Yeah sorry he’s never going to be as much a jerk as Jordan. I think you imagining that says as much about you trying to paint or justify your narrative as anyone else. Heck with Jordan playing in a much less scrutinized world it came out fairly early that his McDonald’s ad personality was a sham and he was a much different person behind closed doors. If James was like that we’d hear it.
I do agree he really does want to be liked and that trying over hard at that doesn’t help. As for playing GM well almost superstar players get to do that some. I judge him less for trying that though and am honestly more puzzled why he through Westbrook would ever be a fit for him. I get it that he just wanted a guy to be able to spell him minutes at running the offence but Russ at that point was not a good choice.
