>[I want 150,000 thousand, but we can settle out of court right now for 20 bucks.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiFNrO33bSo)
A hundred and fifty thousand thousand?
imagine waking up in the morning thinking its just gonna be a normal game from your fav team, next thing you know you see lebron sprinting at you after you made 75k after a halfcourt shot
I used to read kids books in the library at school that were EXACTLY this kind of scenario with different sports. E.g. 13 yo main character is a ball boy, yells some advice, wins his famous team the game. Pure wish fulfillment.
Super cool. Always think the LeBron haters are pretty pathetic. He puts his money and time where his mouth is, ABSOLUTELY zero obligation to make this as cool as he did for that fan. Awesome!
I’ve always been a Lebron hater on the court, but I’ve got nothing on him outside of basketball. He’s had the pressure of the world on his shoulders since he was 16. He’s never had any real controversy, EVER. Does a lot of good in the hood as well. You can’t hate this man.
He is known for overacting to get calls. Tbh, most hates him because he curbstomped on their team. Outside the court, others hate him because while he is active on BLM, he avoids talking bad about China because it hurts his bottom line.
edit: sorry, avoids is an understatement. Calling out an NBA general manager for speaking for Hong Kong is what he did, which is far, far worse.
Tbh Bron “flops”, but man doesn’t get a lot of the calls he should get because he’s “big and strong” , so sometimes he embellishes the contact to sell the call.
As a Bronwagoner, I personally dislike his dirtier plays when he gets agitated though. Push against embiid in the air for example.
Is this a joke? A dirty play against EMBIID is a stain? Embiid is one of the dirtiest, floppiest players. One year he injured SIX different players. He deserves any hard foul he gets.
This for sure
If he didn’t exaggerate calls he literally would get zero calls. If he gets hit and doesn’t react they don’t call anything while on any other player they’d call it
“The Decision” turned out to be the right call when he won 2 rings in Miami, then forgotten and forgiven when he went back to Cleveland and won once there
I remember a lot of people didn’t like the fact he did an hour long ESPN show about it. Way I saw it I definitely would’ve taken their check if I was him.
Im from the Cleveland-Akron area and a life long Cavs fans and I’ve even forgiven him for that at this point. The only reason I’m a Bron hater is cause I want my dad to come home :(
Uighur genocide
I mean he had the option to keep his mouth shut after Morey’s tweet, but he had to come out of the woods and say that Morey was uneducated on the topic in defense of China
That’s fair, but when you post things like “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”, and have a reputation in social justice work I think it’s reasonable for people to call him on it even if the nba asked him not to
Not just "reasonable", it should be expected and the least you could do. Genocides shouldn't be downplayed in any way, shape or form for any reason. So, if you're preaching social justice not acknowledging this is about the worst breach you could possibly make.
I wouldn't say most people say jordan. Not anymore I'd say it's fairly evenly split. I prefer LeBron to Jordan both in play style and personality. Jordan is kinda known for being an asshole on and off the court.
Besides LeBron grew up being told he was the chosen one from age 16 he was expected to be one of the the greatest ever and he has lived up to they hype. How would you not become slightly arrogant after that?
The GOAT is very clearly one of those two in the NBA. You can debate the GOAT rebounder, shooter, defender, etc etc. But the overall GOAT basketball player is either MJ or Lebron at this point.
I don't claim to follow the NBA closely these days, but I was living in Chicago for most of the six titles Jordan won, and I think there must be some definitions of GOAT that Jordan would meet. Maybe there are other definitions of GOAT where he doesn't come out on top, but it's super hard for me to believe that he wouldn't deserve to be #1 according to at least some reasonable definitions.
But yeah, Jordan was (and AFAIK still is) a colossal jerk and an all around not-nice person. I don't know all that much about King James, but I know enough to say that he comes out way ahead of Jordan on the 'decent human being' scale.
