LeBron James treats the game of basketball like he’s a high school senior in May who doesn’t need to go to college because he already has the keys to his dad’s business and every school day is ‘taught’ by a particularly apathetic substitute teacher who the students view more as a human piñata.
Being arguably the most impressive physical specimen the game has ever seen has it’s perks and those perks were put on egregious display in last night’s Lakers win over the Jazz. I mean, look at this, this is the equivalent of just pissing on center court…
He didn’t even need to travel there! He just did it because he can! And the ref just stood there watching while doing his best Stevie Wonder impression! If Jared Dudley did this he would be thrown in a North Korean prison! How!?!
Jazz announcers showed their frustration with LeBron coming into their home and doing what he damn well pleases in under 30 minutes of play–scoring 20 points and adding 12 assists–to lead the Lakers to a 25-point W in Mormon Land.
In the waning minutes of the fourth quarter with the game already in the bag, LeBron demonstrated his seniority by taking off his shoes and straight up walking onto the court from the bench to celebrate a defensive stand.
That level of disrespect can only be compared to telling those Jesus-freak Jazz fans that Jesus isn’t coming back.
For comparison, remember how there was a big to-do about Kevin Love sauntering off the bench and narrowly avoiding a suspension in a FINALS game.
God I wish I was 6’9”, 250 pounds and move like a Peregrine Falcon so I too could do whatever the fuck I want.
