Bron Bron Waxing Poetic How Winning His 3rd MVP Would Put Him Aside The Alltime Greats….Besides That Pesky Little No Title Thing
MIAMI — Since he was a young teen and he pasted hand-drawn pictures of Michael Jordan on his bedroom wall, LeBron James has been fascinated with the superstar players who came before him. It has given him a sense of history of the game that shapes his viewpoint and his aspirations. Right now, one of them is to join that group of Hall of Fame players. In the final week of his ninth regular season, James has emerged as a strong contender to win his third Most Valuable Player Award. If he wins, he would be just the eighth player in history to win it three times. James is fully aware of this historical context. “It would mean a lot, honestly, it would mean a lot,” James said. “If I’m able to win it this year it would be very humbling knowing the caliber of guys who have won it three times.” At the start of this season James made it a goal to return to playing with more enjoyment instead of the anger and resentment he felt had replaced it during his first season with the Heat. Winning the MVP, James said, would be an indication that he was back to being himself. “It would be gratifying to know that just one year removed from what I came from,” James said. “I’m just back to playing the way I play the game, with a lot of fun and a lot of joy and just not proving anything to anyone. Last year I felt I had to prove something to people. I have no idea why. But I got to that point and it took me away from why I love the game so much and I why I love the NBA. I got away from that. “This year I got back to my seven years in Cleveland, my four years in high school and when I first picked up a basketball at age 9. That’s why I’m more excited about where I’m at today.”

Is this vintage Bron Bron or what? He is just so fucking oblivious to the rest of the world . I mean how stupid do you have to be to sit there for 20 minutes talking about winning your 3rd MVP and not once mention winning a title. Not once say you’d trade all your personal accolades for a ring. It was such a no brainer I had to re-read it to make sure I didn’t miss it. It’s like the thought never even crossed his mind. He’s so egotistical he can’t even see the giant pink elephant standing on his head. He just don’t get it.
Well let me break it down for you Bron Bron. You can win 9,000 MVP’s dude and you’ll still be a loser. You’ll still never be in the same category as those other guys on the list. You know why? They all have titles and most of them have them in bunches. They were all guys that carried their teams on their back. All guys that played their best in big games and in big moments. In other words they are the opposite of you. Because not only haven’t you won anything, but you literally disappear in the clutch. You are Captain Regular Season. So congrats on your MVP trophies and zero titles. The mark of a true fraud.
If peeing your pants is cool, consider me, Lebron James
Lebron James, the Peyton Manning of the NBA. Well, kind of, I guess Manning did get 1 fluke ring that year against the juggernaut Rex Grossman and his bears.
his momma is a whore. for reals. Crazy ass Delonte West fucked her.
I know this is common knowledge, and old news… but I just love reminding people on every Lebron post on barstool.
Having a momma who is a whore is the biggest insult ever. Did he ever meet his daddy? Was his momma too busy blowing guys for crack?
@mandudebro — Peyton Manning knew when to keep his mouth shut. Peyton knew how to conduct himself with class off the field. And I fuckin hate all things Manning. Just don’t compare this punk ass entitled motherfucker to Peyton Manning. Lebron is more like Ryan Leaf without the massive failures.
Is this vintage pres? Writing his 1 millionth story about how he hates Lebron even though the previous 999,999 were the exact same?
prez did lebron bone the first lady or something? this is the most innocuous comment hes ever said
mandudebro, At least Manning is a respectable player. LeBron is just an arrogant piece of shit, who will never win a title if he continues to conduct himself the way he does.
hey pres, know what would be cool? if you could write a blog half this long about how the BOSTON celtics won the division title last night
Dwight Howard is giving Lebron a serious challenge to his NBA’s biggest dickhead title. Latest from Orlando, Dwight saying he won’t play in the playoffs if Stan Van Gundy is coach.
Is he really good enough to win another MVP? Is there somebody decent enough they could give it to just to make him look dumb?
I stopped watching the NBA a few years ago.
And Portnoy winning titles doesn’t automatically make a player great. So Dan Marino is not with the greats cuz he never won? Karl Malone doesn’t deserve to be in the conversation? If winning a title is all that matters then Trent Dilfer deserves to be in the conversation
Can’t he pay someone to tell him how the real world works?