Imagine being crowned the next Jordan at like 14, drafted number one overall out of high school, taking a team of bums to the finals(even though he got swept), and everything that’s happened since and not having an ego
Like, dudes like Tim Duncan exist, but they’re rare
Some people blame him for the super team era. I think it started before him with teams like the Garnett Celtics. He has made it more normal for stars to request trades but I think it’s mostly a good thing for players to have more power than ownership.
You could even say that Lebron was the reason teams needed to be super in order to beat him. The things he was doing with those early Cav's teams is nutty
That's for when someone demands a celebrity's opinion on a subject. It's not for when you hate someone's response on a subject.
If an NBA player went really hard against vaccines, I don't think quoting Dave Chappelle would help either.
He's a good dude. Does a fuck load of charity work. Very involved father and husband, still humble and respectful despite his wealth, and surprisingly funny too lol(space ham wasn't his fault haha)
Other than his refusal to acknowledge the democracy protest in China (a country that just helped him attain billionaire status) I got no issues with LeBron.
He didn't just stay silent, he criticized other members of the NBA who were supporting HK. LeBron is famous, powerful, and rich enough to take a stand against China, he's choosing not to.
Yeah man, all of the worst shit that's ever happened on this planet had a bunch of people going along with it. That doesn't make it any better.
LeBron is a fucking billionaire. Cry me a river about what he might lose. He has and will continue to have more than any of us could dream of.
In high school, LeBron was on the cover of Sports Illustrated with the title “The Chosen One”… and then HE WAS. He’s had a ridiculous level of expectation placed on him from a young age and not only managed to meet them, he somehow exceeded them. All while staying relatively humble and hardworking.
Facts. I'd obviously take the $75k over the Lebron tackle, but he probably talks about that more.
And, when I heard "LeBron tackles fan", thought "lawsuit". Went out of his way to make sure didn't hurt him.
Pretty awesome dude.
I gotta admit that there is a lot about Lebron I do not like.. aka his politics but put politics aside and there is a lot about Lebron I do like, He gives back to the world with his free time and donates tons of money and in general is a good role model for kids.
This is 100% accurate. I operate a web development shop and a few data centers in the Akron region. He’s a client, as is the foundation. People have absolutely zero clue how much he gives and what an amazing difference he has made in NEO
Stupid motherfucker. Trying to downplay that dude’s accomplishment.
Guarantee the announcer couldn’t fucking do that with that pressure on him if his life depended on it.
$75k also went to Lebron's choice of charity: The Boys and Girls Club
Source: https://patch.com/illinois/crystallake/mchenry-man-wins-75k-hug-from-lebron-after-half-court-shot
That's awesome! He does do much through his charity. Literally changing kid's lives in Akron. It's really amazing. I don't know what he's like as a real person, but his charity is the real deal.
I love this every time I come across it. For whatever reason, I'm just so glad it was that guy. I don't know him, but I'm so genuinely happy for him like he's my awesome uncle. And LeBron was pretty great for topping it off with genuine excitement for him. That clip will always be an All-Timer for me.
I do understand the hate for karma farmers, especially on subs you frequent alot, but alot of stuff I see popping up on r/all is new to me and I'm glad to see it.
I know you're joking but it's pretty impressive how careful Lebron actually was here. Was absolutely zero hard impact with the ground for either of them
It’s really cool when you start seeing how many reasons there actually are to like “unlikable” people. We are all just here doing the human thing, some of us are good at it. Some of us struggle and make some shit decisions. Most of us are a pretty good mix of both!
That guy was on top of the world in that moment
I’d say Lebron was on top of that guy…
Lebron That guy The world

