"It's always, you know, a race factor." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegame346 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevil26 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZ Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsadvoc8 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Lets remember that Kobe was a complete prima donna early in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegame346 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 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?

Hi, I'm VALUE! Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 How the hell can it be a race thing? The whole NBA is black. (yes there a few who aren't but it's not a large amount) LeBron was referring to the media/fan backlash I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grcenter47 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 if there was a so called backlash, i think it would relate to his economic status or his personality not his race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
