LeBron James has been in the public eye since he was a teenager in high school. All this exposure over the last twenty years and it still hasn’t been enough to satisfy his unparalleled need to be praised. Not since Michael Scott have we seen someone with this thirst to praised. All year his team has played like crap, and now he’s playing great at the end of the year and wants everyone to know about it on social media. He’s posting all his good plays so all the LeBron lovers can soak it up (Great TPR), but not mentioning that his team got smoked in the game. The funny thing is I think he believes he’s fooling people.
The latest narcissistic exploits came when the Cavaliers played the Miami Heat. The outcome of the game was that the Cavs stink. They got blown out by the mediocre Heat team and were dominated by my fellow long-haired white man, Kelly Olynyk. Just another twenty-point loss for the Cavs this season. A season, in which LeBron just wants to talk about how good he is, nothing new for Cavs fans this season. His quote may have reached new heights of his narcissistic career. After getting blown out by an average team, all he wants to talk about is the MVP since it’s so obvious he’s not going to win it this year He’s upset about it, so he tries to persuade voters by pleading his case.
LeBron to @AP on MVP race: "I would vote for me. The body of work, how I’m doing it, what’s been happening with our team all year long, how we’ve got so many injuries & things of that nature, guys in & out, to be able to still keep this thing afloat, I definitely would vote me."

THIS FREAKING GUY! I CAN’T STAND HIM!
“What’s been happening with our team,” he says! You mean you ran the second-best player on your team out of town? You mean the players they did bring in couldn’t play with you either? Going at all of your teammates passive aggressively on social media? Or do you mean being in the joke that is the Eastern Conference and still having a poor record?
“Keeping this thing afloat,” what an ass. Basically what he means is everyone that played for the Cavs this year sucked except for him. What a great teammate that is. This man just continues to be all about himself and nothing else.
This was just icing on the cake over the past couple months. He said he’s “aging like fine wine.” He said one of his dunks “will go down in history.” Also similar to the other night, when the Cavs were blown out by the Lakers, all he cared about after the game was posting his no-look pass. Those are all things people are supposed to say for you or about you, not about yourself. To LeBron, everything is about him.
I hope James Harden gets a unanimous vote for MVP, and his speech is simply…”Eat it LeBron.”
P.S. – Talking about keeping the ship afloat? How about Gordon Hayward going down in the first game of the year, and Kyrie Irving still bringing the Celtics to the second-best record in the East. That’s keeping a team afloat.
