I dont think a losing record of 4-6 in the finals is really considered a winner or Champion... But that's a different story for a different day.

You didn't know the OP is from the middle East? I guess you need a crash course in Nike and Asia. Child labor is a huge problem in not only China, but Vietnam (yes, to a US ally), Thailand (yes another US ALLY), India (yes another one), Indonesia, China etc etc. They all produce the Bron Bron stuff for Nike. You Americans are so blinded by the xenophobic hate and forget about that?

Also there is a social economic impact that causes child labor. Here in Asia, most public schools are not free, those with "free" tuition, still charges for uniforms and books. Lots of larger families nearby these industrial complexes see what the west calls as "child laborers" as feeding thy stomaches. Is it wrong? Sure it is, but lest we forget that capitalism rules the "cheapest producer complex" that we are seeing right now. This is FYI just the tip of the iceberg.

I guess being successful in sports that only 0.000000001% of humans qualify for isn't good enough for your high standards, as far as I can tell, unlike some of the "successful" individuals, whoever you look up to, he has a family with no drama of divorces etc... Not that matrimonially successful marriages are important anymore in Western society, right???

No doubt about it. LeBron is all time top 5 but no where close to the animal Mike or even Kareem were.

He is probably the greatest athlete to ever play the game.

I'm sure you also criticize US foreign policy as well, which has done much more to destabilize regions than China has ever done.