Yesterday in the news Lebron was talking to kids about the importance of going to college. Today I heard he is giving a self help class on how to be modest.
Chill the fuck out Pres. The kid just turned 27 years old. Jordan didn’t win any titles until he was that age. Bron will win a few by the time he retires. Fucking relax chief. It’s gonna be okay.
i hope Lebron orders a $50k customized 3-time MVP cake just in time for Stern to hand the trophy to Durant
ya Peyton Manning is part retard, and i hate him, but Lebron is much worse….no comparison.
you people have no idea what you are talking about. The no title thing and the whole he cant win in alone is absurd. First of Lebron is 27 years old and Jordan won his first when he was 28, bet you didn’t know that. The whole can’t win it by himself is so stupid, look at the people on the list. Wilt won his title with the lakers with Jerry West and Elgin Baylor. Thats 3 HOF pretty sure the Heat have 2. Jordan had Pippen and Rodman. Kareem had Robertson with the Bucks and then Magic, Mcadoo, and Worthy with the Lakers. Then Bird had a bunch of HOF with McHale, dennis johnson, and parish. Russell and cousy. I could go on and on. Everyone shits on Chris bosh about how bad he is (even though he would easily be the 1st or 2nd best player on most NBA teams). LeBron is no different than any of these other guys. This is coming from a Celtics fan.
^you can’t compare him to MJ…Jordan was a winner, he WANTED the ball at the end of the game…Lebron doesn’t have the mental makeup, he’s afraid of failure…quitting against the Celtcs a few yrs ago was a disgrace
sturdywings. only thing is MJ didnt come into the league at 17-18 years old, he was 21, and his 2nd year he was out basically the whole year. Granted, they wasnt going to win anything that year, but thats still development, experience etc. And btw I wasn’t comparing Mannings personality to that of Lebrons, obviously. Jesus, they arent close in that regard, i just meant regular season allstars an no clutch gene, not personality. Settle down, children.
Most unlikable, dilussional, egomanical idiot to ever play professional sports.
I am saving my LeBron story for when I have few minutes to write it.
17 points in 5 minutes in the 4th is pretty clutch in my opinion. Yeah it was against the Nets but it doesnt matter. thats unreal.
Some of the best athletes in their sports never won titles. Dan Marino, Ted Williams, Reggie Miller, the list goes on. Make no mistake, you might not like him, but Lebron will definatly be considered one of the best ever when he retires.
Last seasons finals, that was pretty clutch wasnt it? yea, lets count 1 game against the nets. Super clutch, bro.
SturdyWings are you serious? BTW everyone knew MJ didn’t win til he was older, but the fact is MJ had a game that could transition til he was in his mid 30′s. Lebron can’t shoot and his talent stems from being bigger,faster,stronger then everyone. He will not have the longevity as MJ or Kobe who can shoot much better then him. He has no excuse for not wiining last year. To not win with that team coming off everything in the offseason and the way he quit against the Celts is just something nobody will forget. MJ and Kobe and the other assassins would never let that happen. Lebron lacks that competitive fire, and so does Dwight. Stop smiling on the court and get mad, get mad, do you hear me you fuckin faggots
Hierarchy of pro athlete douchebaggery
1. NBA
2. MLB
3. NFL
4. NHL
I could see MLB and NFL being debatable, but NBA and NHL are locks in their spots.
sturdywings – Are you really using a performance from a regular season game against the NETS as proof that Lebron is clutch? Are you fucking kidding?
man, if only boston sports fans could get a nice dose of boston sports blogs instead of the same old casual fan lebron shit. c’s clinch division, caps continuing to bitch and whine leading up to this game tonight, and sox continuing to blow…i hate to say it cuz KFC is such an unlikable and grotesque fag but I wish he was the boston writer instead of novice portnoy
Those players listed have over 30 titles between them. Lebron doesn’t want any part of hard work, which is why he has been dispatched by the Celtics twice, a hungry Dallas team last year, and a smart Spurs team in his firsr Finals.
