Lebron to Critics, shut the f–k up!
Little did I know I would do a post on sports today? But, how about King James, aka; LeBron James? Have you ever seen a basketball player score the last 25 points his team scored versus a great defensive team? Keep in mind these are the NBA promoted,” Best Athletes in the World!” The men that make sport fans claim, I love this game! Did you see it?
King James dribbling around in the forth quarter with 3 of the Pistons chasing him, looking for an opening and suddenly launching a fade away 3 point shot, nothing but net. Now all you jock’s throw up a fade away 3 with nobody guarding you. Hard isn’t it?
Lebron burst on the scene as a high school phenom, who was so good his games were on national TV . As a high school senior his young mother brought a new Hummer SUV. The jealous national white media made it sound like this was a criminal act. LeBron was portrayed as a bad guy. Just think a 17 year old being talked about being a cause of what is wrong with young athletes. When I did my research, I discovered a kid, that was a good teammate in high school, was popular, not a gang banger, respectful of adults. That is why I root for him.
Lebron was crucified by the jealous white media after game one of this series for passing the ball to the open man, Dontrell Marshall, who missed the shot as the clock ran out. TheCcavaliers lost. Game 2 as the clock ran out, Lebron took the last shot, was fouled and missed. The foul was not called and the Cav’s lost again.
This week in Chicago, esteemed sports columnist Sam Smith nailed Lebron as being not a good fit for the Olympic team. Lebron had his game face on, all business and pissed off. Now the sport writers are calling him royalty. A few days ago he was a flop. Now he is the man.

Lebron was definitely blessed with people around him that cared - well before he was a young star. I read about his coach and family taking Lebron in to make sure he did well in school.
I don’t blame him for jumping into the NBA. Why risk some kind of injury in College so that some coach & university could make a million bucks off of him wearing a certain brand of shoes?
I’m not sure if it was the white national media that was really mad, I think it was the NCAA that was really pissed because they couldn’t exploit James for a few years before he went to the NBA!

James,
I was shocked to have a post on sports earlier this week as well.
We both touched on the same subject .. the evolution of King James (LeBron James).
His performance was truly remarkable. He was 11-for-14 during the 25 point run. His teammates were 0-for-10 during that same streak.
Should make for good TV tonight when they play Game #6.
peace, Villager

Doug, we have seen a star mature before our very eyes. I am very proud of King James

Villager, I do not know how this will play out but I hope Coach Brown figures out how to provide King James some help

We are truly witnesses…I got to see Jordan when he was great. Now I’m getting to see a great player from the very start.

Dame, LeBron showed a refuse to lose mentality we can all learn from

I believe it is Donyell Marshall, not Dontrell…

You are right, Donyell is a good player, He may have spent some time in Chicago, what did you think of LeBron and the rest of the post?
