Game 7 ^ | October 13, 2020 | Carlos Garcia

LeBron James led the Los Angeles Lakers to their 17th franchise championship this past Sunday night. With a 106-93 victory over the Miami Heat, James officially won his fourth title on his third different team.

During the postgame celebrations, while Rajon Rondo’s young son was drinking something or other, James could be seen doing a bunch of different handshakes and gestures with his teammates. One of them caught the eye of the Gangster Disciples, a notorious criminal organization formed in the South Side of Chicago in the late 1960s.

Maybe the gangster disciples will do the country a favor. Not surprised he glorifies a violent gang . He probably thought it was cool , him being a liberal and all.

LeBron is a perfect buffoon. It’s a good thing he knows how to play with a basketball ... otherwise, I have NO idea what someone that stupid would DO for a living.

Sigh....Congratulations, America. You know we’ve failed as a Nation when we’re all getting pulled into gang culture. Isn’t Social Media great?

If current trends continue, gangstas will be the only viewers of the NBA.

You don’t have to click on a blog to “SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!”

Just post it here. All the info is from other sources.

***********

Specifically, James was accused of “dropping rakes” during the championship festivities, a gesture viewed as being disrespectful towards the Gangster Disciples.

Lebron droppin’ the rakes yakwtfgo

According to MTONews.com, the “most visited African American News Network,” James “upset many in Chicago’s largest gang, the Gangster Disciples” with his actions.

“And some in the dangerous gang think that Lebron was deliberately taunting them with his hand gestures – and are now threatening the NBA star on social media,” the report continued.

People immediately took to social media to respond.

As of Tuesday, James has yet to comment on the internet chatter regarding his postgame celebration. That said, it’s hard to imagine that he intentionally sought out to disrespect any gang on national television. More likely than not, the whole thing is just one big misunderstanding.

Fewer and fewer people watch or care about this large man who is capable of incredible physical gyrations. In fact people are less amused than offended.

Is this like the OK sign being a White Power salute? You can make all sorts of random gestures that can look menacing in a moment of time.

The same people watching college sports. Because as we all know our colleges and universities are all bastions of conservative thought and robust patriotism.
