*Guest Post* - LeBaby



The Dallas Mavericks finally won their first NBA Championship and you can pretty much say all of America was supporting them, even the Laker fans who just got shocked in the western conference semifinals. Everybody respects Dirk and Kidd, and felt they deserved a championship, but there was a different reason why America rallied behind the Dallas Mavericks. LeBron James went from being one of the most loved players in the NBA to by far the most hated and criticized player around. He is the reason we all wanted Dallas to win; It wasn't because we wanted Dirk to finally get his ring but it was because we love seeing LeBron fail. 


He deems himself the chosen one and the king. He also claimed he will bring 7 championships to the Miami Heat. Lets focus on winning that first one Lebron. You cant be a king without a ring but I do believe you are the chosen one. You have been chosen to fail, to choke, and to be hated, and its all on you. 


You gave up in the Eastern Conference Finals last year, you got swept in your first finals appearance, and you could not be found in the 4th quarter of this years championship against Dallas. You claim to be the best, the most talented, and the most gifted, but in the world of the NBA you arent considered amongst the greats unless you have won championships. So who are you? Well let me tell you...






You used to talk in the third person, which is beyond annoying and exceedingly arrogant. Your whole decision process and the way you went about it was disrespectful, over the top, and just plain wrong. You had every right to switch teams and join miami, but you should have been humble about it and shouldn't have turned it into this huge ordeal.  You had a shot to back it all up by winning the finals but you failed once again. 


After the game LeBron was quoted saying : “Sometimes you got it, sometimes you don’t,” “The Greater Man upstairs know [sic] when it's my time. Right now isn't the time,” First off God has nothing to do with this, so lets discard that comment. And two, its all on you when your time is. You choked thats why you lost, its plain and simple. When MJ and Kobe one the championships it wasnt because it was there time. It was because they took over dominated and found a way to win. It was on them and they made it their time. 


A true champion goes out and grabs it, they dont wait for it to come to them. So LeBron, work on your game and study basketball as Kobe does. You are extremely athletically gifted but have a lot to work on. Work on your footwork and your post game. Become a basketball genius. Love the pressure, dominate the 4th quarter, be known as LeClutch instead of LeChoke, but most of all stop portraying yourself as the arrogant and childish man in the media. 


I have actually heard around the NBA that you are a nice guy, but why doesn't that come out in media. All we as fans hear is your cockiness, ignorance, and immature being that is LeBron. Love being loved and hate being hated, not the other way around. Maybe after all of this you could salvage your reputation, but at the pace your going at right now things are not looking too good. After the Mavs won last night twitter and facebook were instantly filled with updates. A few cheering on the Mavs, but the majority were bashing and hating on LeBron. 


You may be the first person in the NBA where people love to see you lose. People actually hop on the bandwagon of every team you play because they want to see you fail and you give them every reason to do so. Congrats on being the new NBA Champions Dallas and Congrats Lebron on being the NBA's most hated player.
