In an appearance on Wednesday night's edition of "Primetime" on CNN, LeBron James replied that he thought race was a factor in the backlash to his decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers in free agency for the Miami Heat.
"I think so, at times," he told CNN correspondent Soledad O'Brien. "It's always, you know, a race factor."
LeBron is a jackass AND an idiot.

No Lebron it's not race as to why people don't like you. It's because Kobe is over in LA winning tons of championships and not talking any smack yet you have won NOTHING and are carrying on like you are a rock star. Karma is a bitch James and I hope it bites you in the ass.

Lebron, thank you for showing us this offseason what an immature classless idiot you are. I hope Miami misses the playoffs or loses to the NETS in the playoffs hahaha.
And NZT, have I claimed anything in the realm of race issues with my rooting for Italian soccer? Seems like you really wanted to bring it up for some reason regardless of whether it fit or not.

I was never a huge LeBron fan... But it is amazing how much damage he did to his "brand image" in just a few short months... Waiting for the tattoos, piercings, and wedding dress ala Rodman...lol

Lets remember that Kobe was a complete prima donna early in his career.

Kobe snubbed his former team, signed in LA, and upon signing had a media day where he comes up out of the floor with smoke and other effects while toting he's gunna win 6 titles in 6 years when he hadn't even won once?

LeBron was referring to the media/fan backlash I think.

if there was a so called backlash, i think it would relate to his economic status or his personality not his race
