Let’s get this out of the way right now: I am no fan of LeBron James. I’m not a hater, but I’m definitely not a supporter, either. If you watch NBA basketball, you know it’s fun to root against the Heat because they’re stacked and do stuff like this, and if I fall on any side with the guy, it’s that I’ll usually root against him in favor of an underdog, like I did with the Mavericks in the Finals last year (WE ARE ALL NOWITZNESSES). But I certainly don’t hate the guy.
Recently, there’s been a bit more LBJ hate going around than usual, probably in light of his passing up a chance to take the last shot twice in one week, despite his having an MVP-caliber season. A bunch of people have been publishing “Why does everybody hate LeBron?” articles, in which their authors appear to be baffled as to why so much hate for such a young, talented player. And people who ask questions like this are baffling to me, because in my estimation, this is an easy one.
