Jorrick Battle, Bron’s munificence is not unlike Oprah’s… a drop in the ocean. Gives a quarter of a percent in donation. Pales in comparison to others and he proudly boasts of it at every opportunity. I’m not sure he knows charitable anonymity even exists. You’re right, he is a great player. One of the best ever, but he’s uptight and takes everything way too seriously included controlling every situation. You know, being responsible for coach firings and still ultimately running all the plays himself. His self consciousness is humorous. Always concerned with saying the right thing (scripted like a politician) and hiding that hairline recession with a headband clear up until the plugs started filling in appropriately. As a human being, he’a a JOKE! Just for the record, Tim Duncan is great and folks aren’t writing angry pieces about him. So NO, having articles written about your blantantly obvious despicable character flaws is NOT a prerequisite for “greatness”. Lots of articles attack and call out Gilbert Arenas. How great was he? For what it’s worth I thought Kobe was an overrated tool as well. Like Lebron he was good but he had seemingly endless character flaws. Think — booting Shaq out of town to Miami. Colorado sex scandal. Need I say more about that? Demanding trade. Arguably the biggest ball hog to ever play the game. Made an entire farewell season all about him. Lebron’s easily neck and neck with the likes of Bryant.
