Like somebody said if this clown couldn’t throw a ball he would be hanging off the back of a garbage truck.

LeBron James could not even hold Michael Jorden’s jock strap. It is a shame that a man with so much physical talent has so little mental ability.

Or Arvydas Sabonis' in his prime (before he came to the NBA).

LeBron James, “It’s all about my Benjamins.”

A lot of people built this moment. LeBron is a phenomenally gifted athlete with something less than a high school education. Anyone who thinks LeBron studied in high school is not paying attention. LeBron’s focus, his job, since the age of 8, has been to play basketball, which he has excelled at doing.

Now, LeBron is fabulously wealthy, with any number of hangers on telling him on a daily basis how good, and smart and wonderful he is. The media asks LeBron his opinion on any number of topics, as if playing basketball at a high level makes a person smart.

LeBron is a person of average intelligence, with a very sparse education. He’s been put in a position, (social commentary), where the best he can do is fail. Sure he’s filled with hubris, but it’s come to him through an enabling society.

It really isn’t much different than asking a homeless person what they think the fed should do at the next meeting.

Leave him alone-backs get a free pass. It’s the reparations thing.

LeBron, if he played when Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and John Stockton played, would not be a star. He is a high school uneducated hack.

Who gives a damn what this guy says. Just because he can play basketball doesn’t mean he has brains fro anything else or that his opinion iw worth anything.

This guy.. this moron, this coward is an insult to what I define as America?

America is the Federalist Papers.
America is the Declaration of Independence.
America is the The Constitution of the United States of America.
America is the Revolutionary War.
America is the War of 1812.
America is the Stars Spangled Banner.
America is the cotton gin.
America is the Civil War.
America is Gettysburg.
America is Lewis and Clark.
America is the Transcontinental Railway.
America is the Panama Canal.
America is the Hoover Dam.
America is Okinawa.
America is D-Day.
America is the Berlin Airlift.
America is the Moon Landing.
America is the Dream.
America is Arlington National Cemetery.

America is NOT #KingJames, who thinks very highly of himself. He did the NBA and America a great disservice. What a joke. What a small man. What an insult of a human being.

This intellectual lightweight probably believes China holds elections.

Maybe. He's well qualified to be a bouncer, as well.

LeBron seems to like making money off of the Chinese slave market.

If LeBron was a house slave in the antebellum south, he’d be the one snitching out all the other slaves to the overseer.
