After a win over the the Hawks in which Lebron scored 48 points, the Cavs distributed stupid party hats to the players to properly celebrate Lebron’s birthday.  Is it just me, or does this seem a bit childish?  This is the NBA, not little league, and while there’s nothing wrong with acknowledging a player’s birthday, I think this is a bit much.  But then again, this is Lebron we’re talking about.

You can call me a hater if you want, but there’s something about Lebron that rubs me the wrong way.  I suppose it’s because if he had the mentality of Kobe or Wade (or Jordan, obviously), he’d have a championship already, even with his shitty supporting cast.  The guy has the single greatest body and athleticism in the history of sports, but he’s too busy dancing around on the bench to win anyway.  He’s just not mean; he doesn’t have a killer instinct.  That doesn’t make him a bad guy, but it irks me because I feel like he’s wasting his God-given talent.  I mean, imagine Isiah Thomas with Lebron’s body and athleticism – he’d be the meanest, championship-winning motherfucker in the world.

The bottom line is that you’d never see Kobe or Wade do something silly like this because, again, they’re too busy winning rings.  And don’t give me the bullshit argument that Kobe’s teammates don’t like him; they all worship him.
