May 24, 201610 yr The level of scrutiny he faces is over the top. He brings it on himself. He's a weird dude who says and done silly things to bring the scrutiny on himself. A Lebron James press conference after a playoff loss is one of the funniest things in sports . I'd argue he is one of the least self aware athletes in my lifetime. I didn't like Kobe but he owned being the heel.
May 24, 201610 yr Definitely, and it's part of the reason he's my favorite player. I hate the "I'm just happy to be here" guys in the league. The problem is he is the heel and doesn't realize it. Not self aware at all. That is why he is scrutinized.
May 24, 201610 yr The problem is he is the heel and doesn't realize it. Not self aware at all. That is why he is scrutinized. No way. It's almost impossible to be worth as much as he is with no self-awareness. My guess is his PR people decided the best move for his brand would be going to the dark side and he committed fully to it, beginning with the decision. There was no way he could out-nice KD, and Steph wasn't really a factor then, but it paid off big time.

The whole campaign of returning home was about trying to be the good guy.

May 25, 201610 yr Lebron has to flop. Just like Shaq did. When they are the men that they are and get fouled hard but don't flinch the refs won't call the foul. If they don't flop they get punished for being able to withstand hard fouls from other players. How else will refs call fouls? Flop.
May 25, 201610 yr And to the thread, he has to lie about flopping. Players get fined for flopping. He'd be stupid to admit it.
