years? A lot of the criticisms against LBJ don't make sense in the light of his accomplishments, he even went to the NBA finals with a crappy Cav team so haters can't even say he can't do jack squat by himself, what did MJ do before Phil Jackson and Pippen and Rodman got there? What did Kobe do by himself when Shaq left and before Pau Gasol came back? Dream is pretty much the only superstar I know who won a ring without any multiple all star dude by his side. Personally I want Lebron to do what best for himself and go where he needs to go to win rings. No matter what he does he can't change the haters' minds, these guys will find some way to criticize him no matter what he does. LBJ just needs to do what is best for him, if he wants to maximize his rings then he needs to go somewhere else. If he wants a challenge then he can stay, it's that simple. Personally (and like any sane person), I say he signs with the Spurs or Lakers or any smart org that has a savvy FO. Once Kobe retires maybe him and Cousins can unite in LA.
If he insists on leaving, can't he go to a team that hasn't won a ring ever? Him going to the Lakers would be a nightmare come true.
Blatt isn't a rookie coach without winning experience. But that doesnt even matter, even if basketball in Europe would be worth absolutely nothing you cant argue that the organization told Lebron they were better/smarter and then went to "get a rookie coach". Simply because they already signed him when Lebron decided to go back, he knew they had a "rookie coach". He knew it. Cant use that as an excuse.

I think many people misunderstand "Bron Bron hating". We all know he is a fantastic player and naturally gifted. He simply does not have the killer mentality. He is a prima donna who expects everything to go his way. He is the opposite of Kobe and Jordan.
Kobe is a selfish ******* egotistical rapist. Jordan is a douchebag but he had the killer instinct that you're talking about. Jordan is about wins. Kobe is about propping himself up.
You probably go through life with your shades on and expect things be black and white. Booyah. World is full of grey zones. Lebron has his good sides and has good enough killer instincts. Kobe is not on Jordan's level, is chucking more these days. He has great work ethics, and has confidence but Don't mix up confidence to shoot the winning shot with killer instinct. He shoots a mediocre or worse percentage in the 4th. Jordan was just on another level. But even Jordan had his faults. Also a big egomaniac but not as crazy as Kobe.
Killer instinct to me is making the right play.... not just shooting the winning shot - hit and miss The bigger stage, the bigger the killer instinct is Jordan, Lebron, Kobe all have confidence to make the winning play IMHO. Kobe just chucks more than pass or defend the end play Nowadays Kyle Billups Lowry has it, Harden has some... and so on
LOL at Lebron ever approaching MJ or Kobe status. The King is weak sauce. Getting by on talent but doesn't have the heart or fortitude. Bails out at the first sign of adversity
You're right. Kobe is not on Jordans level. Bron Bron is not on either of their levels. I am not a fan of Kobes, but the guy did bring it. LeBron was brought up since high school that he was going to be a sensational player in the NBA. Not only did he accept it, but he embraced it. Being labeled "King James" before he entered the NBA did not help his cause. His popularity before entering the NBA hurt his leadership development. The reality is that players want to be on his team to ride his coat tails, not because LeBron makes them a better player.
