He gets one call missed and everything is mayhem?? Missed calls happen all the time, it’s just one, stop crying about it it’s one game.

It was pathetic. He was laying on the court literally crying about the call like a spoiled little brat. Best part of all was when his teammate came onto the court with a camera to show the ref the foul. Needless to say, he got T'ed up. That was priceless!

MJ and Kobe would both have been losing their minds if they didn't get that obvious call.

I agree 100% they both would have lost it. However, I don’t think it would have been the same theatrics. I will paste a link of a similar situation with Jordan. He definitely lost it but immediately went off on the ref. This warrants a technical for sure. They were both right to be angry and both wrong for the way they handled it. Jordan should have been tossed and T’d up and Lebron should have been on the set of days of our lives.

Humility is completely lost on this dude. Sure do wish he'd learn to shut up.
P.S. Jordan would run circles around Lebron.

Lebron is just awful. So whiny about everything, incites hatred racially, brags about his own statistics. If he'd just shut up, he'd be much more widely respected.

You don't think he cares what people think about him? The guy is so self-absorbed, that's about the only thing he cares about.

The sports world (ESPN) has put him on a pedestal not only for his basketball abilities but his liberal rants also. He puts a ball through a hoop. That is all he has the qualifications for. He has taken on the liberalism of ESPN and some of their racist announcers. Just my opinion.

He also tried to invoke riots and violence again a white police officer that killed a black girl...who was trying to kill another black girl. Once video evidence came out of what really happened, I think he went silent. I don't recall him ever addressing his comments or apologizing.
He has a huge following, obviously, and crap like that can really ignite communities. He just needed his name in the spotlight...complete narcissist.

He's been placed on a pedestal as if he has anything to offer the world other than whining, illiteracy and helping ruin the idea that basketball is a team sport. Not that I don't care for the guy or anything.

Physically I think LeBron is not only the GOAT, but the greatest male athlete of the last century.
The guy really could have been a tremendous asset to any or all sports if sports were still used to find commonality in our society. But they aren’t. Today sports are used as a wedge by which the “underprivileged” millionaires of all races, genders and tweeners further divide us by pretending their chosen identity groups are more disadvantaged than their fans’ groups—so not only are the wealthy patrons expected to pay the lofty salaries, but also buy the licensed apparel, support the sponsors, and provide scholarships to the next generation of disadvantaged kids who don’t want to read and write.
The USWNT said it best: after their first ESPY they proclaimed themselves to be “more than just women” because they were professionals, too. After their second, they proclaimed themselves to be “more than just athletes”, because they were women, too. In short, whatever you think they are, you’re wrong, because your prejudice is holding them back.
LeBron doesn’t need my support nor my fandom, but in spite of being the greatest male athlete of the television era, to me he will always be the biggest missed opportunity for our society. Considering how divisive he has been politically, how cowardly he has been to currently oppressed people internationally, how arrogant he has been toward his own teammates, and how petulant he has been among his own peers, I don’t even consider him to have been a net improvement to his own sport. That’s utterly shameful. You can’t be considered the GOAT if you leave your sport culturally worse than you found it, after making hundreds of million$ off of it.

the best male athlete of the last century. I think it's debatable, but would like to understand the criteria.

Entirely subjective.
His workout regimen is unworldly.
He is so gifted physically—size, speed, coordination, motivation—that I think he could have been a successful professional in any number of alternatives to basketball.
You won’t find a 6’9” man alive who is faster in a dead sprint. But the sport of basketball is more about first-step quickness than sheer speed, and he’s a little lacking in that. But what he lacks in quickness he makes up for with his bulk and bully-ball mentality. In his early 30’s he had to re-invent his 3-point shot after his game had begun to flatten out, and Steph had replaced him as the greatest current player. So at age 38 or 39 or whatever, LeBron can still beat you in any of a dozen ways.
I also think Lrbron worked to prevent the evolution of the NBA game away from the American inner-city style (which rewards size and athleticism) to the Warriors’ ball-movement style that rewards smaller and quicker but overall less athletic performers. I think it was an entirely racist effort to protect the league from going Asian and keep it ‘entirely’ a conduit out of the hood for American black kids. He wants Chinese money from television rights but doesn’t want the game to adapt to an Asian style of play.
That’s why I think his net benefit to the game could actually be negative. Because of the Warriors’s success and their cross-cultural fan base, the NBA could have made serious diplomatic and cultural effects in the Pacific Rim countries but they chickened out in order to keep their previously poor but emerging multimillionaires happy, even though they will never be “happy”.

Lebron has been increasingly convincing of becoming the goat in basketball in my opinion due to his longevity and now certain to become the all time leading scorer within the next few games.
In relevance to politics, you must perceive his outspokenness as courage to be that type of leader. And while I do not agree with everything he believes, I admire that consistence of outspokenness. Not to turn this into a big rant about racism and such, but from his perspective he is in the position in which many African Americans sincerely wish they were in to be able to speak to their history in the sports world.
For example Kareem Abdul-Jabar. He may be considered by most the goat for certain reasons, but he was also very unfriendly with media (as many people who are bombarded by the press are). So I believe Lebron may be trying to flip the ###### in that respect and simply show how to boldly voice opinion. It’s very difficult to do on a day to day basis as he does.

b/c he's the Goat Diva, a 2 faced backstabber w/ a delicately crafted public persona; in reality he's a heavyweight "orthodox" racist on the scale of any grand dragon or devoted follower of neo-nazism-not to mention ESPN has acted as his personal campaign
manager/press secretary for the last 2 decades-

It's not about the missed call, it's about the childish adolescent behavior afterwards.
