Has anyone else grown tired of LeBron James?

Does anyone else think the televised LeBron marathon this evening is over-the-top? Jordan never garnered this kind of attention and how many rings does he have? How many does James have?

James and his representatives negotiated a deal with ESPN that the advertising revenue from the broadcast will be donated to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

That's a lot of money for charity.

That's cool, but the unprecedented marketing of a guy that hasn't won anything is bordering on obnoxious. One could even argue that he didn't give the best effort in the playoffs this year.

Total douche bag, and I've been saying that since he entered the league. Pick a team and be done with, takes all of 15 seconds to accomplish.

he's been annoying since his high school days. That and he looks like he's older then the dinosaurs. I also do not think that he is the greatest player ever..

I'll buy that.

Did that rumor about his Mother having a fling with a teammate during the playoffs turn out to be true? [And that's why he quit on his team?]

Yes, very. Just make up your mind and let the public know. No need for a live TV event about it.

Imagine how insufferable Lebron James would be if he ever won a championship!

People hated Kobe for being cocky...except Kobe had the rings to back it up.

Does it matter to anyone that Lebron stipulated that the commercial revenue from the show tonight be donated to Boys and Girls Clubs? (About $2.5M)
