As Bernstein was fond of pointing out out over the summer of 2010, Jordan smartly moved past The Community when he came to Chicago and spent a lot of time making friends on the golf courses of the North Shore, while LeBron still entrusts lots of his business decisions to his idiot friends from Akron.

Also worth pointing out is that the Jordan narrative, one of practicing incessantly and relentlessly pushing himself to be better, is one we usually ascribe to white players. Meanwhile, LeBron is the ultimate LOOK AT HIS BODY Big Black Stud. Of course, both players have surely practiced their asses off and were/are both fantastic athletes, but the belief is that Jordan constantly willed himself into being while LeBron is innately a physical freak and just steamrolls people without having to work particularly hard at it.

Like the misplaced contempt by those who keep calling LeBron's guys idiots, while ignoring that individually they are at least as successful as anyone on this board.

You routinely mock and degrade a man who has amassed more wealth than you will see in your lifetime. You don't get to play the "Oh yeah, well Maverick Carter has more money than you!" card.

Yeah but what makes him (Maverick Carter) an "idiot" friend?

I never doubted that LeBron works hard, I said that there's a perception that it comes more easily to him than it did to Jordan because of the whole sociopathic-gym-rat thing.

I don't know, I believe JORR said it, I was merely pointing out Reader's, as usual, inconsistent logic.

Reader was responding to the "idiot" friend comment though so unless you are aware of why he stated what he stated then your comments are misplaced.

I liken Carter to Entourage's "E". He has the skills and business savvy, but needed LeBron (like Vincent Chase) to bootstrap him into The Business and keep him there for awhile until he could become self-sustaining. And like E did with Vinny Chase, Carter probably hurt LeBron's career or earning potential more than once, and had LeBron hired professionals from the get-go, he may have a few extra millions.

Please tell me where your obsession with Lebron as some nubian God came from (Don't cop out to blaming Bernstein).

It's the gayest thing on this board, and using it in a repetitive nature like you have been is... Well whatever. Do your thing.

And your last paragraph is bullshit.

You (hopefully) are smart enough to know that it wasn't Jorr that he was originally responding to. When Reader comments about Trump there is context to it. When someone refers to Lebron's friends as idiots without knowing much about them then it is fair to question that.

Ok, I'm going to make this easy for you:

Reader said it is wrong to call Lebron's friends "idiots" because those people are more "successful" than anyone on the board.

Reader makes vile remarks almost daily about a man who is cumulatively more successful than everyone on this board, and those "idiot" friends we are talking about here.

There is no context that excuses this raging hypocrisy.

As i stated before his comments about Trump always have context attached to them. He isn't saying that it is unfair to call James's friends idiots. They may well be but can anyone refer to them as that without really knowing anything about them.

If he were to call Trump that or anything else without context then it would be similar.

Hope i made that "easy" for you.

Your typical ire is on display in every race tinged post you make. And I feel comfortable in my assessment of your posting history.

And let's not get into a discussion about trumps business acumen. It's about as pointless as expecting you to honestly admit your posting motivation. Outside of the White Sox.

Have I called Lebron's friends idiots?

What have I said about Maverick Carter?

Why is it that you completely ignored the main thrust of my post in response to the Hawk, choosing instead to respond to my criticism of those so quick to dismiss LeBron's guys as idiots, or their motivation for doing so?

Because I absolutely love spanking you with your raging hypocrisy.

Still waiting on those links to evidence your assessment of my posting motivation, by the way.
