I have to disagree. I had a pair of his shoes last year and they were horrible to play in. I ended up giving them away. Maybe these new ones are great. I dont know but I'm not risking it.

Im not white or black.

But if a white guy came out and said "My shoe is made for Unathletic black guys"

How would that go?


The white guy would obviously be racist :lol:

I hate LeBron, but this is obviously just friendly peer ribbing.

Anyone taking offense to LeBron's comments seriously needs to get a clue.

I'd say anyone taking offense to anything in this regard seriously needs to get a clue. Or at least a hobby.

Ok i have a quick question, and maybe I'm off base on this but whatever...

At first Lebron knew nothing about the story, the reporters were telling him the details of the story and he was taking it all in like it was the first time he heard it...

If this is the case, then how in the world would he have the Mike Miller quote memorized?...He knew nothing about it right?

So basically I'm saying that maybe he wasn't just quoting Mike Miller, it just seems like he was, because he was supposed to have no knowledge of the story.

Right?

He also told he knows Miller very well so they probably had that conversation about his shoes before...

Right?

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


no

the word "The" changes the whole meaning of the sentence

the way you wrote it, it means that on a list of people the shoe would be good for, Unathletic White Guys are at the top

with the "The," it means that his shoes top the list of shoes for Unathletic White Guys

very business savvy move by lebron, while they may be the best shoes for unathletic white guys they cost a pretty penny. and who has the money to afford these? why it's the unathletic white guys.
