I really don't care about who won the NBA championship other than I'm glad that it was not Lebron James. I guess that makes me a LBJ hater so these comments below, that James made yesterday, to some small extent are directed at me.
"All the people that were rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. I'm going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that. So they can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal. But they got to get back to the real world at some point."
The problem I have is that Lebron wants it both ways. You don't get to reap the rewards of having your own ESPN special to announce, like some attention starved high school kid, what NBA team you are going to play for and then when you get there talk about how many championships you are going to win, and then turn around and lament the number of people to root for you to fail.
You made yourself the villain so you don't get to act like the victim now. I assume at some point James will win a championship and if he does I bet one of the first things he talks about is how he is vindicated and that all the people who didn't believe in him can shove it. If he really wanted to create fans out of those of us who like to see him fail he would take the high road and say nothing about those who take joy in his pain. Unfortunately he won't recognize his own hypocrisy and will continue to think he should be allowed to have his cake and eat it too.
