LeBron's A Baby!
2009-07-24
I was really gonna let it die. Forget about it. I really tried but it still pisses me off. Why is LeBron such a baby? Sure he’s about the best basketball player on earth these days except for probably Kobe (many rings but who the hell would want to play with him?) so he should know better than to big time some college kid. I mean in the real world when you get dunked on you deal with it and keep playing. Not King LeBron. No, not him. As everybody now knows he got a facial from this dude Jordan Crawford from Xavier and instead of heading up the court and trying to return the favor he asks one of his people to swipe any video in the gym that could end up embarrassing him for years on Youtube. So it’s ok for him to throw down on a butt load of players in the NBA and have it on Sports Center and yeah Youtube but one little video of a kid flushing it in his face he can’t deal with it? That’s a wuss. Look it up in the dictionary under LeBron and you’ll find it.
Now some of you out there are probably saying who the hell cares what this monster freak of a basketball player does? I mean there are a lot of more important things to bitch about I guess. So many things that it gives me a headache but right now this just bugs the crap out of me and I can’t keep quiet. Maybe cuz it reminds me of when I beat Kenny Jantzen in Yahtzee when I was in the 6th grade. Kenny killed everyone in our neighborhood at Yahtzee. We all used to play every summer until we started liking girls. Then most of us started playing twister with them and it was way more fun. Anyway, the one time I ever did beat Kenny it was a day I’ll never forget. I had like 6 Yahtzee’s in a row. Maybe a world record, don’t know for sure but it was the best run I ever had at any game and it was totally awesome. Yeah I felt like rubbing it in, maybe make Kenny feel like a waste of human flesh but I didn’t cuz I knew it was a one in a million kind of deal and because Kenny took it like a man. He even got out a One Step Polaroid camera and had someone take a picture with my score on the pad next to our faces. You see that’s what a real winner does. He knows that by losing a couple times he makes everyone feel better and they don’t quit cuz they never win. It gives him the chance to beat everyone a lot more times. Smart huh?
Oh yeah, did everyone see what Lebron did when his team lost in game 6 of the Eastern Finals this year? How about walking off the court without even shaking hands or saying anything to Dwight Howard and the other Magic players. It’s one thing to lose and another to lose and go out like a spoiled brat. When the going gets tough LeBron exited stage left. Would it have killed him to show kids that you don’t punk out when you lose? I wish Kenny Jantzen could sit him down and spell out what a real winner does. Like if he can only handle shaking hands after he wins then maybe all the teams Cleveland beats next season should line up to start to shake hands with him before all 12 players yell “Psyche” together and walk away. Man that would take about half the fun of winning away from him cuz it feels so good to have the loser, any loser shake your hand and say "good game". You can’t buy that feeling no matter who many millions you got socked away. They say LeBron is worth around a zillion dollars these days but no amount of money is going to make people forget about him being such a weak ass baby.
So I guess it’s his call right now. I mean he could hit up his Nike dudes and tell them to find the two tapes they took and give it back to the guys who shot them. He could send an email to the college kid, maybe a “nice slam” and see you again someday in the league. It would be cool. And while he’s at it maybe he could ring up Dwight Howard and tell him good luck against LA. Yeah, I know they already got beat by them awhile ago but better late than never. Sometime soon it’s going to be Dwight having to bump fists with LeBron after getting beat and I’m pretty sure he’s gonna do what he has to cuz he knows what goes around comes around in hoops. Both of them skipped college and went right into the NBA out of high school. One of them was taught how to handle their business win or lose and one of them was just told how great he was. I think the King has no clothes these days. Hope he figures it out soon. Later

If you email Spike, he'll read it.
