Yeah, because a gold-digger having buyer's remorse was totally Bryant calling attention to himself.

it is funny that Kobe fans are questioning LeBron's off the court antics...

damn the 25 year old who has hundreds of millions of dollars wants to party in Vegas in the offseason!

shame on him!

what an idiot!

and doing fake jumpers over slot machines?!

UNACCEPTABLE

HE SHOULD BE PRACTICING AND CHEATING ON HIS WIFE AT RANDOM HOTELS WITH HOTEL CONCIERGES!

WHAT A DUMBASS

DAMN

WHAT IS HE THINKING?!

GETTING PAID TO PARTY IN VEGAS AS A 25 YEAR OLD!

GROW UP LEBRON

GO RAPE SOME BITCHES!!!

ROFLROFLROFLROFL

and Kobe was or wasn't married?

hahahahahahahahahaha

holy shit

Kobe fans bashing LeBron for offseason Vegas parties...

but it's ok to cheat on your wife as long as you don't do it public!

yeah!

FAKE JUMP SHOTS OVER SLOT MACHINES = NO NO NO!

AGGRESSIVE SEX WITH HOTEL CONCIERGES WHILE MARRIED = OK AS LONG AS YOU SHOOT BLINDFOLDED JUMPSHOTS 2 HOURS PER DAY!

lololololololololololol

Like I said - if you're going to market yourself as "The Chosen One", you'd better be working on your game in the offseason.

Then again, James hasn't done it for over 1/2 a decade, why would I expect him to start now?

Yeah, lets just hold him to the same standards as second bananas like Shawn Marion and Lamar Odom. Because that's clearly what he holds himself out to be.

dodge dodge dodge dodge!

lmao

dodge some more questions?

lebron played as good, if not better than Kobe against Boston...

switch LeBron and Kobe and LeBron would have won the last two titles, too...

no problem whatsoever

I guess people don't understand that (namely because a lot of people are ****ing stupid)

but I guess 6-24 in the most important game of your life is ok...

it's too bad Ray Allen was awful because Boston would have won by 15 if he wasn't the biggest choker ever

6-24

nothing special for the entire series sans one game in which they lost anyways

I wonder what the real MVP of that series is up to this offseason (Pau Gasol) ???

I'm just saying man, if you are talking strictly on public opinion Kobe messed up far more than Lebron has in terms of PR during that period which this is all about.

Certainly, but I'm not talking about PR. From a pure PR standpoint, it took Kobe 3 years to begin to recover from the rape allegations (and he never fully recovered, though the last 2 seasons have him almost there). The PR hit was much bigger, but that's not my point.

I'm talking about his drive to be a champion, that's all I've talked about since the start of the playoffs.

LeBron is a follower. He doesn't have the heart to run his own shop. He doesn't want to be the guy that spends his summer in the gym like Kobe.

He wants to be the guy that gets to hang out with his boys and have parties in his honor. He wants to take his talents to a cabana in south beach. And he wants a shortcut to a title.

Maybe he'll get it. If so, it'll be Wade's, with LBJ along for the ride.

so is Kobe a Pau Gasol follower...

or Artest?

because I remember him passing to Artest in the biggest moment of his NBA career and Artest draining the shot

please point to 5 defining Kobe Bryant playoff moments

because I can think of 1 maybe 2

I can think of a few for LeBron, too

They're paranoid.

... and I love the House signing. He's a PERFECT fit off the bench.

LMAO Sheesus, this thread has hit rock bottom.

ATTENTION ALL PROFESSIONAL STAR ATHLETES:

LEBRON JAMES IS NOT SOMEONE YOU WANT TO TAKE CAREER ADVICE FROM

People are way to hard on LeBron. I mean this guy is getting KILLED in the offseason. And for what? Partying in Vegas? What the hell? This is just getting out of hand.

I read the "ESPN" article. So what. He's a mid 20's rich dude. What do you think he's going to do. He's not married. He can do whatever he wants. I don't understand how partying in Vegas somehow equates to being lazy or not trying to get better in the offseason. Was he making it rain $100,000 on strippers? No. Did he rape a girl in the bathroom like Big Ben? No. He's doing what anybody that likes to have fun would be doing w/ 80 million dollars.

I am pretty sure (without checking) LeBron is married...

He is making some really bad decisions. Here is a guy that went from hero to hated in less than a month. His fall maybe worse than Tigers.

who cares? he might have thought the guy was just ****ing with him.

"akron still loves you"? could have been sarcastic or could be that lebron really just doesnt give a shit
