"LeBron is getting all the credit and none of the blame. And that's not fun for people,"

When has Lebron taken responsibility for anything that has happened to his teams? When and where? Where was he when a sick Dirk and the Mavs took him to the cleaners? Should I go on? The mere fact that LeBum's fans can remotely argue that Griffin's comments are slanderous buttresses my opinion that LeBum is overtly sensitive, hates criticisms and detest taking responsibilities. The championship LeBum won in Cleaveland means just as much as any he won with the "Assembly". So what is the deal? Griffin assembled talents around Lebum to ensure he achieved his goal of winning a ring in his home town, yet, Griffin is not good enough or lacks the credibility to speak his mind about LeBum? Does Griffin have a point? Because apart from AD, no other superstar during this offseason was interested in teaming up with LeBum. Could Griffin be saying the hard truth no one is courageous enough to let out?

Again what did Griffin say that can be said to be grievous or demonic against LeBum? When LeBum's team win, he gets all the accolades and glory but when he loses, it is the fault of others. isn't that the truth? The mainstream media is driven by his machination and despite his numerous failings during the finals, someone else took the heat for his mistakes. Do you guys want me to write the litany of excuses that have been made for LeBum's failings that do not include LeBum taking responsibility? Worse still, important shots like the Ray Allen shot, Kyrie clutch never get relevance they deserve in the narration of LeBum's glory. My argument has absolutely nothing to do with D. Griffin, for all I care, the man is in a better place but please and please, don't come with how he is the best thing since sliced bread, yet, he can not chew sourdough when it is hot.

You are a hater, pure and simple. Don't deny it, accept your reality.

What does what the media or his fan boys say got to do with what LeBron himself says or does? I have watched the painful losses of his Heats days and at Cleveland and each time he takes responsibility for his failings and mistakes as a leader. I have watched his victories and the rings he won, he shares the success with team mates and hails the team's contributions.

He praised his team mates and hailed Ray Allen as Jesus, saying the clutch shot was the reason they went all out to get him ab initio. Even Cleveland's 2016 ring, he was so effusive of Kyrie's contributions in the historic win. He said it was the greatest point guard display by any player in playoffs finals history.

Here you are blaming and hating him for the iniquities of the media and his fans. Griffin suggested same but is now backtracking saying the problem was the media.

Is he perfect? Naaa, no one is. But creating and piling up lies because you hate a player is a no no for me.

Emancipate yourself from hate. Stop it.

Calling me a LeBum hater is a fair argument to make but please don't allow that distract you from comprehending fair criticisms about him from others with a different school of thought about his greatness. If you know me very well and read through my history you would see that I have praised LeBum just as much and given him a lot of credit on this thread. I have argued for him on different topics and argued against him in many. Consequently, referring to me as a hater does not faze me.

The iniquities of the media you said? I really cracked up on that one. No one, absolutely no one can deny LeBum controls mainstream media and the rhetorics surrounding his news. From nationally televised "Decision" to the adventure in LA to this summer's free agency recruitment before 'The Claw" took the NBA hostage under his nose. So don't talk to me about LeBum being ignorant of the machination of the mainstream media when he is directly controlling the narrative which most analysts have said. When Charles Barkley called LeBum "Whiny" for demanding more and more trades despite having 2 other all-stars in the team he was called a "hater", so what is new?

Should I remind you how many times D. Griffin and the Cavs "Assembled" and "ReAssembled" a team during LeBum's final season with the Cavs because of LeBum's needs? We know how players like Chris Bosh, Kevin Love, JR Smith suffered numerous insults whenever a LeBum team failed to succeed. At one point, you guys even questioned the all-star status of integral pieces that formed the core of LeBum's team, so what is the deal? Just because David Griffin is courageous enough to say the obvious? If Griffin is bluffing why have other superstars refuse to team up with him since he left Miami with the Claw being the latest example? You can call me a hater all you want and I will gladly take it but it will not stop me from saying the obvious that LeBum does not like criticisms, a mental midget, he wants to be in the face of everything and is too soft-skinned to take the heat.

Lmaooooo I no fit laugh. Where are those obtuse Bronsexuals that were arguing so foolishly all because they could not see what was in plain sight

LeNomad has always been a self serving and attention seeking megalomaniac. It's not slander if it's true

Bronsexuals will argue with everyone including his GM who was in the firing line. And nobody should quote me and call me a hater. I really don't care tbvh

Can't be arguing with anyone who refuses to admit the truth even in face of overwhelming evidence

Just read what you wrote here.and read your earlier accusations. You'll find there's no match. Where is the wild accusation that he accepts all the praise and none of the blames?

If your argument is that Lebron's needs as a superstar or media celebrity and the fan boys frenzy can affect the team or some individual players or like Griffin said his ability to enjoy his job of managing the team, that's a fair argument. Not many can handle the pressure that comes with Lebron.

His media and fan boys followership are as a result of what he brings to the table in any of the team's he's played on. He is a special player. He earned it.

He enjoys the spotlight just like Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan in their days but to cook up lies and mischaracterize him and his legacy is pure hating.

Was watching Isiah Thomas's The Point show and saw how the Splash brothers were gushing about how special Lebron is and what it feels like playing against him and how the Warriors try to counteract the Lebron effect in their games and Isiah Thomas comparing the Lebron effect to how they felt playing against MJ and how the Pistons prepared elaborate plans for him. You would think they were fan boys too but no, they were acknowleging how rare what Lebron brings to the table is, his greatness.

No need debating the rest of your criticism. At least you have the honesty to accept your hating.
