Can we all give this guy a break?
There has never been a more scrutinized, analyzed and criticized athlete in my lifetime than LeBron James, and it’s approaching the point of unfair because the primary reasons for the hatred hold no water.
Most people, two years later, STILL point to “The Decision” and the Miami Heat’s premature celebration as the reason that they hate LeBron. (Note the number of dislikes on that video.) Odds are good you’ve heard someone say something like, “I didn’t like the way he handled the whole thing. How could he embarrass Cleveland like that? It wasn’t right!”
But why does the blame for The Decision fall squarely on LeBron? How about some blame to his agent? Or PR people? Or family and friends? Or all of the above? Why don’t we blame all the people who advise him for not doing their jobs?
