The Lebron hate is cause he had an unprecedented amount of hype in high school and entered the league and named himself The King.  People immediately were rooting for him to fail without ever seeing him play.  It's the sports media hype, people get annoyed with it and root for those people to fail (ie Tom Brady, Yankees, etc.)

The hype machine was 1/1000th of what it is now in the days of Shaq, Will, Jordan, etc.

But that's the rushed, inflated world LeBron James lives in. It is no surprise that he already refers to himself in the third person -- "LeBron stays humble by just being LeBron," he says -- or that he shouts "King James!" or "You sorry!" after he's dunked on you.

Given to himself in H.S. then blown up by Nike/Adidas/ESPN

I would enjoy a Lebron version of the political Facebook thread.
"How will I recruit to Manhattan? Well, distance. And the proud state of basketball. It start there, and then daily flights to Dallas, because I'm really good at going out. Like top five good. Ask my wife. She wants me to be happy."