Iron Eagle- You are spot on with the list, you wouldnt even recognize a pro NHL player beacuse they look and act like a common man, with only a few outliers such as Crosby being a crybaby and Bryzgalov being an absolute space shot. Oh, and I hate Lebron more than any other athlete on the planet, maybe as much or more than evil world dictators. I hope he never wins a title. You know if the Heat are down in a series he is going to give up and whine like the fucking bitch he is. I hope he understands that 99% of people other than Heat fans absolutely hate him and route for him to fail, which he always does when the games actually mean something.
WNBA draft running diary:
http://thenineroute.blogspot.com/
whether you like it or not hes the best in the league and one of the best of all time. just deal with it pres
gaygayreddick- LeBron can’t shoot? his career average from three is better than MJ’s. and slightly worse than Kobe’s. Your game changes when you get older. Kobe was pretty atrocious from 3 for some part of his early career (i remember he shot like 25% from three one year), but as he lost some of his legs, his jumper really began to develop.
People really underestimate his basketball skills, his court vision is unreal better than most point guards in my opinion. He can defend anyone, he has shutdown Derrick Rose in games and can cover some of the better PF in the game.
And you call Luke Scott obsessed? Dude get the fuck over this Lebron obsession. He was asked a question he answered it. Yet he is suppose to talk about not having a ring yet at only 27 for you.
Remember when you gauranteed the celtics would beat the heat last year and it was because Lebron is a born loser? Then Lebron went and single handily best the celtics himself? Then you went dead silent on everything until 5 seconds before the beat lost to the mavs? How about you live up to your word for once pageviews?
Are people seriously complaining about Portnoy not writing about the Celts winning a division title? A division title, are you fucking kidding me?
All anyone needs to know about that oblivious douchebag Lebron is that he stopped wearing 23 to honor Michael Jordan and basically said that nobody in the NBA should wear that number out of respect. Ok, good enough. Then, he goes and decides to wear 6. Bill Russell’s 6. Bill Russell, the guy who has won more rings than anyone in team sports. Bill Russell, the first Black coach in not only the NBA, but in all of the 4 major pro sports. Bill Russell, who endured all kinds of racism both at home (not only Boston, but his actual home in Reading, MA) and on the road. Bill Russell, who marched with MLK Jr.
If there has ever been a more clueless, self absorbed idiot in pro sports, I don’t know who it is.
Many Hall of Famers don’t have rings…and plenty of fucking schmoes do.
Using whether or not a player won a title as the determining factor for how good he was is kind of stupid. Some HoF players known among the best at their position either never won a title (Ewing), or only won titles because of someone else (David Robinson).
That said, Lebron is a huge gash and he should be ridiculed for whatever reason anybody can come up with.
his momma is still a whore!
Anyone who compares the careers of LeBron and Jordan is completely oblivious and judges the caliber of a player by their box scores. Congratulations, sturdywings, you are the dumbass of the day.
the NBA is the only sport where individual greatness can be measured by championships. 1 great player can carry a team to a title with a couple good complimentary pieces. name an all-time NBA great that never won a ring, and i’ll show you a vastly overrated player.
always love the lebron posts pres. to everyone else, yea lebron might be a great player in the regular season. but when it’s crunch time in the playoffs he disappears, then when he loses he acts like a little bitch. the man doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘humility’
mannyspooptowel- i said one thing about stats bro and it was about 3 point shooting, how else to you talk about three point shooting?
Sturdy, wasn’t just talking about that stat. I mean in general, the only reason anyone would compare LeBron and Jordan are the regular season stats they put up. How about being a leader? Playoff performances in the clutch? Performances in the clutch in general? Lebron is a regular season stat stuffer who comes up lame on big stages. Sorry.
Give it a break Felger. Now the guy shouldn’t wear 6 also? Fuck man, I’m not a Lebron fan, but the ridiculous level that some of you go and just blindly find the titiest thing about him then blow it up is insane. Let it go. He went to play for the Heat over staying in Cleveland. He didn’t commit murder
youre right sturdy. bron is better than MJ, he can shoot the 3 1.5% better, sorry.
