GAME 62: Clippers (42-19) @ Rockets (15-44)—Friday 5PM PDT

The way LeBron backpedaled off that tweet would put Rod Woodson or Neon Deion to shame.

Clown. He can have his Bubble Championship. I'm glad he's not representing this franchise.

It's a 50-50 country. Bron will keep his fans and keep his endorsements and the media will still give him the rosy Kaepernick treatment. But after this latest stunt his credibility as a social leader and influencer is down in Al Sharpton territory now. He will win no new hearts for his cause.

LOL and with three opportunities before him after deleting:
a) Delete it and be quiet;
b) Delete it and outwardly apologize and back off the tweet; or
c) Delete it and lie about why you deleted it while blaming society at large


This idiot actually chose c)

Fukin lol.

Hey Bron. People who don't politically/culturally agree with you watch sports, buy your shoes, are or have family members in law enforcement. Wake up

Ironic for me that seeing many of his games playing here in LA, my respect for him as a player--his talent, his leadership and his guts and grittiness--has risen considerably. I was at the point that this devoted Laker-hater didn't even mind when they won the Mickey Mouse Bubble Trophy last year.

LeBron won it. He earned it. And I guess the irony is that he still lives in a bubble. That's why he pulled this latest thing. Inside the NBA-BLM-media bubble [the LA Times sports page reads like MSNBC*], LeBron did nothing wrong. In fact, he's WEB DuBois, MLK, Marcus Garvey and Muhammad Ali rolled into one.

Especially Ali. Having conquered the sports world, LeBron seeks new worlds to conquer. But Muhammad paid with the 3 prime years of his career for his beliefs. Bron tweets. And sycophants like Grandstanderson** wipe his butt for him. Ali paid his dues in the real world, and as Quake points out, so does Michael Jordan. ["Republicans buy sneakers too."]

The problem here is that Bron can do or say whatever he wants but when there is no price to pay, what does it really mean?

In the PRINT edition here in LA it read

Making LeBron a villain is comic fantasy


So it goes inside vs outside the bubble. So it goes.

LeBron is the king of excuses, if they are down to us 2-1 and he realizes we are the better team he'll just pretend to be injured the rest of the series and "give up". He is a smart guy, he always sees the writing on the wall.

As said above, I most fear the Suns. And the Mavs, particularly Luka obviously. Lakers are a major question mark till I see AD and LeBron back with the team. If LeBron can take X amount of time off and come back like it's nothing, more credit to him. I don't see it, he needs at least 5-7 games OR a very easy 1st round matchup to get back on track. Playing us in the first round would be a dog fight, and I see us winning that in 6 w a rusty LBJ.

And mildly off topic but his comments re the Columbus police shooting were abhorrent and disgusting. He will be the villain this year, how he didn't get fined for that is beyond me.. Doing the movement a total disservice by not educating himself properly before posting misleading information.

Lebron James Led a fourth seed to the finals and dropped 51 points in the first game. If anyone can do it, its LeBron James.

LeBron James is not a villain this year. That's your personal dislike for him talking. He wasn't a villain after china. He won't be one here when he returns. Does he get blowback? Yes, he does for stuff he says, but it quickly dies down.

So YOUR personal dislike for him didn't grow after seeing his despicable tweets? His haters and people pissed at him have grown exponentially after that tweet. He is absolutely the villain this season, no one wants to see him win after things like that.

So..was he hated last night? Lol

I don't think so.

This is your view of him now, not view of reality

Reality is, LeBron is an athlete with a voice. LeBron James isn't a civil rights leader. He has a voice. Athletes don't speak for everyone. I gotta community work. His work to get the vote out, but he's a civil rights leader.


I think he deserved blowback for China and his error in the latest tweet but I don't think he's an evil guy. If you conservatives don't like him, don't support him. If you don't support him, then just ignore him when it comes to issues you don't agree with.

Like I said feelings won't change the masses how he's perceived whether you love LeBron James or hate lebron or just indifferent to him.

Pretty much what I said. 50-50 country. But he's in Al Sharpton territory now. He cannot advance the ball.
