Top 10 Reasons People Hate LeBron James

LeBron James is the best player in NBA history, bar none.
He is one of only two players to average at least 25 points, six rebounds, and six assists for his career.
He is the most versatile player the game has seen. He can guard all five positions; he can play point guard and power forward on the same offensive possession.

1 In 2010, LeBron James bolted out of his hometown. The worst part about it was that he never told the Cavaliers he was leaving until he told the world. James’ jersey was famously burned in the streets by Cavalier fans

2 LeBron is a rare superstar in the way he is constantly looking to get his teammates involved before himself. He has that Magic Johnson type of style, but many fans of today’s NBA grew up idolizing Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. Jordan and Bryant were pure scores, while James’ style is in stark contrast to those other two

3 The LeBron James hairline discussion has been a topic of controversy for several years now. It is rumored that James colors his head and hair to give the appearance of a thick, full head of hair, when really we all know he is going bald.

4 During the 2016 regular season, James expressed interest in someday joining his friends Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, and Dwyane Wade on what would be a super team.

5 James was on the cover of Slam Magazine at 15 years old and the cover of Sports Illustrated coined him as “The Chosen One” at 16 years old. His high school games were played on ESPN. He has always been a media mainstay for so long that fans of basketball began to experience LeBron fatigue.

6 It was bad enough that James decided to leave Cleveland, but when he famously took “his talents to South Beach,” fans lost their minds. He left his hometown to go to the sunny beaches of Miami and play with his best friend, Dwyane Wade

7 The nickname “King James” is one that rubs many people the wrong way. Not only has James referred to himself as “The King” on occasion, but he also has “Chosen 1” tattooed on his back.

8 Michael Jordan is widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time. Many of today’s basketball fans are loyal to MJ and in their minds, there is nobody that even comes close to the greatness of the “jump man”. Since he entered the NBA, the media has been unfairly comparing James with Jordan

9 In 2010 when James decided to leave the Cavaliers and go the the Heat, he put on a short TV special called ” The Decision” where he let the world know what he was going to do. This spectacle was unnecessary and very much in line with the “LeBron is an ego maniac” thinking.

10 It is widely agreed at this point that LeBron is an all-time NBA great. He has dominated the NBA for well over a decade and he is still doing it. The thing about a guy like James is that if he is on your team, he is likely your favorite player of all time, and on the flip side, if your team has to play against him every year, you start to hate the
