In other words, making only a half-hearted effort.

And that's not what Michael Jordan ever did, or attempted to do. He never stopped giving his best, no matter if he's winning or losing. That's why he's Michael Jordan, having won six championships in his career.

Well, no more ado, here are media examples of the American expression, "mail it in":

But I'm sure that we can all say that LeBron James is hated by 90 percent of NBA fans. (the other 10 percent being Heat fans. And I use that term loosely for all those bandwagon jumpers.)

Anyway, in light of LeBron's recent efforts (if you can call it that) in the NBA Finals--I have decided to take my talents to this slideshow and attempt to rank the top 10 reasons why the vast majority of basketball fans hate "The King."

(Although this may come off as an angry fan rant, just seriously consider the points. By no means was this article composed to tarnish LeBron's reputation, but just to highlight why many fans regard him as the league's top villain.)
