When you get put on a pedestal at an early age, and never get taken off, your personality can develop in two ways. You can think of yourself as a god, and get caught up in your ego, or you can become kindof a square as you are isolated from your peers. All three of your cool guys were the former. Lebron is the latter. Everyone has their own definition of cool, but to me, the fact that Lebron has been in the spotlight for his entire life, and never shown anyone a reason to stop believing in his character is about as cool as it gets.
The only reason people have this unrealistic, mythical view of Jordan is because he was in the pre-social media era. He had full control over his own image. >

Very true but he really was black Jesus in terms of how good he was at basketball. >

I mean that’s really it. He was a degenerate gambler and a complete asshole. But watching him especially as a kid in growing up in Chicago in the 90s felt like this religious experience. It defied everything. >

Does gambling make you a bad person? >

When you gamble like Jordan did, absolutely no question lmao >

Why ? As long as he could afford it >

Ask his dad >

His dad’s death had nothing to do with his gambling, so why would I? >

Isnt it a conspiracy theory that his gambling debt was the reason his father was murdered.
I wouldnt put it past Jordan to associate with those kind of people , everything you ever hear about him in his personal life revolves around how much of an asshole he was to everyone and they all just accepted it because he could play basketball really well and was well connected because of his fame. >

If his dad was killed it was over money, at what point was Jordan even close to broke enough to let his dad die...
He was worth 77 million in 93 and some of you are insisting he couldn't pay a gambling debt... this is laughably stupid.
This theory is so braindead >

This comment section is weird >

Lebron haters salivating at their opportunity to complain >

It's not even specifically Lebron haters, and I know I'll be downvoted for this but...
It's the same breed of Redditor who shows up here for threads like "Beyonce is full of herself" or "Cardi B/Nikki Minaj is actually ugly" or "Mumble rap is the worst music ever invented."
There's a certain persistent discourse on this site about very famous, very well-liked Black people who mostly just mind their own business.

Nosey Lebron voiced support for chinas oppression of Hong Kong.
I grant that you said mostly, and i acknowledge this wasnt your main point. >

So, LeBron is pro-China, but the other 360 players in the NBA are anti-China? >

Lebron's opinion matters, no one cares what the Morris twins views on China are >

What is your standard for cool lmao. Lebron has virtually no scandals, he’s a family man who keeps his nose clean. Dude built a whole ass school for at risk kids in his hometown and is paying for their college 
Jordan cheated on his wife, was an absolute douchebag to his teammates, and a degenerate gambling addict
Kobe very well might have been a rapist, also a douchebag towards teammates 
Magic was cool >

Lebrons "family man" persona is fake as hell. His best accomplishment was buying off the sports media. >

Didn't he get caught sleeping with instagram models over and over lol. >

Sure did. The family man persona was created his last year in Miami. They did the whole "I'm coming home" campaign leading up to his return to Cleveland. They began painting him as a family man that just wanted to be back in Akron. All BS. >

Please understand that many teammates of Kobe and Jordan have nothing but negative things to say about their personalities. >

Also let's not forget that Kobe committed and admitted to sexual assault. >

Yep. Not very cool >

Exactly, not cool at all. But people downvote whenever someone brings it up because how dare anyone point that out. >

It blows my mind how many people just don't acknowledge it >

Because people idolize them and are so caught up in their false perception they refuse to see reality.
