Think he’s making a big deal out of it to be honest. He’s won one, so what? Hundreds/Thousands of other players have won one and not made a big deal of it.

I think you should only get to brag like this when you’ve won multiple, Jordan/shaq/whoever else you can think of-style

It is a big deal because of HATERS like you. Accept it, he is the best player, MVP stats don’t lie. They won the championship because of him. So stop being a hater and give him a break. He deserve it…

Not a ‘HATER’ at all, I just don’t feel one championship ring deserves the right to start acting like God. You see Kobe parading round in the equivalent of LeBron’s ENG tees? Nope. How many has he won? Alot more than LeBron.

So no, again, I’m not being a ‘HATER’ as I actually like LeBron, I just think he’s being overly confident

I have to admit it does feel like hate, if you went through as much as him in the way of hate in and around the league you deserve to let people know how much it means to you. He’s worked hard for it. Besides it’s not much in the way of bragging, he did earn it.

Finally I highly HIGHLY doubt lebron called up nike and said i’ve got a new idea for a t-shirt. More than likely he was given the idea and just said it’s cool you can make it.

Kobe won three championships because of Shaq by the age of 23. He didn’t have to go through the pain of losing and it being on his shoulders, taking the heat and the blame. When won his second championship without Shaq, once he had endured haters and pain and earned his respect, what was the first thing he said in his press conference………………… ” I got one more than Shaq”……………………… That’s hardly humble, in fact it just proved that all the time he and Shaq were together all he was interested in was being ‘the man’ – so don’t tell me that you don’t see Kobe parading around!

LeBron deserves to stick two fingers up to everyone who has said he is over-rated and never going to win a ring, but he hasn’t………….. He released a t-shirt demonstrating a lesson learned on his journey!

It’s just a T-shirt !!!

LeBron is just a (good) basketball player, as is/was Oscar Robertson, Dr. J., Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, etc., none of whom, I believe, worried too much about a T-shirt.

Kobe didn’t go through that no but he did perform and turn up for all three of his first chips then after a couple of losing years when he won 2more (without a previous finals mvp) he said ‘one more than shaq’ clearly in a humerous manner and it was clearly a joke.
This Lebron T is abit too much, they get to go overboard on the night they win it and act like fools, cry, spray champagne and whatever but after that its done and on to the next one.
And finally it is widely known that Lebron has alot of input into all of his nike merchandise so dont be suprised if he was to do with it.
