LeBron James -- Most Valuable Loser

Overcompensation -- noun -- excessive reaction to a feeling of inferiority, guilt, or inadequacy leading to an exaggerated attempt to overcome the feeling ... especially when someone expected to win the NBA championship doesn't even make the finals.

LeBron James: Click to watch
LeBron James rocked this egotistical t-shirt during a shopping break in N.Y. yesterday.

For the record -- you won't see Kobe Bryant wearing a shirt with his individual accomplishments plastered on the front of it during his championship parade today -- he's gonna let the trophy do the talking.

32. Did he make that shirt himself? It looks ridiculous. Why doesn't he make a necklace of the MVP trophy and wear it everywhere. His big head will be able to hold the weight.

33.
HE EARNED THE TITLE AND IS ENTITLED TO WEAR WHATEVER HE WANTS. FREEDOM OF SPEECH REMEMBER!!!! AT LEAST IT WASN"T AN OBSCENE SAYING OR ILLUSTRATION THAT OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH ALLOWS.

MY SON IS A UNITED STATES MARINE SNIPER, HE EARNED THE TITLE AFTER SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING THE TRAINING AND 2 COMBAT TOURS, IS HE DEEMED EGOTISTICAL WHEN HE AND HIS FELLOW MARINE SNIPERS WEAR THEIR SNIPER T-SHIRTS? LEAVE LEBRON ALONE. HE TOOK WHAT GOD BLESSED HIM WITH AND TURNED IT TO GOLD!!!!!

39. Really? Egotisical shirt? First of all, the shirt worn by LBJ was a fan made shirt, which does show that he does care for his fans. Second of all, what does wearing that shirt have to do with making the NBA finals? How many MVP’s in the league didn’t make the finals before? I'm pretty sure that the last 6 or 7 MVP winners did not make the finals.

This isn’t the first time it’s happened. Just to show you how TMZ just loves to belittle people in the spotlight. Get out of your small ass L.A. apartment and your theoretical dollars. Whack ass site.

40. LeBron isn't ever going to be a Knick, get over yourself NY. Why would he want to? Knick's still suck and will continue to suck, Cav's don't. I'm 99% sure he will still be in Cleveland, but if not, don't get your hopes up NY, he'd be a Jersey boy with his buddy Jay-Z long before he would ever go to NY. Regarding class, LeBron has always acted with class and dignity, he slipped up once, by not going to the after game conference. Don't care if he shook hands with the Magic or not, Dwight Howard had just jacked a 3 in his face to end the game, I would have walked off too.

41. HAHAHAHA Kobe lovers saying Lebron is egotistical. That's way beyond the pot calling the kettle black. To all the people comparing Kobe to Lebron and saying Kobe is better because he has rings. I will flat out say it is a stone cold lock that if you put Kobe on the current Cavs team, they don't even make it to the conference finals. Put Phil Jackson on a team not pre-loaded with ringers and he's not "the greatest coach of all time". Who wouldn't be one of the winningest coaches in history coaching MJ, Shaq, and Kobe all in their prime??? Forrest Gump could coach that team to victory. Kobe had a great situation with Shaq. But once Sahq left, Kobe was JUST LIKE LEBRON for several years, unable to carry his team BY HIMSELF and he cried like a baby and demanded trades until they surrounded him with enough talent to get him over the hump. Lebron's shirt is an obvious play on the old RUN-DMC logo. Lastly, as for the baby mama comment. He is with his old HS sweetheart. When he finally does buy her a real ring (and not a "I'm sorry for the whole little raping that chick in Colorado misunderstanding ring), all that noise will cease. Plus, last time I checked, Lebron's woman didn't have her maid dig through dog poop for a receipt like a certain evil, pointy eyebrow, big-toothed troll.

All that being said, it was a bitch move by Lebron not to shake the Magic's hand. I don't want to hear all that weak talk about not congratulating your conqueror. Then again, Kobe dry-snitched on Shaq the minute the police started questioning him about his rape, so despite all their teeth gritting and chest thumping and tats, and tough guy antics on the court, I think both these jokers have some kool aid pumping through their veins. And they can't deny it.

42. Bunch of whining Cavs fans trying to justify why LeBron is such a pig. And this is not the first time that he refused to shake the other team's hand when he lost. He's a big-ass cry baby.

43. Da Commish- you sound you're three years old. "He did it so I can, too." LeBron is a punk and now the whole world knows.

44. Gotta love the homers of TMZ, LeBron is clearly superior in almost every facet of his game at this point and if he had the teammates that KB24 had he would've won a NBA championship too. But I must agree this shirt is extremely douchey, but Kobe matches his douchey-ness not with the clothes he wears but with his extreme smugness and all his out actions. LB23 is a much better teammate KB24 is a team chemistry killer!
