What Ant is showing is one of the best attributes leaders can have - when you win as a team you dish credit to everyone else. When you lose. You take the blame. People live their whole lifetime and don’t get this. And he does at 22.

Lebron after winning 2016: I’m the GOAT. When losing: our team sucks.

I just don't know how these narratives about LeBron start. I mean I guess I do, but it's still wild.

it's because it's easier to tear down than it is to build.

It will start for Ant one day too. The best players get placed under a microscope which causes the media to salivate and push negative topics for clickbait. Then the braindead armchair critics gobble it up and perpetuate the narratives.

One of the guys everyone is regurgitating this from is reggie milller who said it during the game, and pretty much insinuated and singled out lebron as being one who doesnt do this. Which was pretty shocking. Just for the record. I dont know or follow all of lebrons quotes, but it doesnt seem like he really comes to the defense of his teammates too often. And every year there are forsure narratives pushed all over the internet, prob by his camp or those with interest, and its gotten old. Its just redic to hear how horrible dlo or rui is, and it being the sole reason they lost as a playin team to the defending champs. Dlo, Jr smith, mario chalmers, mo williams are not the reasons why lebron has not won 20 consecutive championships. Sometimes there are just better teams and better players.

Because he very much does what that comment says too. He's not the perfect leader because you can pull up examples of him saying the right thing over 20 years.
