Some people pat themselves on the back after a job well done. But narcissists like LeBron James pat themselves on the back before they’ve even accomplished anything.
Why wait until he actually scores his 30,000th point tonight, when he can get the jump on everyone else and be the first to congratulate himself?
In a bizarre post on Instagram.com on Tuesday, LeBron congratulates himself on the “accomplishment/achievement tonight that you’ll reach!” He tells himself that scoring 30,000 points has “never been a goal of his from the beginning” and he urges himself to “please try and take a moment” to bask in the glow of his own greatness.
The post reads like an over-dramatized, self-indulgent narcissist’s manifesto. It’s hard to believe his Cleveland Cavaliers lost 10 of their last 14 games to some of the leagues worst teams.
