Yea, I've never been heavy on this Lebron to NY stuff.
But if he helps the team win, I can accept that ( I mean...who wouldn't?
)
Sorta like Ska not being a Kobe fan but being a Laker fan.

This is the truth, at least regarding my opinion. I have nothing against LeBron as a person. He seems decent enough and nothing he does reallymakes me hate him unlike KG or Paul Pierce. Its the dang hype machine that annoys me. Its articles like this: http://www.cbssports.com/columns/story/11788957 that annoy me.

I think the overhype has created a bit of a backlash. No one can deny with a straight face that Lebron is already a great player, but the hype generated aroundhim adds to the level of "hate" he receives from a lot of people. Add to that the perception that Lebron gets treated with kid gloves more than anyother current basketball player out there and it contributes a lot.

Any you gets hyped to no end and you don't deliver people will hate.
Its why I hate Kobe and why people hate Lebron.

I don't think he has, at least not yet.
Well, lately, Cavs threads have been getting the attention that Lakers threads usually get after the Lakers lose.

i dont like the media's portrayal of him. Not to mention his arrogance is sky high. He's still an amazing player though

I am happy to see him lose because of the all the hype he's got. but i don't hate him. i hate the media jamming him down our throats, and how the refsbail him out. But unlike Kobe haters, I'll admit LeBron's a great player, most talented in the league now, and he seems like a descent person/familyman.

Would there be this amount of hate if he wasn't on the team w/ the best record in the regular season?
Clearly, winning isn't the only factor.
We weren't over saturated with images of those players the way we have been with Kobe and LeBron. Still, Dirk and AI had haters coming after them those seasons.
It's just hard to remember the hate on Dirk because he played all of zero playoff games as the MVP.
AI felt the love for a season, but fans have just been doing all they can to prop him up in comparison to Kobe since then.
Think about it, there are no "cocky" fans or conspiracy theories if Kobe and 'Bron aren't on the best teams.
Underline: Again, I disagree. This was at the height of AI's prime. The Sneakers, thecommercials (with Jadakiss or the spin-move commercial), the rap album ("it's Jewelz time....")... AI was EVERYWHERE (in terms of marketing) andLOVED when he won his MVP. And that love didn't just last for 1 season as you say. It's only now in recent years that people have started to"hate" or dislike AI.
I honestly think the correlation started with MJ to Kobe and now Kobe to LeBron.

I don't hate LeBron.
I just dislike some of his fans (on here), how the media overexposes him and what he gets away with on the court.

I'll co-sign my dude SHUGES on this one. There's a ton of reasons, too.
- Lakers fans + Kobe Stans = A lot of people. Especially on NT.
- A lot of Knicks fans want to see him not win a 'ship because they think it gives them a better shot at him come '10. See: Nate Rob's Twitter
- outtacontrol has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, and in turn, they root against the Cavs/Lebron.
- A lot of people are turned off by the hype machine. The commercials, ESPN, analysts, etc.
- And a branch off of that, there's a lot of people who don't appreciate how Stern, the refs, etc seem to give dude special treatment.
Personally, as each year goes on, and how his game progresses, I find myself being a fan of the dude.
Lebron
Kobe

no way has he surpassed Kobe in that regard
Kobe will always be the most hated
he gets hated on for the way he walks, talks, chews gum, facial expression, drinks gatorade, laughs.......it never ends
people take it to a personal level with Kobe.....this hasn't happened with Lebronze, other than the Quagmire jaw

AI was EVERYWHERE (in terms of marketing) and LOVED when he won his MVP. And that love didn't just last for 1 season as you say.

I am going to have to say no to that. AI was hated on. Not early on in his career, but when it was clearly evident that he would be a perennial bottom dweller,people start to question his leadership and his commitment. That caused the hate. Then his team won and his team ended up in the finals. He was loved. Winningcures all.
Now look at him. He leaves the Nuggets and they get into the WCF sofar. He goes to the Pistons and they hover or go below .500 with him in the lineup. Whathappens next? He's out with back aches, just like in Philly. Same ole Iverson. Difference? He was on a winning team.

I don't understand this logic though. Even with my dislike for Kobe, I can SEE why the media is all over him at times. Shoot, if a man scores81 points, what do you guys want the media to do??
If a man hits a game-winner in the playoffs with 1 second left, what do you guys want the media to do??
Iguodola got his love... Turk got his love... Guys will get the accolades when they hit big shots or have big games.
When Tony Delk dropped 50 points, ho-hum... it gets talked about for 1 day and then we move on.
So what's the difference between the Tony Delks, the Andre Iguodolas, and the Hedo Turkoglus and the Brons, Kobes, etc?
Well one reason players like LeBron, Kobe, Jordan, etc. get the over-saturated, week-long highlights is b/c they have consistently shown that they are great players.
People hating on these guys for their skill is wild to me.....
And yeah franchise... I agree with all of those points.

On NT clearly, IMO dude has surpassed Kobe in terms of hate.
Don't get me wrong, Kobe gets a lot of hate, unwarranted a lot of times, but the dudes who disliked Kobe, were the ones who disliked him for a long whilenow.
Lebron on the other hand, a lot of people who have disdain for the dude, didn't really have it last year or the year before. Maybe not even until thisyear/playoffs. Throw in how he's on a superior team now, which fuels some of it and it is what it is.
