[@cynthiaevans7371]

Lebron is, and always was, a phenom in every sense of the word. This interview highlighted his quiet confidence, intelligence, poise, and, fierce loyalty to the people who 'touched' him along his journey and, ultimately, assisted in propelling his talent into the world's spotlight. His 'success' was, and STILL is, the TEAM's success. He amazed me, time and time again, with, not only his athletic prowess, his ability to handle the media and not be handled, and his ability to decide how he would enter the next phase of his life, was genius. He, again, fired his agent and hired his friends to represent him (Rich Paul and Maverick Carter) which incensed the media who promptly labeled them as thugs. On so many levels, his brilliance has played out, and continues to so, unapologetically, on the worldwide stage. He's something special. We are all witnesses to this Renaissance Man.

[@hakm7765]

LeBron came in with the most hype OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL and hasn't disappointed. He got drafted by his HOME STATE. He holds all the Youngest to score records. He had a Triple Dub in 1st playoff game. He hit 2 game winning shots in his 1st playoff series. He took the Pistons to game 7 after making back to back Finals. He did that with no other all-star. He has 1 of the greatest clutch performances in history scoring 29 of his teams last 30(25 str8). He was the lone all-star on the '07 Cavs that went to the finals.

[@TrestanSKYWALKR]

What an amazing story he is. I will always be a Jordan guy, but for his generation, nobody comes close to Lebron. I’m not just talking about basketball, his influence on pop culture and positive things he does for society is unmatched. I don’t think KD or Giannis will ever have that level of influence. Lebron ws under scrutiny since high school and he came through.

[@deafsomali]

manutdjkm dont mind him. Dont waste time wit fools💯

[@TrestanSKYWALKR]

Mikey C23 criminals??? Flynn plead guilty and is a cooperating witness. Manafort plead guilty and could spend the rest of his life in prison. Cohen plead guilty and is a cooperating witness against Trump. Trump’s charitable foundation was found to be illegally funneling money into his company, is being dissolved under government supervision and no one from Trump to his adult children can ever chair a charity again in New York. Donald Trump Jr. is believed to indicted by Mueller soon. Roger Stone is believed to be indicted by Mueller soon. Nearly everyone in the president’s inner circle are criminals, however you must believe he is the only innocent person among them. Poor Donald Trump had all those bad people around him doing bad things and the innocent little angel knew nothing about any of it. Also, I am a former police officer. Most of my family either served in the military, as police officers or both. When did the police rise above criticism? The fact of the matter is, we have been doing a bad job when it comes to shooting unarmed black men. We must step up, own it and do better. Hiding behind false equivalencies and ridiculous arguments only serves to erode public confidence in the police and makes our jobs less safe. Out of all the calls I went to I never discharged my duty weapon by mistake or at someone who was not armed. I’ve been in some of the most terrible situations you could imagine and seen things that will give me nightmares for the rest of my life, but I didn’t sign up for the job because I thought it was “safe”. I signed up because I wanted to protect innocent people in my community and if that ever meant I would have to die doing so, then so be it. So on my end, that meant I had to be absolutely sure I was correct before potentially taking someone’s life. Good police officers don’t have a problem with James or Kaepernick because we know they aren’t talking about us. I swore an oath to this country and the Constitution and I will honor that oath until the day I die. I will tell you right now, you’re knee deep in a conversation you are not qualified to hold. The only reason I responded to you is because of your reference to police officers (more of us need to say when we are wrong or when we mess up). Unless you’re talking points, rebounds, assists or championships, I have nothing more to say to you...

Simply amazing, he said it in his very first interview, it's always team first.. And the way he conducted himself, he had the media respected him from day one.

It's a miracle that Lebron was able to get the Cavs back to the playoffs, 60 wins in back to back seasons, get them to the Finals 5 times and actually win a title for Cleveland. Worst front office in the league and he found out a way to lead them to every one of their 21 playoff series wins after going 12 straight seasons without making it out of the first round or to the playoffs. Carried the weight of the NBA going on 20 years. What a fucking legend.

For your info, more people love him than hate him, I just mention the hatred because the vast majority of people who hate him will tell you that he’s not Jordan. What does that have to do with anything. MJ is not Lebron neither. Two different players, era’s, legacies, and accomplishments. Everyone who knows basketball knows that Lebron is not MJ and vice versa. People are mad because of the media comparison. Smh... All I’m saying is that the people who hate him, take it a little bit too personal, it’s not even about basketball anymore.

[@Three3dayseven3]

He's not really hated besides the snake move to Miami but people quickly forgave him when he went back to Cleveland. I guess Durant needs to go back to okc and win a ring then maybe he won't be hated as much. And if not then people are just miserable.
