8 Reasons LeBron James Is Overrated

LeBron James certainly is one of the best basketball players to ever take the court, but is he really in the same league of the true greats? The really great basketball players are labeled as such because they played with class, and had the titles and stat lines to back it up. Here's the problem with LeBron being placed in the pantheon of the greats.

1) He shoots way too much.

By the end of Game 3 of this NBA Finals series, LeBron had missed more shots than Stephen Curry had even attempted. He missed the target on 64 of 107 shots, while Curry, put it up only 63 times total.

2) He whines to the refs about everything.

When has a referee ever responded to a complaining player with "You know what, you're right. My bad," and changed the call?

3) He's a flopper.


Flopping is just a classless and shameful thing to do as a professional athlete.

4) The chalk toss is just so lame.

Did you ever see MJ do something so cheesy? No, you didn't.

5) "The Decision" was a shady move.

He couldn't win a title in Cleveland, his "home," so he moved to South Beach. How convenient.

6) He promised Miami how many titles?

Rather than sticking to his guns and overcoming adversity, he tucks his tail between his legs and leaves again.

7) "The Return" was an even shadier move.


He got spanked by the Spurs in the 2014 NBA Finals and had the nerve to come back to Cleveland after hanging them out to dry. Bold move, but a shady move no doubt.

8) No one was fooled by the headband.

It's basketball, not a fashion contest. Own your receding hairline instead of making it painfully obvious that you're embarrassed by it. But whatever you do, don't get hair plugs. Oh, wait...

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
