Immediately following last night’s loss to the Mavericks, LeBron had to answer a myriad of questions from reporters. One of which was where he was asked how it feels knowing that so many people were rooting for him to fail. That’s a legitimate question based on the fact that the blissful happiness of many is based solely on LeBron’s failures, as I’m sure half of the viewing audience tuned in just to make sure the Heat loss.
He probably shouldn’t have answered the question the way he did, but he was asked a tough question right after a devastating loss when emotions were at their highest. I think he generally does a poor job of accurately expressing himself and this no different because I’m not sure it came out how it was intended. Regardless, this certainly won’t go over well and he brought on the criticism that this will bring.
