The Q Scores Co., which conducts popularity polls, has James rated as the sixth-most-disliked figure in American pro sports. The results, known as "Q Scores," were reported Tuesday by CNBC.
According to the report, James is viewed in what the company considers a negative light by 39 percent of the general population. In January, while still a Cleveland Cavalier, he was viewed positively by 24 percent of the population, negatively by 22 percent, according to the figures from The Q Scores Co.
"LeBron's positive score at that time was the highest we had ever seen it," Henry Schafer, executive vice president of Q Scores, told CNBC.
The company's current tally puts James' drop in positive rating in the past seven months at 41.5 percent. Q Scores considers James to be viewed in a positive light by only 14 percent of the people polled.
"Instead of his change to the Heat being seen as the best way he can win a championship, many have looked at it and how he chose to announce it as a selfish move," Schafer told CNBC.
The top five disliked sports personalities, according to The Q Scores Co. (the demographic among those polled was not mentioned): Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick; golfer Tiger Woods; Cincinnati Bengals receivers Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco; and Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

I'll be here laughing at you when you dont :wave:
MikeHonchosubscriberWas Big "rape" Ben on that list?
Gotta think that a two-time rapist would be more hated than even Kobe.
Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.
Big ENew MemberI got nuthin but love for Lebron. I hope the Heats new entrance music is "You can hate me now".
PhiNominaforum_veteranThe Heat are the Jets of the NBA. Lots of big names, egos and bragging while not having accomplished anything yet.
Not saying they won't, but they haven't yet.

That is not fair. NOT even close.
The JETS PLAYERS are the ONES doing all the talking.
The FANS can TALK all they want.
HEAT PLAYERS have not said a THING. In fact, all they have said is that the Lakers are the champs and the team to beat.
You can be aggrieved all you want..but leave your hurt feelings and bull in Cleveland.
There was no need to insult us like that.
Anyway...how the heck can you look at the Jets talent and the heat talent and even begin to make a comparison?
The Jets are not even the most talented team in the Division if you think of it.

Good luck with that.
You know it's over. That is the fun part really.
The even better part is that we (heat fans) know that YOU know it is "over" and just can't come to grips with it yet.

fans can talk all they want but just an fyi thats partially why I despise the jets lol
As for lebron being so high thats stupid, as well as ocho cinco and even to. Why isn't big ben up there or that jack ass te who raped that girl in college. Lebron from what I can see is a positive guy who works charities, etc. He doesn't deserve the hate IMO.
thanks to VO for the sick ass sigs.

Agree, other than the presigning ESPN Special (that raised millions for the Boys and Girls clubs as well as expounding the virtues of online colleges) and the celebration night when LJ and Bosch signed in Miami, there has not been a peep out of the Heat.
And Spoelstra or Riley have not said a word of smack, in a way that was disappointing as they should be a good team, and false modesty is nonsense.

James is a two time MVP. Wade has a ring. How can you say they aren't accomplished?

He was saying the TEAM isnt.....right now all they have are hopes, just like ALL the other teams in September. Even Da Knicks!
BlameItOnTheHenneforum_veteranOcho Cinco hated? I still don't get how anyone hates him. I just don't get it.
As for LeBron...he's disliked because his decision to come to Miami just closed the window of opportunity for opposing fans' teams for a long time.
HardKoreXXXNew MemberJust shows you how dumb Sports fans are. One guy rapes a chick, another cheats on his wife, another went to jail for dog fighting, and one guy who...went to another team as a Free Agent..WHAT A MONSTER.
"Making people on the Internet feel better about their own lives since 2004"
the jets have washed up big names whose home team didnt want them anymore.
the heat has 2 of the top 3 players in the world right now, in their prime, in a sport where you only field 5 players at a time. that is completely different then the jets picking up LT, JT and Holmes.
its not like miami or clevland was looking to get rid of wade or james. they were the two most sought after free agents this year, and would be every year if they only did 1 year contracts.
unless a few other teams make some moves in order to get some great talent to play together, the heat will win it all for the next few years. we all KNOW Wade can not be stopped. Lebron can not be stopped. what team has the personell to stop BOTH of them at once and not leave the other 3 players completely open?
we shall see next year. i heard rumors about chris paul and carmello anthony possibly joining amare in new york next year. but that wont stop the heat this year.

Aslong as Kobe/Gasol/Artest and Co stay together its not over for me. Plus Come Playoffs i dont have to worry about the Heat since theyre in the East.

Wow, seriously bro, when did he insult you? You are way too sensitive when he comes to people criticizing the Heat.

Got to agree. I hate that lebron didnt come to the Knicks but he has no place on that list. That should be reserved for criminals and idiots like 85. :wink2:
