“I spoil a lot of people with my play.”

Wow. We sure love us some me, don’t we LeBron?

That quote reminded me of those old Budweiser commercials featuring the ‘all-ego-Leon.’ You remember, he blames everyone but himself for a loss. Then smiles for the camera, so companies that look for athlete endorsements can see his great smile.

No, I’m not saying LeBron is Leon.

I am however thinking about the fact that James who seemed so polished early in his career, seems to be shedding so of the same humility, that endeared me to him to begin with.

Hey LeBron, next time just think WWJD!

WWJD

What would Jordan Do?

LeBron you used to do that.

We no it’s not really your fault sometimes when you lose. But that’s just what great leaders do. They take responsibility for the team and move forward.

This has been replaced with “I spoil a lot of people with my play,” and
“When you have three bad games in seven years, it’s easy to point them out.”

Yahoo sports writer Adrian Wojnarowski said it best;

“What have you ever won to be so smug to the masses LeBron?

Who cares where you end up next year?

You’ve only proven you can be a sore loser.

Who at times seems more focused off the court than on it.

Don’t forget, you’ve only made the NBA finals, you’ve never won them.

And you’ve only got there once. (and were swept in 4 games)

But I like you. I’m pulling for you. I think you could be the greatest ever at your sport.

But you have to win first.

And when you do, please, oh please, be as humble as you are great.

Then you’ll be a legend.