B Dub, you don’t get it, Lebron made it a big fucking deal that he was not wearing 23 anymore. He drew attention to it. He said nobody should wear 23. He could have gone and picked any other number than 6, and nobody would have batted an eyelash. Shit, he had 98 other numbers to choose from. Instead, like the shithead he is, he decided to wear 6. If any number deserves to retired leaguewide, it is Russell’s 6.
mandudebro- show me where I wrote LBJ was better than MJ
mannyspooptowl- I know what you are saying, but LBJ has had plenty of games when he has been clutch the media just likes to talk about the ones he hasnt done well (which is a good amount)
Lebron fans like B Dub are hilarious. LeBron beat the Celtics by himself? You’re fucking kidding, right? Even though Wade played a much better series? Go fondle your LeBron Fathead and pretend gives a shit about any of his “fans”.

one of the most clutch performances of all time
Besides his momma being a flipping whore, Lebron’s problem is his lack of education. I repeat myself on every Lebron post, but here is goes again…….
He skated all through high school, being a 6’5 freshman crushing it on the court made his life easy. He never had to try, he was destined for basketball at a young age. He never went to college. Never had to try real hard.
He has the talent and physical gifts to be great, but his mind never developed.
Look at Jordan, he was cut in high school. Worked his ass off in college to get drafted, and have the mental toughness to be one of the best of all time. Same with Larry Bird, dude was driving a garbage truck in Indiana during his teenage summers. He knows what it means to work hard.
Even Kobe Bryant, someone who went to the NBA from high school has the mental toughness, thanks to his father. Kobe’s old man actually raised his kids, and took care of his family, and he played in the NBA and Europe. Kobe’s dad made up for the lack of his college education, he taught his son how to compete.
Lebron is a mental midget. I remember him absolutely crushing the playoffs against the Pistons early in his career with the Cavs, but since then, he is just concerned with the paycheck and hosting parties at the club.
Lebron needs a season off due to injury, something that would sideline him for a season, and make himself reflect and actually work hard and not rely on the gifts he got.
If Lebron had the mental toughness, he would be unstoppable. But thank god, he is a fucking idiot.
I know this is a repeat of many posts I write about Lebron, I am so disgusted by his attitude and his influence on the ghetto youth.
You wanna see clutch studywings? Try 13 points in 35 seconds, enough of this bullshit against the nets. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3EqY5gPrcU&feature=fvst
I’m using “Captain Regular Season” every time anyone fails at anything, ever. Gaygayreddick, nice Glengarry reference.
the video i posted was not that, it was lebron scoring 29 out of 30 points for the cavs in the 4th quarter and OT in Game 5 of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals against one of the best defensive teams in the league at the time
and btw tmac is my boy
Listening to you oblivious window lickers talk nba is like watching retards fuck.
1. Celtics winning another division title should have been lead NBA story. You’re a Boston blog supposedly Portnoy.
2. Everyone on that 3 MVP list has won at least 1 title, and did it before or when they won their 3rd MVP.
3. You can’t justify being ringless and a top 5 all time great in basketball, since a single player can take a game over completely. Marino can’t control what the Dolphins do on defense, Ted Williams can’t control his team’s pitching.
4. MJ never won til 28, but he also didn’t enter the league until 21. Bron at 18. So the comparison fails. Bron’s had 3 more shots at a title.
5. Hire a fucking Celtics writer Portnoy, just because Pierce and Garnett won’t give you blowies on twitter doesn’t mean that the C’s should take a backseat to some douche with no rings.
Billups was guarding LBJ, enough said. I wish i was 6’9 260 with a 6’3 200 guy on me. Prince was on him at 1 point. Prince is about 180 soaking wet. They may have played good team d, but there was a definite mismatch when someone was matching up with lebron and cleveland knew it.
B Dub if you don’t understand why LeBron shouldn’t wear number 6 you are the fucking dumbest. Russell is by far one of the all time greats, man has more rings than fingers. he could put one on his dick and fuck leBum’s mom with it but he would never do that because he is a true gentleman who understood how much hard work paid off. 17 points in 5 minutes is impressive but what isn’t impressive is not realizing that he can do that all the time if he just tried all game and the fact that the Nets had 3 d-leaguers in that game makes those plays forgettable
