The hate is real for LeBron: Zero votes for NBA’s best and criticized for dunking in lay up line.

The hate for LeBron James is at an all-time high right now. We’ve seen it for years but it’s gotten to a point where it’s ridiculous and makes absolutely no sense. Ole boy received ZERO votes for best player in the NBA in the ESPN Offseason survey. ZERO bruh? C’mon with this foolishness!!!

It’s crazy to me that folks who say they know sports or basketball, in this particular case, that will look you in the face and tell you that LeBron isn’t still the best player breathing. Boyz are prisoners of the moment. Once he went down with the groin injury cats forgot all about him.

I can even see him not getting the unanimous nod that he’s gotten for the past ten years or so but to tell me that he’s not worthy of getting a single vote says that boyz are hating. He’s by far the best player walking even at darn near 35 years old.

The hate is real when you see folks going in on him for getting in the layup line with his son’s AAU team over the weekend in Las Vegas. LeBron knows every kid on that team and he’s like the team dad. For him to jump in the layup line and dunk was normal behavior as far as those kids are concerned.

I’d rather see him doing that and having fun with them than cursing the refs and coaches out like most parents do at those stupid AAU tournaments. Every time I’m at one of those games there are multiple idiot parents screaming at the top of their lungs about a call that doesn’t even matter. Who cares who wins the freaking game or if the ref got a call right or not? Who really cares? The kids are going to play at least 3 games a day over the weekend.

Other parents can act a fool at the games but LeBron can’t lose his shoe celebrating an alley-oop that some of the kids threw down? Other parents can curse the refs out and get into fights but LeBron can’t get into the layup line and dunk? You sound crazy! Hating at it’s finest. Stop me when I start lyin’!
