Lebron's other sidekick.... his EGO

Oh how I remember the days when Lebron James was a blossoming new face in the NBA. Everybody liked him. I remember his humility, discipline, and respect he had for the game. Not that I am questioning Lebron's character, I think his play speaks for itself, he definitely has my MVP vote for this season. From his whining about calls (which I think he learned from a 1v1 game with Mike Brown) to his self centered post game interviews I am starting to think he is in love with himself. I've read plenty of his post game comments and this recent one has stuck out in my mind.

"That was just being confident. Being down one and taking a 3, a lot of people wouldn't have done that," James said. "I'm one of the guys who would do that. I knocked it down."
-In reference to a 3pter he made aganist the Magic at home to put them up 2 with 47 seconds left.

OK Lebron.... surrrrrre. I think there are plenty of people who would have taken that shot... I think there are at least 29 players. One on every team other than your own, Mr. James. Hell there could be even more because some teams have more than 1 star. Point being, self proclaiming yourself to greatness is by far your most selfish flaw. Any bystander can witness your greatness... nobody cares to see you gloat about it. As a matter of fact Mr. James I think I can name one player that outshines even yourself this year (when it comes to closing out big games). His name is Kobe Bryant. So before you put yourself on some throne of untouchability(don't think this is a word) try to think before you speak.

UPDATE:

Another douchebag quote:

"I think I was probably the only guy — and I'm not trying to praise myself — but I was the only guy that didn't give up on the play," James said.

If you don't want the recognition bron bron then zip it. Don't act like you are the only one going out there and giving 100%. Way to put your team down. Matter of fact remember you couldn't carry your team to a championship alone. Polarizing your team is a great way to improve the teams chemistry. +1 to you.
Thanks to alex for this quote.
