“Oh no, send help immediately. IMMEDIATELY!”
Not such a bad guy, after all.

This is a LeBron-centric graphic and kudos to him for being, you know, the best player on the planet. But MJ, 24-29. Everyone else on this list put up 14 shots max. But 24 for 29!
The King & The President
Fan at Heat/Pistons game makes half-court hook shot for $75K —with another $75K going to the Boys & Girls Club— & gets mobbed by LeBron in celebration.
Outstanding.

“Hey Kobe, want me to play it on a smaller violin?”
Awkward photo of the day: LeBron James poses with the NBA Championship, Regular Season NBA MVP, NBA Finals MVP Trophy and the Olympic Gold medal. That’s a lot of hardware so we’ll excuse the awkwardness.

All in a one year. You can actually narrow this down to the month of May through August. Amazing.

Just going to leave this here.
Kobe Bryant (via nbaquotes)
Many people give Kobe a pass for being abusive towards his teammates during those years, both on the court and in the media. I get why. His best years were wasted. But was it really a situation he couldn’t control?
After all, LeBron took Cleveland to the NBA Finals in 2007 by passing to Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden…
Kobe’s approached helps highlight just how bad his teammates were. Don’t let them touch the ball until you need them to bail you out, putting already incapable players in nearly impossible scoring positions.
LeBron took the different and instead of shutting off his teammates, he shared with them not just when it was convenient for him but when it was best for his teammates. And that approach got his team into the Finals.
It’s easy to give Kobe a pass for those years, especially when he tried his best to make his own teammates look terrible.
“Uh, I’m so mental
My track record speaks for itself, I’m so instrumental
Allow me to rekindle, let’s all ‘Reminisce’ like Mary did
I think I have to send you a reminder, here it is”
All of LeBron James’ career clutch plays. No, it’s not a 16 minute loop of that 3-pointer vs Orlando in the 2009 conference finals.
