Maybe James should think again about that number change to honor him. It’s why James never will earn the respect that was once given to Michael Jordan. Joe Hardhat, who paid a day’s wage three months ago to buy two good seats so his son could see his first Cavs game Sunday, deserves better treatment than this. James, with the blessing of Coach Mike Brown, sat out his third consecutive game Sunday, not because he was hurt, but because he wanted to rest up for the playoffs. Ok, haha, sure, that’s funny enough as it is, but Povtak takes it even further, writing: Povtak is saying that LeBron owes fans a “refund” for not playing against the Magic yesterday. After writing an article last week titled “ Howard Won’t Sit Like Kobe and LeBron”, he decided to follow that up with a completely irrational argument today. Evidently during that time he and Mike Bianchi spent some time rubbing off on each other.
Prior to joining FanHouse, he spent almost 30 years at the Orlando Sentinel. If you don’t know who Tim Povtak is, he’s an NBA writer for FanHouse.
Because of all this, people have to invent drama and feign indignance in order to be critical of him to better serve their agenda. He’s so conscious of his image that he’s almost overly cautious to say something that could be interpreted the wrong way. And all along the way he’s more or less done the right things and said the right things.
Instead, not only has LeBron lived up to it, he has so far exceeded it that he’s left little doubt to most as to who the best player in the game is. He had so much hype coming out of high school, that most people thought he could never live up to it. I’ve written this before, and I’ll say it once more, LeBron James never had a chance with the media.
