White people are mad that unlike Michael and Kobe (before his retirement), who were JUST ATHLETES. Period. Nothing else. Husband and Father were secondary during their playing days. LeBron has NEVER been JUST an NBA player. If he was JUST an athlete, that means the game and more importantly, THE FANS have value to him. While the game certainly has meaning, as he's devoted to honing his craft even at his age, he always made it clear he was a family man first. He said it loud and proud that if Bronny's first game and the Lakers were on the same day, he would NOT be suiting up for the Lakers that game. Kobe and Mike would NEVER. Bron always treated the NBA as a vehicle for his other post-career, long-term passions (TV and Film). White people hate that because it means they have no value to him. He's doing his job while white people pay him for his services and then he's taking that money and multiplying it BY HIMSELF without their support or input.


They hate any semblance of an "independent negro" type.
