    Just to be clear:

    1. You're saying he is a wannabe douchebag as opposed to LeBron who is the real deal douchebag? Okay.

    2. I don't think anyone would argue against LeBron having other worldly talent, but how does that make his life worth more than another human beings life? That's pretty messed up.

    p.s. You have no idea who you're hurling your insults at. For all you know, he could be the greatest living pianist, painter or a ground breaking scientist. He may well have talent - even if not the same kind of talent or on the same level.

    3. That's essentially true of all of us. Yourself included. We are all made from dust and we will all return to dust.

    Akron is 39 miles from Cleveland. Let's put that in perspective - Conroe is actually .4 miles farther away from Houston than Akron is from Cleveland. And, much like Conroe, do not have their own NBA team.

    The Cavs were his hometown team.

    that doesn't mean it's his hometown team. he's not from cleveland so he has no loyalty to the cleveland cavs. he was never even a cavs fan growing up.

    I will probably never be a Lebron James fan but I will also tip my hat to him. He clearly has grown and matured and is a much better player and person now than from a few years ago. I think losing to Dallas two years ago really humbled him for the better.

    Lol, I wouldn't take him seriously. I think he's part of the teenage crew with low self esteem so they project their frustrations over the net and immortalize whoever the media is riding at the moment. His emotions for wanting to be a part of something, to belong to something that LeBron supposedly embodies, override the need for cognitive thought.

    I was confident as a kid so I can't relate, but in general today's preteens fear criticism and write it off as 'hate' so they can live in ignorance or with lowered expectations. I've made some very valid points.
