No, they don't. They may not like LeBron because of fandom, but 85%? You're full of shit, as usual. As an actual NBA fan who's pretty plugged in to the league, you're just flat wrong.
I browse NBA discussion forums and most Cavalier fans don't have a problem admitting that Lebron says a lot of dumb and ridiculous things. He definitely gets clowned far more than any other player in the league by fans. "My own family is spoiled getting to watch me play". He is respected for his talent, but his personality is something else. His teammates respect him so much that they either demand trades (Kyrie) or they sleep with his mother behind his back. All time great coaches like Pat Riley and Phil Jackson have said that Lebron is extremely unprofessional, and that he and his posse try to run the show behind the scenes (of course Lebron responded by playing the race card and basically calling Phil Jackson a racist for calling his friends a posse). Lebron is the Donald Trump of the NBA in terms of saying dumb shit.
