Every casual NBA player got a PR agent. And you think LeBron James, a $50m-one-man-company, doesn't chose his words wisely?

To an extent, but to act like he sits and contemplates whether or not to use inspiration or motivation is ridiculous.

Stern needs to fine him ASAP. Inspiration and motivation are just so unbelievably different words LeBron should be held accountable for his actions.

That's right, inspiration-motivation - doesn't matter.
But still, I'm sure those words are not HIS words. The sense of such a statement is the result of PR work.
I'm not criticizing LeBron tho, it's just how it works nowadays.

I think Lebron meant Motivation.

2nd time the Blazers picked a big man over the next great superstar. Man, I'd be traumatized if I were a Blazers fan.

LeBron compliments another star: gets hated on for using some kind of words. He gets hated on for not recognizing Westbrook. If he told something about Kobe like Kobe said about Melo/LeBron I can't even imagine the hate he would get...

Some fans just don't know when it is getting ridiculous...
