Opening a museum dedicated to yourself is kind of baller

[–] Neat-Taste8834@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why are people hating? He’s bringing tourist money into his hometown

Come see the King of Narcissists for a low low price of $23

I’m a big LeBron fan who’s defended him from saying he’s the goat, but this is tacky.

[–] 00Stealthy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

got hubris, much? Must be laying the floors with 24 carat gold for the admission set at $23 or maybe he needs the income

In 7 years once the Museum isn't generating enough funds to stay open, Lebron will move the museum to Miami.

If I were rich, I'd help the world, but also do some unnecessary things like this. I really don't have an opinion. Do your thing, king.

The narcissism really knows no limits with this guy

[–] SHRLNeN@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Reason #19784 why I will never consider him the GOAT.

I think the discussion on this is interesting to see.

Is it perhaps somewhat narcissist? Sure. But apparently the profits are going straight to Akron. Of course many on this thread may not know this, which is kind of important - if he opened this museum for his own profit, that's something. But if it's basically just a fundraiser for his hometown that uses his name and fame, I have no problem with that at all. Maybe he needs better PR.

And the truth is... ok, sure, maybe he's a narcissist to some extent or another. But there's never really been any meaningful scandal around LeBron.

I would imagine, for instance, a lot of the people criticizing him on this thread love Kobe, who basically is a rapist. I'd much rather have a narcissist that helps his hometown with his narcissism than a rapist.

If Jerry Smith could open up a museum about himself 😂

[–] yeorpy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

LeHistory to be seen

LeBron haters are mad

[–] Simple-Account-2490@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Narcissist doing narcissist things.

[–] averagecucklord@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Now this is a new level for a professional athlete.

[–] k1pml@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nothing like having a giant ego to go along with it. 23$ admission? Should be free. Giving back to your community should not have a charge.

[–] roycorda@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Who the fuck opens a museum up about their own career while still active in that career? LeGrift

[–] spaceninj@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's so corny.

[–] thelove20@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

$23? no thanks

[–] bangharder@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Who is going there?

[–] ChicagoLaurie@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The $23 entry fee is a reference to his jersey number, 23.

[–] Typical-Future2963@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This sounds dystopian 💀

[–] redditadminzRdumb@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s a real bitch for this ngl

[–] MariosMustacheRides@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Better make the doors HUGE so he can fit that big ass head through them.

[–] Legitimate-City9457@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Clearly this is for the local community bc ain’t nobody going out of their way to go to Akron

[–] Addscks@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's great to think that I might be able to indirectly help some people by buying one of his signature shoes. Maybe that's not a good excuse to buy shoes...maybe? But I honestly think so and I'll probably buy a pair of his sneakers in the future.
