I don't think he's just the perfect example of a humble person, like Tim Tebow lol, but I think he's about as humble as you could ask for someone in the situation and amount of spotlight he's in.. I don't see him being any less humble than the majority of the all time greats, guys like Jordan, Magic, Larry, Doc.. He's much more humble than those like Kobe, Isiah, Wilt, etc.. IMO.

As far as on-the court; Never flopped, never cried when he got basically beat up during his days against the Pistons, never took cheap shots at other players through the media.

And no, that was ME who bolded that ptar.
MJ would be in the refs ear all the time when he didn't get the calls. He did it nicely, but he'd always be taking him to the side whispering in their ears...

Three words....... Bandwagon fan base!

85% of the people the claim the Heat as "my team," can't even name 5 players that played for Miami before LeBron arrived.

I do not think this is strictly a bandwagon issue, because Heat and non-Heat fans alike take this quiz, but I was alarmed by who was guessed properly just 40% of the time here last time I checked: http://www.sporcle.com/games/challie/leadersheat

Only 40%! (unless it's changed dramatically in the past week)
