My Diminishing Hatred Towards Lebron

As a celtics fan I'm supposed to hate Lebron but every year I find it harder to hate the guy. When he dropped 46 on us in game 6 of the ECF I was both angry and amazed at what I had just witnessed. The man single handedly took over in a do or die elimination game yet people still hate him. He is coming one of the greatest seasons in NBA history.People who hate Lebron and keep comparing him to Jordan or Kobe don't know anything about basketball. Jordan won one playoff game before Scottie and Phil Jackson came along. Kobe has been gifted with some of the best big men to play in the nba for the past decade while Kobe only had to go through two years of not having a good enough supporting cast, Lebron had to go through 7 years of it. I won't get in to their stats because people always find a way to pick them apart. Lebron took a team that had Daniel Gibson,Zydrunas Ilgauskas,Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden in it starting lineup to the NBA Finals. Last season he was in the top 20 in assists(17th), double doubles(16th),minutes(6th),steals(4th) and scoring(3rd). He's won 3 MVPs and he's not even 30 yet.You may hate Lebron but don't let it stop you from enjoying possibly one of the greatest players to ever play in the NBA.
