LeBron James responds to critics on Instagram

One day after leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first NBA championship, LeBron James basked in the adulation of the sports world but also found time to address his critics in a post on Instagram.

“They said u lost a step,” James wrote, “wasn’t explosive as once was, the best days was in the (rear) view, questioned your drive, your leadership, your commitment, you don’t have killer instinct, going back home is the worst mistake in your career, he got the coach fired, players traded, won’t work between him and Kyrie, Him and Kev won’t work, love your teammates to much, there’s no way he can deliver a championship in his hometown, etc etc etc…. But guess what THATS NONE OF MY BUSINESS #StriveForGreatness #ThisOneIsForTheLand #PutSomeRespeckOnMyName Hahahaha!!! Yes sir.”

That was James' second post since the start of the playoffs when he withdrew from social media to focus on basketball. He had one other post Monday night. It was a video of him holding the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy and caressing it, saying, "Oh, I love you so much. Don't ever leave me like that again."
