When you think about it, LeBron James has got to be one of the ten most popular human beings on earth. People that just exude star power. Magnets for attention, no matter where they are. Jordan, Oprah, Obama, Springsteen, Brad Pitt, Clooney, DiCaprio, Jay-Z... Who else? You'd have to think LeBron makes that list.
Already, he's that gigantic.
This doesn't necessarily make him "cool," of course, but it definitely gives him a little extra swagger. Plus, he's the best basketball player on earth. So between his talent and popularity, it's not that crazy for him to say things like this:
If I really wanted... If I REALLY wanted to win the scoring title, I could do it every single year. Every single year.
And even though he's probably right, or maybe because he's probably right, let's take "King James" down a couple notches.
LeBron James, so insecure he once ordered his PR people to confiscate footage of a 20 year-old dunking on him. Never forget.
