ROFL because I need to be one of those to be able to tell. Maybe YOU do, but not me...but fwiw I did take a high school, and a couple of college classes, as well as a full minor in human communications. I don't want to float my own boat, but NOTHING IN THIS WORLD fazes me mentally. NOTHING. I can learn anything. Do I know everything, hell no, but alot, and anything I don't, I can learn NO PROBLEM. Back to psychology, since I learned so much in those classes (A's), I've been able to branch off and watch what they mean for the past decade and a half, pick other stuff along the way, I'm a big reader of stuff, and can spot out many things. It also helps when you ACTUALLY LEARN and RETAIN what the A grade corresponds to. Doesn't mean I know everything in psych, hell no, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist, to see a nero, especially with how EASY LeNERO makes it with HIS actions, put on FULL DISPLAY, to the world. He has a nero complex, it's sad you do not see it. Blaming me because YOU can't see it, does not mean I'm wrong because I'm not a professional at it. That's called sophistry, look it up. (also don't forget...everything is psychology now...the markets, business, it's theories, etc)
So you're saying you want a cookie for using big terms, big phrases, and dragged out responses? Or that you got A's in your psych/comm courses?
Envy? ROFL. You couldn't give me 100 million dollars to live his life. It's pathetic, any poor man is richer than him in almost every conceivable way. I can't believe you'd project envy...rofl like I envy to be ANYBODY but MYSELF. Go play 'insert idiot comment' with somebody else because those words/ideals would never come out of my mouth/be thought in my head.
Let's see who the one with the envy is. Would it be the one who uses calm, collected, factually based arguments? Or the one who cannot stop slandering and falsely psychoanalyzing someone he's never met in his/her entire life? If I did "word count" on how many times you've said, "LeNero," it probably exceeds 15. That's a conservative estimate.
What I say does describes to a degree most athletes, but LeNero is in a ****** class by himself. Seriously. A type personality? That has NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING to do with it. Does he really have A type when he needs to go to SOMEONE ELSE'S TEAM..where THAT PERSON IS THE LEADER. It's sad that on 'his team', he isn't even the leader. He defers to Wade EVERY CHANCE HE GETS. I see it every time I watch him. A REAL 'a' type would want to work and get it themselves. I think I even lip read him like, 'you all can stay in and finish this game' during this series. Yeah.
Now he's a ******?? Your Lebron analysis is very mature
And for as many times I've seen LeBron defer to Wade, I've seen Wade defer to LeBron. See, that's the great thing about basketball, it's a team sport. The problem Miami had at the beginning was developing chemistry seeing as not only did LeBron and Bosh come, but the entire roster was virtually turned over.
You have some very weird projection issues, maybe YOU'D step into his shoes, but I sure in the hell wouldn't. Fame, glory, and money, don't mean much to me, because they are all worthless in the grand scheme of things...and NO ONE 'needs' a million dollars. Maybe a business needs it. But a person? No. You need food, shelter, clothes, and a few more things, and you can get all of that for under a million.
I'd have to think about that one. I live a very good life, but I'd be curious to see what goes through the mind first-hand of a person of elite status. And who wouldn't want more money than they already have? If you've ever a) asked for a raise at your work b) gambled or c) invested money, then you've made a conscious effort to enhance your self-worth. Food, water and shelter are the bare necessities, but being that you feel the need to respond to my post with what appears to be a dissertation, self-gratification is on that short list of necessities for you.
He didn't step on my toes, I actually liked him as a player, always thought he was a dip small brained idiot, but I didn't 'hate' him UNTIL, and this is many years since I was watching him in high school on tv, UNTIL, it all came to a head and I couldn't ignore the fact that he is a complete scumbag Nero with the way he left clevelend, his whole 'take his talents to south beach' episodes, etc, etc. He forced that issue upon me, and I made a correct judgement.
He forced it upon you? So, he called you and said, "listen [insert your name], I am 'taking my talents to South Beach,' and I blame you even though you really have no vested interest?"
Sorry boss, you made the conscious decision to hate him yourself. And you are on an unfortunately long list of people who hate him simply "because." (one word that sums up your entire post).
Best for his career? Because anything one chooses is the best for their career, if they choose it? Only AFTER THE FACT can you say that...and we aren't there yet. He took the scumbag, easy route, and his career was FINE in Cleveland. A better opportunity in Miami? No, the appearance of grass is greener, 'wall-street' style 'fixed', easier time from his perspective, where he can club all night and lay around on 'south beach' all day opportunity (he's rich and there is a long offseason so....he doesn't need to live there, to club there or anywhere) . Then on top of that, he did it in such a scumbag fashion....holding meetings, doing it on an espn special. You can't lead a horse to water, and people blinded by idiocy, cannot be lead to the truth. Don't apologize for the *******, by defending him, by saying I'm being unreasonable, because it simply doesn't hold water.
Miami was a better opportunity. And I can sum it up in two words: Pat Riley. This man has orchestrated multiple championship and finals teams with the Lakers, Knicks and Heat. The slicked hair, Armani suit wearing genius has a knack for bringing in talent and creating competitive teams, even when he hands the reigns to a former intern video editor for the team.
