Yeah, but almost all of them were more or less the kings of their high school (then college). They were at least relatively normal until they get well into their teens. Even with the murderous AAU circuit we have now, kids aren't that hyped that early. Lebron had national attention and the adulation of people he…

I also think it's relevant that Lebron is the first player to have the kind of adolescence that he did, where from middle school onward he had scores of adults telling him he was amazing. I think that would make anyone pretty poorly-adjusted.

Between Durant, Rose, Rondo, Nowtzki, and Duncan the all-NBA introvert 1st team is pretty stacked these days.

Oh, I don't disagree that Durant is much more likable than Lebron (Lebron, after all, has that stupid Chosen1 tattoo, and all of Durant's tattoos combined are nowhere near that narcissistic). But people are spoiled by his play. If he puts up a 30-7-7 (which he's done a number of times) it's just another game from…

Off-topic: how about Lebron casually reminding everyone that he's pretty easily the best basketball player alive (45 points on 26 shots, 15 rebounds, 5 assists in an elimination game)? I'm indifferent between the Thunder and Heat for the championship, since the Thunder are a pretty likable bunch but I also think that…

I watched through some clips on YouTube, including the one I've read about before where Bob is just sort of crawling toward the viewer over furniture. Maybe they need the context of full episodes but I don't get it.  There just seems to be the constant overtone of "this is supposed to be ominous".

OK, I swear this isn't me trying to be the macho brave internet man, but what exactly is scary about BOB? I've never seen an entire episode of Twin Peaks but from what I can tell BOB is just a weird guy, I don't understand the absolute terror he seems to inspire.
