LeBron Needs to Shut Up

Link in title.

LeBron James, made a proclamation the other day that the NBA should retire Michael Jordon's number 23 for all eternity.  He even said that next year he's going to wear number 6 to honor... something, who gives a shit?  Probably to rub it in that his dick flops 6 inches to the floor when he stands up... on his tippie toes, on a bar stool.  Mine's not 6 inches form the ground when I'm doing push-ups. Seriously, I even mean when I'm in the downward position half way through the damn push-up.  Give me a break I'm white.

Also see this link, he also mentioned that he wants to play tight end for some football team.  Jason Whitlock a contributor on Fox Sports dot com (I'm clever, I spelled the dot) also shares my opinion.

Whitlock's Opinion

Here it is: LeBron, shut the fuck up!  I had hoped you would be that shining light in basketball that takes the attention away from all of the Ron Artests and what's the name of that black guy that plays basketball?  Anyways he played for the 76's and just left his team, he's kind of short for a basketballer, came out of Georgetown... Allen Iverson.  I really don't care enough to check the spelling on their names.  I had hoped that LeBron would be that polarizing figure that people would look at and say, "best of all time."  Instead he's simply showing his immaturity and turning off a lot of people at the same time.  He's a great ball player but he is now thinking that he's bigger than the league itself.  He now has let fame and fortune get to his head.

So far he's walked off the court after a lose to the Magic (a year or so ago) and said you don't congratulate the person who just whipped you.  Yes you do asshole, it's called good sportsmanship.  He is always bringing up trade rumors with the press, yet says he doesn't want to talk about it.  Way to respect your team and coach.  He makes this big retire 23 statement.  Go fuck yourself, you're not so big that the whole league will buckle to everyone of your dumb demands.  Now you want to go play football?  Brain surgery, you can shoot a ball well, why don't you try brain surgery.  It's all relative right?  All the hard work every other professional put into their field is trumped by the fact that you happen to be good at one thing, ball?

I'm ticked off because I'm disappointed.  You played an act for the first few years of your career and we all bought it.  Now the real James is coming out.  The LeBron that is all about LeBron.  Jordon was always a role model.  He was good and we knew it, he knew it, everyone knew it.  He didn't make social or political statements or was a sore loser.  He was a role model that everyone looked up to.  I'm willing to bet that your behavior is nothing then a reflection of your upbringing, but that's a different column.  You're a shallow person James.  Instead of King James, we should call you something that more reflects you, Court Jester James.
