Lebron James: Will Narcissism Kill the NBA?

Lebron James has always had a big head. It's partly the media's fault. They have been hyping him up since he was in high school. Through the years I've watched him cry like a baby when he loses, throw temper tantrums, and boast about his talents and abilities (even though last time I checked, his hand didn't have a Championship Ring on it). Last night's show on ESPN was a shameless narcissistic showcase. Most players would quietly make their decision of where they will be playing and then release a press-release to announce it. Not Lebron! He wanted an hour long, self-centered spectacle that culminated in his "decision" to take his "talents" to Miami. I am so sick of hearing about Lebron. I'm tired of his big-headedness. I'm tired of his self centeredness. I honestly hope that Miami doesn't get the result that they are hoping to get from their super-trio of Bosh, Wade, and James. I hope they fizzle out. Actually, I hope the Cleveland Cavaliers knock the Heat out of the play-offs in the first round. That would be awesome payback for the betrayal that "King" James put Cleveland and their fans through. Anyway, I know that NBA stars have a habit of being self-centered, and narcissistic....but Lebron took that to a new, shameless level. Shame on the NBA for allowing such a mockery of their sport. Let's quit all this hype and let your game and your abilities speak for themselves.

This is just going to make Cleveland more committed to beating the stuffing out of Miami in the future. The Ohio coach seemed pretty sure that Miami is cursed from now on as long as James is on that team.

It would be nice to see some humble guys get ahead.

I agree, he is so hyped up and I don't see the point- never have never will.
