Because he's a narcissist that wants to make damn near everything about him. Rams win the Super Bowl, hey let's have a joint championship party between the Lakers and Rams. He basically bragged about being the GM of the Lakers before the season, but now that they suck, he doesn't want any part of constructing the team. For someone who calls himself a "King," he sure does quit in the playoffs. Very un-King like.

The way I see it, in the world of sports, it’s very rare you see a figure like lebron. He went to the pros straight out of high school in what, 03? That’s almost 20 years becoming a millionaire straight out of high school and he’s been nothing but a class act, scandal free, and frankly he’s helped change the dynamic of the player-owner relationship in all of sports, for the better imo. I like lebron and I don’t even like basketball.

I respect that. Was just never a fan. I'm a Kobe and MJ stan so that probbaly has a lot to do with it. Plus I'm sure Kobe and MJ could usually get past the first pages of books

I was once a big-time LeBron fan. I don't question his off-the-field stuff by funding a school, helping his boys Rich and Mav become high rollers of their own, etc. For me, I started losing respect for him when he played like an absolute bitch against the Mavs in 2011, left the Heat a few years later, quit on the Cavs the 2nd time around, and quit AGAIN against the Suns in the elimination game.

That being said, I don't argue with your points tho.

I actually found the whole "quitting in the playoffs" thing to be kind of refreshing. Like he basically called out his GM and Owner in the middle of a playoff series. He's like "what watch happens when I don't take this game over" and "look at the trash around me you guys put together and how I'm carrying them".
 
Lebron outside of Miami has had a heavy hand in the teams constructed around him.

Miami was the only team with a GM/Coach that would not let him construct teams as he saw fit and instead forced him to play in the post to make things work. They also turned Bosh into a perimeter player to assist with that.

I mean, sort of. He's responsible for the Lakers brining in AD and Westbrook, of which neither has worked out very well, so that's true.
There's no way LeBron likes the depth players around him in LA. It's not close to the same kind of players he was getting in Miami or Cleveland as supporting cast.

Bruh this is just as bad as Nick Bosa saying Black Panther was the WORST MARVEL MOVIE OF ALL TIME. The amount of capping in that tweet was downright criminal.

Micheal B Jordan is terrible as killmonger. Chadwick saved that movie , but even then it’s middle of the pack for marvel movies

Lakers wanted to go after Demar and Buddy Hield. He insisted the Lakers go after a smaller less efficient version of himself.

I was against the AD trade ONLY because they kept the wrong guy (Kuzma) instead of Lonzo or Ingram.

The AD trade did lead to a championship even though it does not hold much weight to alot of people. The argument there is that had it not been for the layoff, AD who is traditionally hurt this time of year would have would not have been ready to go vs a bunch of players that did not even want to be in the bubble.

So... I like how this one Packers fan blames Lamar for Sammy coming to a complete hault and stopped running the route. "He finally has a QB".... etc. Thank goodness for @Ice Bowl

Lamar effortlessly throwing that with defenders breathing down his neck was impressive lol

I can’t see this. Is this when Sammy stopped running in the end zone because his dumb ass thought he was gonna hit the post?
