No, I'm not angry
Well, you're doing a damn good impression of someone who is.
No, I'm not angry
Or just refer to him as "James"Perhaps we should give him a title like Little LeBron
Me too. I remember once Tim Duncan, in response to an ESPN reporter's question about why the Spurs go after a certain type of player, said "If you are selfish and after stats you can't play here". I thought that was awesome. It was so nice to see a team like that be successful. Now, the way Popovich disrespects and belittles reporters who are simply trying to do their jobs; that's another story.No, I'm not angry - I was just pointing out that as a Lakers fan, LeBron is the opponent - he is the enemy - and besides that I don't like LeBron because of his many arrogant actions both on and off the court - I thought it was ugly in the manner he handled "The Decision", I also thought it was in pour taste to walk off the court without shaking hands a few years before, I also thought he was arrogant in declaring he would win 7 championships in Miami - Really as a person - I don't see anything to like.
Now on the other hand - I really did not want to like the Spurs, the organization, Popovich or Tim Duncan, but how they handled themselves, played their game, made sacrifices for each other and considered each other - forced me to have nothing but total respect for the entire organization. Truthfully - I have more respect for Popovich and Tim Duncan than I do for Phil Jackson or Kobe Bryant. So perhaps what is missing is not that anyone hates LeBron - People in general simply don't have a lot of respect for him because of his behavior and you can't force a person to respect you. You have to earn it by treating people right.
Yes. As long as its Leclown JamesIs @ChiefsLakers67 still allowed to call him LeClown?
Well for me, the greatest of all time isn't just about the stats alone. I feel that many things like you pointed out goes along with being one of the greatest.Me too.

I will refer to him as I wish. They used to refer to Kobe Bryant by his first name, so of they don't like it - It's too badOr just refer to him as "James"
If that makes you sick, then you have some real problems. But I think most of us already knew that.
And actually, yeah. I am pretty sure most people do refer to Kanye West as "Kanye". Again, same principal.
@Montalban calls Ringo "Mr. Starr"
works for me. just wondered whyI will refer to him as I wish. They used to refer to Kobe Bryant by his first name, so of they don't like it - It's too bad
Seriously - though - In blue collar workers or professional business, yes you should refer to a person by their first and last name or Mr LeBron - and show respect - but in sports I have always seen them referred to various ways - As far as I am concerned - if a person refers to LeBron James as LeBron, James, Dumb Ass, Bitch, Asswipe, or whatever - It's not even a discussion for me.works for me. just wondered why
So how do you refer to Larry Bird or Kevin Love or Kevin McHale? I'd be willing to bet you call them Bird, Love and McHale. Tell me I'm wrong.Seriously - though - In blue collar workers or professional business, yes you should refer to a person by their first and last name or Mr LeBron - and show respect - but in sports I have always seen them referred to various ways - As far as I am concerned - if a person refers to LeBron James as LeBron, James, Dumb Ass, Bitch, Asswipe, or whatever - It's not even a discussion for me.
Most of the time I refer to the player using his first and last name. I do think it's more respectful, but I think that the important issue is clarity - If I refer to LeBron James, Kevin Love or some one else - then you are clear as to who I am talking about. I am an insurance auditor, I write and process detailed reports as part of my business, so I expect that referring to a person by his or her full name is an occupational hazard. I don't see either one as an issue in here either though - I would most likely ignore the person in here and not acknowledge them unless I want to piss them off for fun. Some of the ones in here are just too easy to mess withSo how do you refer to Larry Bird or Kevin Love or Kevin McHale? I'd be willing to bet you call them Bird, Love and McHale. Tell me I'm wrong.

How so? The NBA has always had only 2-3 teams with any chance of a title in a given year. Guys have been ring chasing forever too. Big names like Moses Malone and Kareem joined stacked teams etc. There's nothing particularly new going on now.
Is it true he makes everyone call him 'QUEEN James'?
Indeed...
lol, i dunno, man. if i HAD to deal with baldness, and thank God i don't, i'd shave all of it off...
patches, horseshoe, wouldn't have either...
Why is LeBron an enemy of Laker fans?
The Lakers had never competed against him in a game that mattered. And, there is a decent chance he plays in LA next year.
By the way, did you know that LeBron was a Laker fan as a kid?
