Things are already sideways in Miami with the "Three Kings" of whatever the hell they are calling themselves. Pat Riley is warming up on the practice court. LeBron is bumping Coach Spo. Wade is refusing to call him "my guy." Chris Bosh is becoming the incredible, stat shrinking "star."
And now, Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski drops this bomb.
This season, James is hearing a word seldom uttered to him in Cleveland: “No.” And it keeps coming out of the coach’s mouth, keeps getting between the King and what he wants.Can I stay overnight to party in New Orleans after a preseason game?
Can I play the clown in practice?
Can I get out of playing point guard?
No. No. No.
Wait, what?
No, LeBron.
No.
Read it all. It's well worth the click.
And Michael Jordan has his "rebuttal" to the idiotic LeBron "what should I do" commercial.
That's the first time I have seen the MJ response. DAMN!!! That was nice and well said.

Yeah, real great rebuttal. More like genius marketing... since THEY BOTH FUCKING WORK FOR NIKE!!!
ReplyDeleteGot a friend who covers the NBA, and he said the word is out that if you can get LeBron into a "tit for tat" scoring competition during a game, he will TOTALLY focus on that and become the "me" guy. This thing is blowing up faster than the Houston Rockets trio of Olajuwon, Barkley, and Pippen. 2 stars make a team awesome; 3 stars make them mediocre...
ReplyDeleteIts been said before, but its worth repeating. What made MJ great was he was driven to win at any cost. LBJ might have the same talent, but no drive. His drive is to become an icon, not a winner.
ReplyDeleteLove it, Czabe! I listen tto you every morning. Your take on the Redskins is always more refreshing than what you get from the "Rah Rah" guys on Monday Morning Quarterback. Thought you might get a kick out of this bit on my blog - a fake interview with LeBron that rips him a new one (I'm not trying to be aspammer so if you like just edit out the link) - http://glitternight.com/2010/11/26/fake-q-and-a-with-lebron-james/
ReplyDeleteThat's good and all, but isn't this just one Nike spokesperson ripping another to keep people talking about Nike?
ReplyDeleteits not real, just very clever youtubery
ReplyDeleteto be honest, i cant help but think that if the heat start fulfilling potential-looked really scary last night - all this is going to wash away just like it did for kobe (and mj before the internet age)
