Please understand not hate him as a human being, nobody here knows him so that is not what I am talking about. But, what makes you want to see him fail?
For me it is the pathetic young kids who never saw MJ play, trying to say he is in MJ's class. And here are some other reasons... Because the cocky bastard said winning with this STACKED team would be
easy, maybe because after he left a city he promised a championship he
laughed in their face creating a public spectacle, maybe because we are
all waiting for the not 1, not 2, not 3 championships. Maybe because when they lost last year he pointed out how everyone else can go back to their miserable lifes while he goes back to his plush lifestyle. If LeBron was
humble he would not get hated on as much, but he thought he could stack a
team and not have to earn a ring....now it is fun to watch justice and reality prevail.
That's my take anyway.
He
is over-rated. lacks killer instinct and passion, and after he loses
you will see how much it just does not bother him....pathetic!

I don't hate him at all. But if you run your mouth about a winning all those future championships, his salary more than compensates for the "hate". And he knows this.

Predicting 6 or 7 rings kinda sets you for critism.
yeah--he should be regretting opening his big mouth, now he might never win just one and will end up his career as a great athlete and a bigger What if...

Immature kid that never got to experience growing up in college. This is what happens when you are coddled since you were 13 years old. All of high school he was touted as being the best player we will ever see. All anyone ever told him was how great he was and compared him to the greats without winning anything. He's made 100s of millions of dollars and hasn't grown into a mature man yet. I think last season's failures humbled him a bit, but until he gets at least 1 ring he will always have an * towards his achievements. People hated how he abandoned his city and team the way he did on national television. They hate his ignorance of the way he conducts himself on the court, and they hate the way he went to play with his two buddies in South Beach. He was the most loved superstar in the NBA and in a matter of a few minutes turned into the biggest villain. Now they are one loss away from potential breaking up the "Big 3," which would be the best thing for Lebron's career. And it's just too bad because he seems to be a really good guy in general and wants everybody to love him like people love Jordan. Maybe one day people will, but for now it is really fun and entertaining to root against he and his team.

I thought he resigned with Cavs once? You are of the the opinion he should have stayed there his whole career and continued to make millions for Gilbert only for them to bring in no one to help win?

He didn't have to have his own special on National Television to announce he was leaving Cleveland. Get real, brother. Don't defend this man. And they didn't bring in anyone to help Lebron? How about Mo Williams, Shaq, Jamison, Ben Wallace?

I understand people complaining about "The Decision" spectacle but he was able to raise over 2 million from sponsorship ads that was donated to The Boys and Girls Club.

Nobody hates him in the sense of literal hate. He isn't a Sandusky or anything. He seems generous to kids in Akron. There's no stories of beating up his wife or kids. And he seems supportive of his mom and extended family.
That being said, he's incredibly arrogant. The Decision. "Not 1, not 2..." And everything else that others have mentioned here. That's why it's fun watching him fail.
I hate the Celtics. Despise them. I'd hate to see them advance. But I'd chuckle @ the schadenfraude of seeing LBJ get another year of comeuppance.

IIRC, Lebron also made $1m or so as an appearance fee or something.

AMEN to that TONYROME....LeBron never experienced failure til the NBA and while extremely physically talented and will be "one of the Bests ever" he's not nor will ever be Top20 of all time....he lacks the intangibles....Jordan in his hey day would dominate the "King" on both ends of the court..it would be ridiculous and LeBron most likely would tear up from the fan and media reactions to the beatdowns....oh, and Scottie Pippen, the Hall of Famer, was better than LeBron ever will be...

the public does not like to watch talent be wasted. Most people dont have that talent & have to work day jobs. But this spoiled fuck can dominate a game, but rarely puts forth the effort. So the people are mad at the unfairness of it all, & reflect that on lebron.

Hard to hate someone I really don't know. I did hate the Press conference thing...other than that I've got no issue with him i actually like him compaired to a lot of guy's in his position.
I could careless about Cleveland Cav's organization when he get's old and can barely play Cleveland wouldn't give a fuck about him.We all know by now it's a business.
As far as him going to Miami..he's entilted to go anywhere hes wants..we had decisions where to go to school where to live and get a job ..Why shouldn't he? If he wanted to go somewhere ..he thought the road to achieveing what he wants is easier then fine by me ...how many of us have chosen the easier way?
He interviews well, he play's hard he comes to play every night.Theres no off court bullshit..keep's himself clean. I've seen him fouled hard and he keeps his cool..He doesn't come across flashy or arrogant I think he's a decent guy..it's jus people have preconcieved notions about him that he can't shake!!!