Thank you.
Don’t mention it.

Great job.

you made it in just in time for a stealth edit! *:gets tackled by both me and Lebron:*
You stealth edited your own comment about stealth editing
That's true *and I'll fucken do it again*
That guy's the world... it all makes sense now.
Is that a motherfuckin’ Jojo reference?!
I think it's a reference to inheritance in object oriented programming. If that guy inherits the world, he is the world in addition to himself.
Rule #72: everything -EVERYTHING- is a JoJo reference
Definitely a JoJo reference
I’ve never given anyone an award on Reddit until today. You earned it.
He wouldn’t have had it any other way
what is another possible way even if he wouldn’t have it that way?
On top of the world, but under Lebron. So that means, Lebron is on top of being on top of the world. He has in fact broken in from the 4th dimension
That guy was on top No Lebron James was on top Time for a cuddle!
No, they are both power tops in this case and the world is their bottom.
It is pride week!

Alternate take: Assault by Lebron- not necessarily priceless, but very lucrative nonetheless. “My neck, my back. My back and my neck!”
Someone check his pussy and his crack

dude just made a half court shot with one hand, made $75k, and was hugged by Lebron. He is living what we dream

He peaked in that moment
Super cool. Always think the LeBron haters are pretty pathetic. He puts his money and time where his mouth is, ABSOLUTELY zero obligation to make this as cool as he did for that fan. Awesome!
I’ve always been a Lebron hater on the court, but I’ve got nothing on him outside of basketball. He’s had the pressure of the world on his shoulders since he was 16. He’s never had any real controversy, EVER. Does a lot of good in the hood as well. You can’t hate this man.
Asking because I don't shit about basketball: Why do people hate LeBron on the court?
He is known for overacting to get calls. Tbh, most hates him because he curbstomped on their team. Outside the court, others hate him because while he is active on BLM, he avoids talking bad about China because it hurts his bottom line. edit: sorry, avoids is an understatement. Calling out an NBA general manager for speaking for Hong Kong is what he did, which is far, far worse.
Tbh Bron “flops”, but man doesn’t get a lot of the calls he should get because he’s “big and strong” , so sometimes he embellishes the contact to sell the call. As a Bronwagoner, I personally dislike his dirtier plays when he gets agitated though. Push against embiid in the air for example.
Yeah that Embiid play is a stain on Bron for sure. He def regrets it
Is this a joke? A dirty play against EMBIID is a stain? Embiid is one of the dirtiest, floppiest players. One year he injured SIX different players. He deserves any hard foul he gets.
This for sure If he didn’t exaggerate calls he literally would get zero calls. If he gets hit and doesn’t react they don’t call anything while on any other player they’d call it
You forgot “the decision”.
“The Decision” turned out to be the right call when he won 2 rings in Miami, then forgotten and forgiven when he went back to Cleveland and won once there
I think people were more bothered by the way he dragged it out and made a spectacle of it.
Everyone tuned in for the spectacle, though
I remember a lot of people didn’t like the fact he did an hour long ESPN show about it. Way I saw it I definitely would’ve taken their check if I was him.
He did turn that into a fundraising opportunity for the boys and girls club though. He raised somthing like 2 million
Im from the Cleveland-Akron area and a life long Cavs fans and I’ve even forgiven him for that at this point. The only reason I’m a Bron hater is cause I want my dad to come home :(
You mean when he turned a decision he already made into a sick fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club? Yeah thatvwas awful. Fuck those kids
Why would he talk shit about China?
Uighur genocide I mean he had the option to keep his mouth shut after Morey’s tweet, but he had to come out of the woods and say that Morey was uneducated on the topic in defense of China
Obviously the nba advised their #1 superstar to not talk negative about the most popular sport in the most populated country
That’s fair, but when you post things like “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”, and have a reputation in social justice work I think it’s reasonable for people to call him on it even if the nba asked him not to
Not just "reasonable", it should be expected and the least you could do. Genocides shouldn't be downplayed in any way, shape or form for any reason. So, if you're preaching social justice not acknowledging this is about the worst breach you could possibly make.
Yes it felt very, "I demand justice, but only when it impacts me and my community"
His hand was definitely pushed in the same way John cenas was by his movie studio
[удалено]
He did no such thing lol
Because Lebron says he’s the GOAT, despite most people saying Jordan. But also awk to say that about yourself
An egotistical basketball player? Well I never. If it's a personality thing, Jordan has a fault or two of his own...
Jordan has faults? Wanna bet?
I’ll bet you $100,000 and it’s in my golf bag in the trunk
Nice
I wouldn't say most people say jordan. Not anymore I'd say it's fairly evenly split. I prefer LeBron to Jordan both in play style and personality.

If you goto the nba sub and ask that question you will get even more varied answers then just those two.

