When Shaquille O'Neal said those words with a teasing expression on his face, LeBron James immediately thought of that most annoying guy.
These people...
Why are they all like this?
Why do they always have to be at odds with me?
Can't they stand to see me in the spotlight?
The whole League is just a bunch of "sourpusses"!
LeBron cursed fiercely in his mind.
Back then, Su Wan made him give up ball-handling to focus on defense; now this one wants him to step forward after a loss, admitting it was his fault.
But why should he do these things?
He is the "Chosen One," he is "King," Nike signed a hundred-million-dollar deal with him, invested so much media resources, was it for him to become this kind of player?
No!
He was very clear, Nike needed his brilliance, his perpetual "kingly" image!
