  • @kimechavez7067
    @kimechavez7067 Před 5 lety +29

    LBJ knows how hard life was back then, without his mom and all the people that supported him, he would not have been where he is standing right now. Which is why I salute him for being grateful for all the support that he received and through his foundation he is able to give back to the community especially to the kids that has similar situation that he was. Thank you James. My faith in humanity has been restored.

    Lebron's haters crack me up. Anyone who watches him play and listens to this speech and can't do anything but talk shit has some serious issues. So stop hating, haters. He's better than you, at basketball and probably as a man too. Better than mj too...as a player and a man.
    Respect the man. Everything he done as a player, a celebrity and a community leader warrants your respect

    This kid has overcame many obstacles in his life. But, he's still humble. His mom did a GREAT job. Most of all to his WIFE, for being his queen. It can't be easy as she makes it look. No one is perfect. He has a GREAT supporting cast.

    Not to be ignorant or stubborn but I think it is about the individual. Lebron or whoever wins the award worked for it . If it was about the ppl who helped or the fans then it would've been awarded to all of them and not called sportsMANSHIP award. The ppl who help ed should get some credit but all the sacrifices and hardwork and talent came from the Individual. God didnt give Lebron the talent for his fans or even his family but for Lebron James, if it wasnt then all the family members and fans would gotten the God given talent. But it's good to be humble. Celebrities in all categories ( music, sports,film, business, etc) say they do what they do for the fans and family but Most of the work is for themselves they just would never say it cuz it will be seen as ignorant which is sad cuz it's the truth. They wanna be the best person they were meant to be. We as helpers and fans dont feel the pain they go through, ofc it's about them . They just have to know how to show it.
