Anyone that does that clearly thinks too highly of himself He brought all this attention upon himself. He won't say it, but he loves the fact he is the talk of the sports world. That's just who he is. He needs his ego fed, and that's what the media does.
Of course he loves he, and of course he will give himselve a title to "get his ego up" or to "sell merchandise", but who wouldn't. And what Profensional sports star doesn't? If everybody in your community was constently talking about you (for good reasons) you'd love it too, expescially if you didn't give them specific reason too. The thing is, everbody hypes it up more for Lebron because they love him, they hate him, or they just don't know what to think about him.
OH and a point yet to be made is.. HE IS A CLEAN PLAYER SO FAR. What i mean by that is he isn't a criminal, he hasn't cheated on anybody, he keeps it in his pants (or at least doesn't get caught). He doesn't fight dogs (sorry Vick ). He hasn't raped anyone (**** you Kobe/Rothlesburger) Both of which get praised daily ever though they've caused harm to a human. He hasn't had any big charges against him, which is somthing most sports players cant say.