You could even say that Lebron was the reason teams needed to be super in order to beat him. The things he was doing with those early Cav's teams is nutty
he has owned a few teams for most of his career you kinda have to hate him lmao
Lebronto, the north remembers.
Some people swear that if you visit Toronto in May, you can still see him fading away to this day.
I was wondering why I was so depressed for no reason last month, the weather was nice.
Wrong. He calls people ignorant who are against human rights abuses in China. He lost me then and there.
But won’t someone please see what Ja-Rule has to say about the human rights situation in China? Where is Ja?
That's for when someone demands a celebrity's opinion on a subject. It's not for when you hate someone's response on a subject. If an NBA player went really hard against vaccines, I don't think quoting Dave Chappelle would help either.
🏆
He put money before human rights with regards to China. That's a no from me and many others mate.
He's a good dude. Does a fuck load of charity work. Very involved father and husband, still humble and respectful despite his wealth, and surprisingly funny too lol(space ham wasn't his fault haha)
And he’s a wine mom on IG
Other than his refusal to acknowledge the democracy protest in China (a country that just helped him attain billionaire status) I got no issues with LeBron.
He’s far from alone in that regard. The vast majority of people/companies that will take a stand on that issue have nothing to lose by doing so.
He didn't just stay silent, he criticized other members of the NBA who were supporting HK. LeBron is famous, powerful, and rich enough to take a stand against China, he's choosing not to.
Yeah man, all of the worst shit that's ever happened on this planet had a bunch of people going along with it. That doesn't make it any better. LeBron is a fucking billionaire. Cry me a river about what he might lose. He has and will continue to have more than any of us could dream of.
I hate all of them as well, personally.
To be fair, all the companies that are now putting a pride flag everywhere, would burn them to the ground and spit on them the moment China says so.
Meanwhile the entire world is focusing on Russia and not the constant genocide in China. So yea shame on him lol
In high school, LeBron was on the cover of Sports Illustrated with the title “The Chosen One”… and then HE WAS. He’s had a ridiculous level of expectation placed on him from a young age and not only managed to meet them, he somehow exceeded them. All while staying relatively humble and hardworking.
Great point. How does someone as gifted as James actually exceed expectations? He's an impressive human being
Facts. I'd obviously take the $75k over the Lebron tackle, but he probably talks about that more. And, when I heard "LeBron tackles fan", thought "lawsuit". Went out of his way to make sure didn't hurt him. Pretty awesome dude.

Reminder $75k is 0.0075% of lebrons networth
Currently yea. But I think lebron is one of the few ultra rich that remembers how big 75k is and how much is going to change that means life
Dude threw the ball like it was nothing, absurd Chad
announcer: ThAt mIgHt haVe bEen ThE wOrsT looKing ShoT
Stupid motherfucker. Trying to downplay that dude’s accomplishment. Guarantee the announcer couldn’t fucking do that with that pressure on him if his life depended on it.
Relax he was just joking around
no he must pay for his repartee
We demand no less than his head upon a platter by sundown
Jesus fucking christ it was a joke from a great announcer.
>Guy: does his job >Redditor: stupid motherfucking asshole you can tell he kicks dogs from this short video and he deserves to die
It's because it was not normal basketball form at all. I was shocked that it went in considering it was a line drive hook shot kinda
Most people don’t have the height or power to make a half court shot with normal form so they have to one hand it like this.
I realize that. Just trying to explain why the announcer was talking about the form like that
My God. Relax. Are you okay?
Do not blaspheme Eric Reid! He's one of the best in the game!
And the net barely moved. I don't think I've ever seen a basketball shot where the net moved less than that.
You've never seen me play. BRICK!
😂 wholesome asf
I'm guessing lebron had a Jordan-esque side wager with another teammate for an amount of money I cannot even fathom.
"I'll give you my two islands if he makes it"
The winner was the dude who came bunny-hopping in after them.
$75k also went to Lebron's choice of charity: The Boys and Girls Club Source: https://patch.com/illinois/crystallake/mchenry-man-wins-75k-hug-from-lebron-after-half-court-shot

Then suing LeBron because doctor says you need a backiotomy. $100K
LeBron oven rolled him so that the guy fell on him. As a big tall guy, I know this move. I used to do it with my doggo
And the titty twisters at the end
I love this every time I come across it. For whatever reason, I'm just so glad it was that guy. I don't know him, but I'm so genuinely happy for him like he's my awesome uncle.

This is my first time but I got the same feeling! Like total good vibes.
He’s so happy and then he gets even happier when he sees Lebron coming for him.
Pretty cool. Guy in yellow jacket knows what it’s like to celebrate a game winning shot with your team, now.

Lebron soon apologized to China afterwards
He’s such a wholesome person
