There are so many reasons why LeBron James is overrated as a basketball player. In this article, I will go through all of the many reasons.

• LeBron James won’t shoot the last shot if his team is losing at the end of a game. But if the game is tied, then he would shoot it without a doubt.

He does not want the blame for losing the game if he shoots and misses if his team is down at the end of a game. But if the game is tied, he has nothing to lose, so he would shoot it. If he misses, the game would just go to overtime.
He has done this his entire career.
Horrible basketball player.
• Even in an ALL-STAR GAME, LeBron will not shoot the last shot if his team is losing in the final seconds. In the 2012 All-Star Game, LeBron had the ball with his team down by 2 points in the final 3 seconds of the game, and Kobe Bryant was guarding him. And of course, LeBron wanted no part of taking that shot, so he passed the ball, and it got stolen. LeBron's team lost. Even Kobe was telling him to shoot it. And right before that happened, LeBron had the ball with a chance to shoot with a little over 10 seconds left in the game, but he passed the ball then too!

• Does not try to score when his team is down big in a game, but if his team is winning (especially if his team is up big in a game), then he will be putting up shot after shot. Frontrunner. Every other great player in history plays the exact opposite of this.
Every other great player tries to score to bring their team back from a big deficit. But LeBron depends fully on his teammates to bring his team back into a game if they are losing big, then once his teammates get the score close, then LeBron will start trying to score more and put up more shots. He has done this his entire career.
Here is just one of many examples: On March 31st, 2024, LeBron had a good game shooting from behind the 3-point line against the Nets. He went 9 for 10 from behind the 3-point line.
I knew as soon as I saw this stat that the Lakers must have had a big lead throughout the game, which is why LeBron put up so many 3-pointers. And I was right. This is what LeBron has done his entire career, as I stated above. If his team would have been losing, he wouldn't have been putting up so many 3-pointers. Frontrunner. Take a look at the following Game Flow Chart, which shows that the Lakers were winning big during the entire game:
Then after the game, LeBron made this idiotic statement: "I don't ever have to lean on [3-pointers] because I can do so much -- I can score on any level on the floor basically once I cross half court." Now he thinks he is Steph Curry, talking about how he can score from anywhere on the court after having one good 3-point shooting game.
• Not clutch.
• No handles.
• Can’t create a shot for himself.
• Misses easy shots near the rim when he has pressure or defense around him. Can only dunk around the rim. Misses easy layups and shots near the rim when defense is there.
• Constantly flopping and looking for calls from the refs
• Won’t shoot the last shot when his team is losing in the final seconds of a game.
• After KYRIE IRVING hit the game winning shot and won Cleveland the NBA championship, LeBron went on some podcast and proclaimed himself the greatest player of all time. The stupidity of this speaks for itself.
• Never entered the dunk contest. Why? Because he knew he had no chance of winning, so he did not even try. He can only jump off one foot and dunk hard with one hand. That is it. You need creativity in a dunk contest, and he has none. And he knows it.
• Remember when LeBron got upset and started acting like a whining baby after J.R. Smith did not shoot or pass the ball in the final seconds of a game? (Cavaliers vs. Warriors, Game 1 of the NBA Finals in 2018)
The idiots on television never even mentioned this, so I will. That situation never would have happened if LeBron would have just shot the last shot in the final seconds of regulation in that game when he had the ball in his hands.
But since his team was losing in the final seconds, he passed the ball with around 4 seconds left (only player in the world who would have passed in that situation), and luckily got bailed out by a ref when the ref called a foul against the opposing team (for a foul against the teammate Lebron passed the ball to). LeBron was not even thinking about shooting in that situation since his team was losing. He wanted no part of taking the last shot when his team was losing.
His teammate shot free throws and tied the game with the first free throw, but missed the second free throw. That is when J.R. Smith went and got the offensive rebound and ran down the clock, so the game went to overtime. J.R. Smith actually took the initiative to go get the offensive rebound, something LeBron did not do. Even if J.R. Smith did not get the rebound, the game would have gone to overtime anyways.
But LeBron was acting like he was upset and whining like a baby because J.R. Smith didn't pass him the ball or shoot the ball after the rebound. LeBron was acting like he wanted the ball so he could shoot it. Acting like he wanted to shoot it when the game was tied. Like I said before, he only wants to shoot the last shot if the game is tied.
LeBron had the chance to shoot the last shot when his team was losing in the final seconds of regulation, but he passed up the shot (because his team was losing). So LeBron should have kept his mouth shut. Instead, he whined like a baby on the court and on the bench, and failed to do anything in overtime, which lead to his team losing.
J.R. Smith did not do anything wrong. He went out of his way to get an offensive rebound. So what if he did not shoot it after the rebound? The game would have gone to overtime anyways. The only reason people criticized J.R. Smith is because of the reaction LeBron had.
LeBron is an embarrassment for that reaction and many other reasons.
Most overrated basketball player in history. He is a fraud. The media and people on television are really trying to convince everyone that LeBron is a great player. He is not.
Survey: LeBron James Is Most Hated Player in the NBA
A 2021 social media study by SportsInsider declared LeBron James, of the Los Angeles Lakers, to be the most hated player in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Methodology of the Survey
SportsInsider conducted a comprehensive survey by sifting through geotagged Twitter data over the course of a month. This data was used to track the negative mentions of the most celebrated players in the league. The survey took into account phrases like "lebron sucks" or "I hate LeBron", amongst others, to determine the most disliked player. A mammoth total of over 70,000 hashtags and tweets were analyzed as part of this study.
Results of the Survey
The results of this study were startling. LeBron James was declared the most detested player in the NBA, with as many as 24 states voicing their disdain for the star athlete. Following closely behind LeBron was Kyrie Irving (who once played on the same team as LeBron), who was the most disliked in 18 states. James Harden and Kevin Durant were tied in third place, while Russell Westbrook and Paul George shared the last spot. Anthony Davis, who is currently on the Los Angeles Lakers, was not on the list.
Reactions to the Survey
One of LeBron's most vocal critics, Skip Bayless, took to Twitter to express his lack of surprise at the results. He tweeted, "A national poll finds that the most hated player in the NBA is … LeBron James. No surprise here. Can’t wait to discuss on tomorrow’s Undisputed. I’m told Shannon is out of his mind over this." Many others shared Bayless' sentiment, sparking a nationwide debate.
LeBron's Career
LeBron James, the self-proclaimed "King James," has had a long career (mostly in the Eastern Conference) in the NBA. Over every NBA season throughout the years, he has amassed a significant number of critics.
LeBron's Jersey Number
LeBron never should have worn jersey number 23. That is the number Michael Jordan wore. LeBron is nowhere near the player Michael Jordan was.
