00:00Beyond the Laker great, beyond the record breaker in almost every category in pro basketball
00:11now, he owns everything.
00:12He's way beyond that as a person.
00:16There are two things, Scott, that people object to about him.
00:21One is that he has treated his career as, I'm in charge.
00:27He's used free agency on multiple occasions, first to go to Miami, then to go back to Cleveland,
00:31ultimately go to Los Angeles, because it's what he wanted to accomplish.
00:35He wanted to win, and Cleveland's management was a wreck during his time there.
00:40So he goes to Miami and works for Pat Riley, Eric Spolstra, two brilliant basketball people,
00:46and he's able to make four finals and win two titles.
00:49And then he goes back to Cleveland and pays Cleveland back, essentially, by winning a
00:54championship there in a city that hadn't had one in more than 50 years.
00:59And then he decides he wants to live in L.A., which, if I were wealthy, I think I could
01:04see that I'd want to live in L.A.
01:06So he goes out there, and he wins a title there.
01:12That's one of the things that people don't like about him.
01:14And then the other thing is that he's been politically outspoken, and a lot of people
01:19think he has no place to be politically outspoken.
01:22I don't know why others in sports and society are allowed to have political opinions, but
01:30LeBron James is not.
01:33That seems to be the case with a lot of his critics.
