This. I see it so much more in Los Angeles, which is weird. First, what does LeBron have to do with LA? His team(s) have never been rival(s) with the Lakers.

Secondly, I always hear LeBron haters say "Decision, Decision, Decision." OK, if you're going to hate on LeBron for a poorly executed exit strategy from Cleveland, how is that worse than a player who throws his teammates under the media bus consistently (Kobe), has been reportedly not well liked by teammates (Kobe) and snitched on one of his teammates to the cops for absolutely no reason (Kobe)?

And then, Kobe fans will say, "I don't care about his off the court issues... he's a great ball player!" Well, why the double standard for LeBron? It's either you respect his game or his off the court perception... and he's greater than the beloved Kobe in both, imo.
