Does Lebron complain much more than other stars? Unfortunately, I don't think that he does.
He doesn't really. Every star complains, even our own Isaiah Thomas who audibly yells "AND-1!" at least ten times per game.
There is no way IT complains nearly as much as LeBron. I'll admit LeBron probably doesn't complain more than Harden, Westbrook, Howard, Griffin, CP3, DMC, Melo, Lowry and maybe a couple others. I don't think the rest of the stars complain more than LeBron, and most of them wouldn't be able to get away with his degree of whining/scolding refs.
Durant, too. Draymond Green. Wade. Paul Pierce was a notorious complainer for us.
I don't like it, but I think that it goes with the territory. These guys are coddled, and unfortunately, whining probably pays off (for everybody but DMC).
Yes, Draymond is incessant, and I love his game.
He has got to be one of the worst, no doubt.
It's a shame because I respect all other aspects of his game so much, but I lose all respect for him the moment he opens his mouth and starts squealing out complains...which happens on almost every single play.
i don't care if he complains when there is a legitimately questionable call...but he complains about not getting foul calls when it was blatantly obvious that there was no foul. That's just irritating.
Oh and Dwight Howard is another to add to the list. He's one of the only guys I know of who will elbow an opponent in the head, give the guy a concussion, and then look in awe at the offical wondering how no foul got called
in his favour. Just idiotic.
I still remember when he grabbed Pierce by the jersey (while mid air) and pulled him (full force) to the floor. Pierce was on the floor for a good minute or so and looked like he was borderline passed out, and then Howard started whining with a
"what did i do ref, why you always pickin' on me?!?!?" look on his face.
I don't think he's quite as bad now, but back then...I wanted to punch him square in the face.
