NO TO CRITICISMS

LeBron James of the Miami Heat says criticizing another player will never be part of his personality. James believes it is much better to praise a co-player rather than say bad things, which would create chaos and hurt feelings, according to the Miami Herald. When it comes to criticisms, he has only person in mind: Charles Barkley, the former NBA star turned Hall-of-Famer and now, TNT analyst.

“You have to ask Charles. I have no idea. You can't stop what people are going to say about you. You're going to have people comment on your game. You're going to have people comment on you, personally. At the end of the day, if they don't actually know you, or know about you, then you don't look too far into it.

“Have you seen me every downplay anybody? Anytime somebody asks me about future Hall of Famers -- guys in the game, all I do is praise guys. We're all in this together. But when they ask a question about LeBron, it's always the other side. But it won't change me as a person.”
