What did LeBron learned about Malcolm X? He must’ve spent a lot of time reading in those pandemic times

Legend has it that LeBron is still working his way through Page 1 of that book.

Blow up Westbrook to his face? Or stay professional and say the right things until Westbrook is moved?


if my teammate didnt like the way i was playing i'd rather he tell me what he doesn't like and what changes he wants instead of being passive aggressive about it and then pretending he likes me to the public. like just man-up about it lol


...and then you and and anyone else eating this up would be right back here saying LeBron is throwing his teammate under the bus.

Not exactly breaking news here

Lebron is fake and unlikeable and AD is a spineless follower. Everybody already knew that. Thanks for confirming i guess?

According to Rich Paul "LeGM" is a legend and false narrative.

What was LeBron meant to say?

"Yeah I want you traded, you suck, in fact I wasn't sold on you coming to this team but went a long with it because you're longtime mentor of AD since before he was in the NBA".

This is the truth but you can't really tell someone this being the leader of the team where the player still plays. Nor do you want to say this to someone because you don't want to.hurt their feelings.

This definitely is a hilarious response. As someone who hasn't watched a movie in almost 12 years (except for language learning purposes), I find it strange that he wouldn't just admit he hasn't seen it.

Lebron in interviews and on podcasts is a walking meme.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Man, life as a NBA player really has to be tough, when the biggest issue you can point out is that Lebron can´t quote a line from his "favorite" movie :lol: . Think the best thing for the NBA would be that one and done means that every player has to work one year in an actual job, maybe then Multimillionaires in their mid 30s might not think like 12 year olds any more.

Especially when Bronny was already struggling like crazy in college, .366 field, .267 threes, 4.8 points per game.


Are you a father? :crazy: Based on that comment I believe you're not.

If my son has had health issues, is medically cleared and his dreams and aspirations are to play basketball at the highest level, I'll try to help him as much as I can. Every father would do that

Even someone who's never seen it can come up with "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse".


I have seen that movie once, I am not really a fan, also haven't read material it is based on. I remember young Pacino explaining his girlfriend about this, explaining how his don made offer the guy couldn't refuse, but I am not sure this quote you are saying is in a movie, I feel it is one of those things where everyone assumes its a quote from a movie altho its not. But I am not a fan of a movie and do not remember well, so maybe I am wrong, or maybe its from a second movie, I have only seen the first one.

No caring father would watch their son fail in college and think the NBA is a good idea.
Helping his son would be sending him back to college or into a foreign league to gain experience.

And during that time they would assess whether their son is good enough for the NBA, or whether their son will be ridiculed for nepotism forever.
Austin Rivers proved himself in college (!5.5ppg) before entering the NBA, that is not the case with Bronny.

And it makes even less sense just after a cardiac arrest, when there as no logical reason to rush Bronny into the NBA, since his father clearly was not retiring last season... because that's what this is really about, LeBron wanting Bronny in the NBA for LeBron.

One guy who doesn’t care what anybody thinks of him, the other guy who employs an entire payroll of media to defend his honor. It’s not surprising at all that they didn’t get along.
