NBA fans love to harp the the young players now and it was me a little confused. All over NBA boards you have kids ripping on LeBron James for being a loser and a poor leader who can't lead. These same people praise the Dwyane Wade's and the Carmelo Anthony's all day long as winners..etc. Why is this such a big deal for young swingmen? I don't see NBA fans ripping Chris Bosh and Dwight Howard for their teams poor records.
I think the main reason people "rip" LBJ is because he has been unable to take his team into the playoffs, and you'd expect him to be able to take that team to the postseason... especially with all the hype.If they hate or rip on him for any other reason (asides from not being clutch, which is an understandable debate), they are haters.

It's because of the media.Everyone turns on espn and sees " the annointed one, King james" and blah blah blah. So people resent that and try to put him down in every way possible. The blame is on the media.

I feel that it is unfair to say someone is a loser or not a leader/not clutch so early in a career, but if you are comparing say Bron to Kobe, it definately has to be included and will go against the player.
^Same can be said for Kobe and him being next MJ. That is why these players are so hated, and players like Wade are not.

You guys post all these reason...yea. But no one has yet to mention that Wade and Mello went to college. College gives you leadership and develops you as a player. Yes Lebron is good, im not disagreeing that Wade/Mello are better than LeBron. It has nothing to do with how they play because LeBron seems to have the edge. But back to the topic why LeBron has so many haters is because their is a mind set. A mind set that you should have gone to college before you enter the NBA

Experience really has nothing to do w/ leadership abilities.
