Lebron Just Keeps on Stroking His Ego

[IceCap]

At first I thought the title said "Eggo" and not "Ego" and wondered if LeBron had joined the Maple Leafs.

There wouldn't be any fun in that. Cleveland doesn't have a NHL team

You know I just posted that so I could put this and its still on topic:

I just wish people were as willing to hold people in the corporate world to the same standards that we hold athletes when affixing the label of "spoiled crybaby."

We are.

Maybe in some circles, but I definitely don't hear as much "they don't deserve their money" sentiment hurled towards businessmen as there is towards athletes. The latter is often assumed to have "earned" their salary by being "shrewd" and "go-getters."

I don't have a problem with people earning large sums of money. If you can do that legally, regardless of what your profession is, good for you. I think the problem here is the flaunting of wealth. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you necessarily should.

During the worst economic downturn in centuries would be the time to show a little awareness of the world around you and keep a low profile in regards to your wealth.

Definitely DONT do this and take a picture of it, MIKE COMMODORE:

Yes, that's definitely not showing restraint

This is an entertainer, a multi-million dollar athlete. What disturbs me more are these "fundraisers" that politicians put on to hear them blow lies out of their backsides telling the people who blindly pay these "fundraisers" what they want to hear and not telling them the truth that the politician is pocketing the money from the event and that politicians have the biggest egos and are doing nothing at all. That's more of a problem than someone paying to go to LeBron's party. LeBron's not lying to you about how he's going to improve your life and the country.

You can talk about the people who surround him... like Maverick Carter and World Wide Wes... but at what point do you say "Hey, he is 25 years old!" Just because he says "humble" 14 times per minute in every interview, doesn't mean he is actually humble. I'm fairly certain he can't define, any less spell humble. The guy is obsessed with being in rap videos and on richest athlete lists - with his ultimate goal to be the richest athlete ever. Those are the words from his mouth. The guy has put out a baby furniture line.

Now... sure, I don't think he can actually think up ALL of these crazy ideas by himself, but he does agree to them. He does promote them. He does attach his name to them.

When he made his comments about the league should contract, I actually thought his ego had grown so large that it actually started to eat itself... I was wrong. I think some people are still mesmerized by this guy. Despite his ego and general dis-concern for anyone other than himself, people still ride his pole.

ESTONES doesn't like LeBron James. Who knew?

I know I know... its gotta be a Cleveland thing. Forgot.

Anyway... I dislike him more and more for all the crap he is doing, arrogant and sense of entitlement to everything. Fans will always be bitter when players sign with different teams or what have you... but his arrogance and how every week he says something that is more bone-headed than the week before is really just adding more and more fuel. He just can't seem to get out of his own way... Just like Favre, just like Bonds... It's funny, but it just gets to the point where I can't believe we still give these guys face time.

But you're the one who made the thread about him.

What have you been reading? Did you happen to look over the 2 pages of this thread or even the title of said thread? Yikes.

You're right I didn't pay attention to who started the thread.
