He's got talent, that usually leads to opportunities regardless of perceived issues. Besides he can't even handle some gummies. Dude's a lightweight, teams have probably dealt with way worse situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Quote LeBron James says he won’t play if arenas empty due to coronavirus concerns Article everywhere, but on SN app. “Nah, that’s impossible,” James said after the Lakers’ 113-103 victory against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. “I ain’t playing. If I ain’t got the fans in the crowd, that’s what I play for. I play for my teammates, I play for the fans. That’s what it’s all about. If I show up to an arena, and there ain’t no fans there? I ain’t playing. So, they could do what they want to do.” I really hope he sits out, because he’s so out of touch with the rest of the world. 1. You know the Coronavirus is serious, right? 2. You know there’s TV revenue, ad revenue, sponsorship revenue? These jocks are so out of touch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 How good will G-State be next year? That game against the Raptors was pretty darn close and just with Steph back alone they already look a lot more competitive (with good spot up shooters for him to pass to, as well as Paschall and Wiggins). Just imagining next year Steph, Klay, Wiggins and Draymond and they're probably right back in the thick of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though probably the atmosphere would be quite different if it was quiet after every 3 or pretty pass. Can't really imagine the playoffs if there's no crowd hype, it would be much, much different.

Multi millionaire athletes, who live in a bubble and shut off from the rest of society, absolutely know the plight of what everyone goes through. Especially athletes that have had people wait on them hand and foot since they were 13. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van40 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Lebron James and Anthony Davis are the best duo in the league and beating the Bucks and Clippers was nice for the Lakers confidence. 35 years old and still one of the best in the game.

The man has been in the greatest player in the NBA talks since at least 07, that's 13 years of individual dominance(because I know some of you like to harp about his finals losses), that is unbelievable.... Top 2 and it really isn't close(GOAT in my eyes, especially if he wins another chip). Edited March 8, 2020 by Sikhguy23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care for LBJ the player, and always cheer against him, but I do respect the guy as both a player (top three all time for sure) and as a person. Greatest Laker ever for sure, both on and off the court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reply seemed (imho) to be dictated down to him from China (through Nike). Morey was being referred to as "ignorant" by most pro-China propagandists at the time. To me his reply was more egregious than James Harden apologizing for the incident. It truly exposed his whole social justice act, Lebron and his personality cult had been pushing a Muhammad Ali comparison, that was the day it became obvious that he ain't even fit to shine Ali's shoes. So desperate he was to play the victim, he had someone scribble something racist at his home and then drew a comparison to Emmett Till's mother. An attention seeking fraud, that's Lebron or as I refer to him now Lechina. Can talk tough when some Fox News airhead tells him to "shut up and dribble", but when the CCP and Nike crack the whip, Lebron will dance to their every tune. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebron's a terrible person for not fixing all the social injustices around the world. What a fraud.

If that's your conclusion, I can't blame you . I on the other hand only agree with the "fraud" part of it. Lebron is no different than any other spoiled rich diva athlete, so that would make him fairly average if there was a list of "terrible persons". He is also no different than the average narcissistic social media user. I think the dislike for him from me comes mainly from his personality cult that tries to hail him as something that he isn't. He is a great basketball player, he has made a whole lot of people associated with basketball a whole lot richer. If he were a CEO, they would have paid him like 100M/yr in his prime maybe more for how much value he brought to the association. He is not Muhammad Ali though, Ali answered to people far greater than the CCP and Phil Knight. If you want to proclaim Lebron James a successful basketball player, entrepreneur etc. then have at it. But the people around him go around pretending as if he is the greatest thing to humanity we have ever seen then, and people who see through the facade will scoff and rightfully so. Stop pretending you are something you are not and ask the clowns around you to pipe down. 8 hours ago, Van40 said: Btw what contributions have you made?
