    News flash: LeBron didn't get superstar calls. Adam Silver should be fired.

    Rockets could always send a tape of LeBron lowering his shoulder and clubbing defenders on drives.

    If LeBron was officiated fairly, he'd get more fouls called against him. He'd have travels called against him, too. He'd get flops.

    It is weird and soft to see a player personally and publicly complain like this, but teams do this all the time and it usually works so expect some BS tonight.

    The CHOSEN comment is interesting. o_O
    Revealing in terms of his psyche and/or programming. :confused:

    He is more or less correct with his Heat comment because he acknowledged that he wouldn't win as much but he'd still be dominant from beginning to end. I heard people disagree with him and say he wouldn't be in the GOAT conversation without those Miami rings, correct, debatable, who the hell knows, but that isn't LeBron's claim.

    The comments also show what LeBron's mindset is in terms of the purpose of the game. Dominating means individual brilliance. It means stats. Less championships doesn't change his domination of the league. It's a loser mentality. Nothing new, though. Wilt had the same mentality way back in the day. I'm sure some loser emperor thought the same centuries ago.

    Might as well sit Dillon Brooks out on this one. The man is going to get a flagrant 2 call at tip off.

    First missed foul call I can remember in the last several years in the NBA. I can understand why the Lakers are treating this grave issue with due reverence.

    Probably? And at what age did he get that? [rhetorical question]

    The older he gets, the more pathetic it seems to brag about himself. Just looks super insecure, as in "I am freaking out about getting older. Agghhhh!"

    It has been off-putting since day 1. You don't see Patrick Mahomes, Jerry Rice, Peyton Manning, Jim Brown, Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid, Wayne Gretzky doing that kind of stuff.

    He's a pampered twat and it's even reflected in his underdeveloped political takes. He's a man-child through-and-through, but that's a result of always being surrounded by a cult of personality. It's clear that worldview would shatter if he ever had to work a year in a 9-to-5 job.

    Instead of Space Jam 2, he should've been in a reboot of "Emperor's New Clothes".