Waste away in cleveland? You must be joking. They bent over backwards and signed those people to those contracts FOR LEBRON. What a foolish perspective. You don't even realize that. So WHEN it happens in MIAMI, expect the same scumbag to rear his head again. LeNero...it's all about HIM. You'll see. Even if they win now, it still will never satiate LeNero. Hell you can see the 'crazy' in his eyes at times. Oh also forgot, he did make it the Finals in that 'waste away' city and is still how young? He had plenty of 'time' to win.
So bringing in an aged, beat up Shaq, past his prime Jamison, and brick shooting Larry Hughes were great moves to bring in winners? This is all while not re-signing Carlos Boozer and making a more aggressive effort to get Amare. It's not a foolish perspective, but rather foolish to think that Dan Gilbert and co. were competent enough to bring players to Cleveland. James waited 7 years and carried a team on his own, yet it wasnt enough. All of the legends in the past: Magic, MJ, Shaq, Bird, etc, needed sidekicks. Anderson Varejeo was no Pippen or McHale and Mo Williams was vastly overrated. In short, it was Lebron and a bunch of role players. That's it.
Besides, he can have his money, it won't be worth squat soon, so we'll be equal on that note....ha ha ha. Glass-Steagall (like I've been saying for YEARS!!!!!)
Histrionics, much?
Rooting for a rival? Are the Suns involved? Didn't think so. I generally go for Western Conference usually (like pac-10, or even UofA [because of AZ]), and seeing how there is Terry, Marion, Kidd, and I've always liked dirk as a player, I'll root for him, instead of the great Nero where scumbagging is a way of life. I understand nuance, because life is NEVER black and white.
But you going way out of your way to root against the guy and wish failure upon him makes you look like the scumbag and megalomaniac.
So, because he is in the spotlight, he gets more cover? Sorry, I make the right decisions when the camera ISN'T on, but somehow LeNero can't make the right decisions, even WHEN the cameras ARE? But somehow we can apologize and give leeway to him, just like every other thing wrong in this country, because the camera somehow makes it harder to make the right decision? It makes it easier fwiw, he just didn't care....NERO. I could do a thesis about that one (wrong with country), but it would get too P and R for this discussion.
How do you know he didnt care? Or is that what you want to believe? See the consistency in my response? You are trying so hard to make one look like a megalomaniac, but in the process, you are acting like a spoiled brat yourself, which is basically what you are trying to sell me on about LeBron's personality. Your argument is counter-intuitive at best.
LeBron didn't take a paycut, but since people love listening and believing bs, you can keep telling yourself. Remember, NO state income TAXES in MIAMI = more take home, for less. Plus bigger endorsement opportunities, new jersey sales, but regardless, until the hyperinflation/hyperdeflation hit, he is fine with ANY amount of money, and it's just more needless numbers in his account, which again is a sign of NERO....because they 'mean' so much to him. It's about prestige, more than 'feeding his family'. I love people that use bunk metrics akin to the BLS.
So, MJ should have never signed the largest one-year contract in the history of professional sports because that would be a sign of being a "Nero?" Wow, dude. You just summed up all professional athletes in one post.
Michael Jordan's personality is NOTHING like LeNero's. You say LeNero is like this or that, but again what LeNERO did set a horrible precedent, that NONE of these guys would ever do, and quite frankly many came out and bashed him for doing it. If he WAS such a competitor, he wouldn't of gone to Miami. It's also why even if he is on the best teams rigged style in Miami, another city after this contract, so on and so forth, this idiot will NEVER match jordan, because he doesn't have the heart and will in his whole body that Jordan had in his nut hair.
So do you think that after getting pummeled for years by the Pistons and Celtics, MJ would have stayed without Pippen, Horace and Phil Jackson coming to town? Honest question.
But it's all about rings, right? So much so that he did what he did....NERO anyone? Sure in a vacuum, you want to win, but so much so to his ego that he needed to screw everyone else like he did in the fashion he did? Your arguments are completely apologetic to someone who doesn't deserve it. Because his goal is to be able to talk with the 'greats' and out do them, yet he's never won one yet? What makes him think he'll ever be in that circle...given that he's never won one yet. NERO.
How is my opinion apologetic? It's a simple emotionless assessment of the guy. I dont particularly care if he fails or succeeds. It doesn't dictate how my day goes. But the real issue is your obsession for him failing. It's kind of sickening.
I wish against him, because I'm sick and tired of losers with loser mindsets rigging the game and screwing everything up. Like LeNero, like wall street, like our fraudulent debt based imperial monetary system...and everything involved with it....which happens to be everything...even leading to both the NBA and NFL labor troubles. LeNero is a microcosm of what's wrong in this world. So yeah, when I see people who actually deserve to win, let alone going against this idiot, which compared to LeNero is everybody else...not to mention Bosh is a 'follower' as well, I will root against such losers....and do so proudly and emphatically.
Hmm.....so we've come all this way calling LeBron a "Nero" and I find this "Nero-type" statement. I would start going back and deleting your posts, because you have just made a hypocrite out of yourself.
To summarize, you hate him for something you have little to no vested interest in, think that the Glass-Steagal act is going to bring him to your level, and will cheer against him so loud and proud for the rest of his career.
I think we found our true Nero, "NeroFans88"
