Kobe and Shaq. They are not just a douchebags but egomaniacs, too. This fact ruined their dynasty When you are talking about KG or LeBron, you are talking about dudes that are douchebags to another but faithful to their teams (KG 100%, LeBron - so,so). Shaq and Kobe? I don't think so
Tie between LeBron and Garnett. But LeBron is a different kind of douche than Garnett is. But just as equal.
Not surprising. They were both phenoms out of HS and Lebron went on record saying that KG was one of the main ppl he asked for advice on whether he should form a big 3 in miami.
KG is ubercompetitive and can play dirty/fake tough; his douchiness is more of a "love him or hate him" vibe depending on whether he's on your team or not. Lebron's douchiness stems more from this atmosphere of entitlement that he carries with him; not surprising, as he has godly talent and was told that every day growing up by agents, coaches, and yes-men. I read stories about how Lebron would diva out at restaurants, so its not surprising that he would pull a shtick like having ESPN set aside a special segment in which he can attention w**** more. Definitely Lebron is on the top rung of my Douche-ladder.
To not include Kobe is like not including Hakeem in the greatest centers of all time list. I couldn't decide from the poll. A four way tie it is.
I thought Kobe was classified as fake and anti-social. Although, now that I think of it. He acts like a huge douchebag with his fake ass laugh in interviews.
LeBron. He should've gone to college. He would have dominated, but at least maybe he would have gotten all of his immature celebrations out of his system before he got to the league.
So guys, how quickly do you think I would have been banned if I put Hakeem as an option on this pole as a joke?
Lebron was a bit douchey in Cleveland but he was young and arrogant. He had some bad advice from his management to do that "decision" show. He's learned from it, he has matured, and he has evolved into a class individual. His name should not be on this poll. Lebron is a good guy. Never been in any kind of trouble, no scandals, no fighting, drinking, DWI stories, no guns - no problems. Lebron is a good clean cut guy and a great role model for kids now that he's matured. Poll fail.
How fast will you disappear when the heat win the next 3 in Dallas? Like Valariuo in that Bulls/Heat thread.
Well, they did win 2/3 in Chicago, who is a better home team than Dallas. I think they'll win 2/3 in Dallas too. The home/road records for both teams are almost the same, so HCA means little in this series.
