Anybody who has been around an NBA clubhouse, knows that nothing goes unnoticed. Lebron may say he doesn't hear his critics ....doesn't know what maybe Wade may have said.
If he himself didn't, trust me, the 1st five people he met going to the morning shoot made sure he knew about it. It's just the nature of being in the show ...an internal soap opera exists that only is known to those on the inside. Some of the stuff that flies around is just brutal...brutal stuff that is a test to try and stay above.
Kobe is a testament to a player that went through nightmare of an indoctrination, and is finally coming out the other end, after some growing pains that became public,.,.intact.
I've gained alot of respect for Kobe, from knowing alot of what he went through ..at a very very young age. People, alot older, that should have been mentors to a very young kid,and helped to educate and protect him ..threw him under the bus.
Lebron has a group around him that truly does care, and that is his personal strength ...although, a few people he is influenced by I wish he would rise above.
Lebron will be fine ..but this team's construction, and level of coaching is probably too big an obstacle to overcome to get where we could have been this year... We will look back at this season as an opportunity lost, simply because what it would have taken to get a piece that could have helped considerably could have been gotten at a very reasonable cost.
