Damn...That's just harsh.
LeBron James Is A sucker
Tomorrow is the day LeBron James becomes the most unlikable person in the NBA, and perhaps all of American sports. I used to think he was okay a year ago. No more. He's the villain now.
It doesn't matter where he opts to go. If he goes to Chicago, he's a sucker. If he goes to Miami, he's a sucker. Even if he goes back to Cleveland, he's a goddamn sucker. He's a self-aggrandizing sack of , and ESPN is a bunch of pussy-whipped enablers for giving him a free hour of airtime tomorrow night and inevitably using 55 minutes of it to let Stu Scott give him a rimjob.
Look at what Kevin Durant did today. He signed an extension well before he could have filed for free agency, announced the signing, and then went back about his business. He didn't need all this dog-and-pony show bull . James does, and that means he's a dip . People have been kissing this man's ass SINCE ING MIDDLE SCHOOL, and he still needs this hourlong AFI tribute special? Bull . BULL .
And I don't care that he asked ESPN to use the commercial airtime tomorrow night to go to charity. That's the most transparent use of charity for the sake of self-glorification I've seen since I saw some actor do it yesterday. "Hey ESPN, why don't you spend an hour kissing my ass? Oh, don't worry. We'll give the money to AIDS babies. That totally makes me selfless." No, it doesn't.
And YOU to ESPN for going along with this "Bonds on Bonds" redux. If an ESPN reporter found concrete proof tomorrow morning that James was going to Cleveland or somewhere else, do you think ESPN would let him run with it? AND NO. They'd stick him in a ing Lucite box and throw him in the cellar until 10PM. They're the whoringest s that have ever d. I heard they offered LeBron's crew free blowjobs if he wins a le next year. Wilbon asked to blow him JUST A LITTLE BIT. Not much. Just a little bit.
LeBron is now the guy you openly root against. If he leaves Cleveland tomorrow night, he'll have needlessly strung along an entire fanbase and given them the middle finger by making their breakup spectacularly public. If he stays, he'll have spent two years teasing the rest of the world about going somewhere else when he probably never wanted to leave Ohio to begin with. There's no end result tomorrow that makes LeBron a sympathetic figure. He's already gone past the point of no return. He's a sucker. Fitting that his most memorable career moment will come when he doesn't even take a ing shot. He's a guy that cares more about the end result of playing basketball – massive, unending adulation – than he does actual basketball.
I don't begrudge him that at ude. I'd be the same way if I were a basketball player. All I'd give a about would be what I make and where I'm drinking tonight. And I don't begrudge him the right to play somewhere other than Cleveland. It's Cleveland. It blows. There's nothing to do in that town except masturbate and cry. But there's a normal way of doing things, and there's the way of doing things, and making your own free agency a two-year drama capped off with an infomercial directed by Senor Spielbergo falls squarely in the purview of FLAMING ING MOVES. James is trying to bull the world into believing this whole process is some great entertainment he's lavishing upon you. It's not. It's a con. Right now, a lot of people aren't buying the this man is selling. And really, that's all LeBron James is these days: a ing salesman.

Sounds like he can be someone off the NBA forum, which is exactly why I was lol'ing the whole time I was reading this. I never realized how hilarious the word sucker is.
Sounds like me the past 2 days.
If you don't know I'm the opposite of MiamiHeat. He worships LBJ and Wade and hates on Kobe like no other. I hate on LBJ and admire Kobe's game. I feel like I have justification though because what LeBron has in talent he lacks in maturity.
Nasty.
Spot on. James is a massive egomaniac and no-one ever calls him on it. ESPN should be ashamed of themselves for enabling him.
MJ was an arsehole, and an egomaniac, but he never pulled any like this and he always loved and respected the game. LBJ not so much.
No, he's a sucker.
This article was ing hilarious . It was all about " sucker" and giving blowjobs more than anything else in this article .
I loved this part:
"Wilbon asked to blow him JUST A LITTLE BIT. Not much. Just a little bit."
How else is Deadspin going to get attention in a media circus like this?
Lmaoo this part made me in crack up
"Wilbon asked to blow him JUST A LITTLE BIT. Not much. Just a little bit."

Tbh this is a smart move by Deadspin. In a saturated market like this where everyone is offering the same few takes a thousand different ways, what's one sure fire way to get attention for yourself if your a blog?
Amp up the vulgarity. Make an outrageous, over the top article to get yourself noticed somehow. It's almost like they copied and pasted the same arguments everyone else has been using elsewhere and changed them to include a curse word every fifth word or so.
My favorite line was "It's Cleveland. It blows. There's nothing to do in that town except masturbate and cry.".
i think he shouldve just kept it low and announce it like everyone else instead of havin his 1hr bs on espn
seriously he is free to go where ever he wants since his a FA, he has already honored his previous contract, and the cavs fo shouldve known this by now since he only signed 3 years in his previous extention and they did what they can but it was still trash pieces
fify deadspin style
Funny
