Another hard-hitting RealGM WireTap article:
Headline: LeBron Claims His Shoes Are The Best 'For Unathletic White Guys'

Mike Miller wore LeBron James' Nike shoes to practice and was told by teammate DeShawn Stevenson, "We don't wear these around here."

"Mike is a good friend of mine," said James. "He named his son after my best friend, Maverick (Carter). We have a good history."

James said Miller should lace up his sneakers, though.

"For an unathletic white guy, these are the best shoes to wear," James said.

I'm surprised CNN hasn't picked this piece up yet.

If you didn't think it was worthy of being on the wiretap why did you make a thread about it?

It was just a joke. This is being blown out of proportion. People make jokes all the time using black and white to refer to people.

To make light of the recent racial tensions in these parts.

The title of the wiretap is bit misleading. He's saying that for an unathletic white guy, that his best choice is those shoes.

Ha, anyway, thought Stevenson's response was funnier. "We don't take kindly to you LeBron shoe-wearers around deez parts, ya hear?"

Huh? Are you being sarcastic? I took out the words "the" and "his" because the full title didn't fit.

You took out "are" too, you heartless bastard.

I guess for us athletic folks, shoes are redundant?
