That was from CelticsTown and yes I am saying his work ethic isn't that of a Durant, Bryants, etc.

What evidence do you have of that?

He would've fixed his jumper by now. Lebron isn't a gym rat like Ray, Kobe, Durant, or ever Rose. And he sure isn't a student of the game like a lot of those guys. He might be better than all of them, but most of it's natural God-Given talent.

I don't think his jumper is broken.  He is not Ray Allen, but Lebron has made himself into a relatively dangerous perimeter shooter...particularly off the dribble.  Although the lack of a low post game is a bit [dang]ing.

lol... big deal?  He was partying in vegas.  What's wrong with that?  It's not like Paul Pierce and several of the Celtics don't do the same thing.

Nothing about this article really changed my opinion of him.  This whole fiasco has actually made me respect him more.

Because he's the most dominant player in the NBA and decided he didn't want to play in a crappy city like Cleveland... for a pessimistic depressed loser fanbase who felt the burdon of their failures should be placed on him... and for a moron owner like Dan Gilbert.  He decided he'd rather go play in South Beach... be a superstar at his peak and live the rockstar lifestyle with his buddies... and play for a competent organization lead by one of the NBA's masterminds.  I'm sure we'd all trade places with LeBron in a second...   He made a wise decision.  He's living the dream.    The championships and world envy will start pouring in before you know it.   

If you want to blame anyone... blame Boston's own Mark Wahlberg for producing "Entourage" and blame Danny Ainge for successfully bringing the "Big 3" to Boston.  The New York-centric media will continue to crap on LeBron for a while, because they are all butthurt he didn't go play for the Knicks, but lets be honest... this guy is living out the mid 20s male fantasy.  Can't hate him for that.

btw when I was in Vegas last year for business, I was taking a taxi from the airport to Mandalay Bay and there was a brochure showing all the different attractions, events and night life.  On one page there was a shot of Paul Pierce surrounded by beautiful honies partying it up at Tao.  I decided, "If Tao is good enough for Paul Pierce... it's good enough for me".   Unfortunately we didn't plan ahead and didn't realize that Tao wouldn't let us in unless we had an equal number of females with us. 

We ended up at some club in the Luxor and the next night we ended up getting free passes to XS from a guy who works at Encore (the other club mentioned in the article).  Found out from the guy that XS is the only club in Vegas that consistently brings in over a million dollars every Friday and Saturday night.  Partially because you need to reserve a table for at least 500 bucks and get bottle service (I think the bottles start at 300 each) even to get in the door.  Makes sense.  It was the craziest club I've ever been to, though.  Awesome experience.   Vegas is insane.  Those clubs are out of control.  I can sorta imagine what kind of VIP treatment high rolling celebrities get when they go there. Let's not be too naive, folks.  Nothing LeBron did in that article is out of the norm for a mid 20s sports mega-god when partying in Vegas.  Could have been a heck of a lot worse, really.   

That article was tame compared to what I imagine ACTUALLY happens when celebrities get VIP treatment at insane dance clubs. ;)

Strongly agree with the 2nd

I guess that deserves a TP
