I'm not being facetious, I trust Jerry to know much more about this stuff than I ever will. I am just stunned if that's true. Does anyone even try to articulate a reason to "hate" him?<br /><br />Look, I rooted against LeBron all season because he rubbed Cleveland's nose in it with that ill-conceived method of departure, and because the assemblage of talent there made them seem like the Yankees or Man U. Not because I hated him, not at all. And I think others may have done the same.<br /><br />Mind you, that stuff paved the way for racists, people who hate the NBA, Jordan lovers, old people who think the set shot was still the best, and mindless losers who hate anyone and anything that others like to weigh in...Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03226312371632855194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048775.post-41878132263293024142011-06-13T20:57:33.380-04:002011-06-13T20:57:33.380-04:00Oh yeah, he certainly didn't play well in the ...Oh yeah, he certainly didn't play well in the Finals.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546802304698812963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048775.post-33921124418523942752011-06-13T20:43:13.644-04:002011-06-13T20:43:13.644-04:00On the subject, NBC/Brian Williams actually had a ...On the subject, NBC/Brian Williams actually had a piece on this tonight.

I agree that the hatred of him is irrational and doesn't make much sense considering he hasn't committed some terrible and doesn't seem to be a terrible dude at all. <br /><br />With that said, he was pretty underwhelming in the second half of each of the last two games.

It boils down to the fact that people hate LeBron James on some sort of base, subliminal level. It doesn't take a scientist to observe that. LeBron James in 2011 is the most hated sports figure that I have ever seen. More than Vick, OJ, Rae Carruth, ARod, Kobe, Tiger, Crosby, Dan Snyder, Bud Selig. Nobody even comes close. <br /><br />People just hate him. Pretty much everybody except for a few guys I know and a few dozen people that I've located on the internet. And part of hating him is trying to rationalize that hatred. So you hear a lot of tales like this one (although generally not as well-written) -- most, possibly all, of which will crumble under any logical scrutiny. But it doesn't really matter because they're going to hate him nonetheless. <br /><br />Ultimately, following sports is inherently irrational, so it may be unfair to expect a rational explanation for the way that people relate to certain teams/athletes. There is a near-universal hatred of the guy that I can't completely understand. I have spent some time pointing out various logical inconsistencies in people's points of view, but in the end those points of view belong to someone else, so I'm probably not going to have much of an effect on anything.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546802304698812963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048775.post-63046674678518514812011-06-13T15:38:46.842-04:002011-06-13T15:38:46.842-04:00Vick lost in the 1st round of the playoffs.
