Wow. Someone really ticked LeBron James off yesterday, to the point that he had to come to the defense of an innocent and persecuted man. ESPN NFL analyst Merril Hodge voiced his opinion on Tim Tebow's ability to be a championship caliber NFL quarterback. Although the criticism aimed at Tebow was harsh it was just that, an opinion. It appeared the mild mannered golden boy from Florida took it all in stride with a simple tweet to let Mr. Hodge know that word had gotten back. So why did James seem to take the criticism of Tebow so personal? It sounded to me like LeBron was not defending Tebow at all. He was defending himself.
Remove Tim Tebow from this direct quote "He's a hard worker, a student of the game, a natural born leader and most of all a WINNER!! It takes time and he'll be nice." LeBron is talking about himself, to remind us of all the things that made us crown him "King James". A reminder that winning championships take time. Another direct quote from James "Guys get on that tv and act like they was all WORLD when they played. How bout encouraging him and wishing him the best instead of hating!!" This is LeBron's advise to everyone who criticized his epic meltdown in the Finals. Face it LeBron, you choked and got criticized for it. Tim Tebow has weaknesses that are being criticized. It's sports. It's life.
