"To see what type of words that are said toward me and towards us as professional athletes. Everybody thinks it is a bed of roses and it's not."
MIAMI -- LeBron James started his own Twitter account in July because he wanted to be more in touch with fans and, as it has turned out, his non-fans.
“To illustrate that sometimes unpleasant interaction, James took the unusual step of retweeting some hateful Twitter messages to his 900,000 followers on Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday, the Miami Heat star said he did it to show people what he deals with on a daily basis.I just want you guys to see it also. To see what type of words that are said toward me and towards us as professional athletes. Everybody thinks it is a bed of roses and it's not.
” -- LeBron James
James published three negative tweets on his feed including one that was racially charged.
"I just want you guys to see it also," James said after the Heat's practice Wednesday afternoon. "To see what type of words that are said toward me and towards us as professional athletes. Everybody thinks it is a bed of roses and it's not."
In one message a person wrote that James is "a big nosed big lipped bug eyed (racial slur). Ur greedy, u try to hide ur ghettoness."
Last month in an interview with CNN, James said that he felt some of the backlash aimed at him after his decision to sign with the Heat was racially based.
In another message James made public he was called a "fraud" and a " " and in another tweet the writer wrote "why don't u speak by laying ur head under a moving car."
James often retweets messages from friends and fans but they are usually positive ones. But he said he reads the negative messages for motivational purposes.
"You're always going to have people who love you and who hate you," James said. "I have enough motivation but I can always use a little more."

shut up Lebron, you got.
Bawwwww
poor ing lebron, first he is treated as a slave and now this, when will it end
oh christ, harden the up. no other athlete does this coz they don't have the mental strength of a baby mouse
People can be so mean sometimes Poor Lebron.
So he's letting the world know he receives hate mail just like every other celebrity sans myself...
lifes hard when you're playing the sport you love and earning millions and millions as a result
That, my friend, is called slavery.
Dude wants to be the King, but can't even handle a little internet trolling.
Lebron's trolling has been outstanding this Summer..
Also,at most of these "Lebron news" threads being created by Laker fans, like this one, where it's a random Laker fan that I've never even heard of..
Was probably Mav Carter .....
Someone should tweet a Spurstalk link to Lebron...he might re-tweet our comments.
Lebroom
i need to go make a twitter account and troll lebron
lol
"The Decision" 1 hour special and the "Taking my talents" gave people an excuse to hate on him
all will be well once they are winning on the court though
Not in my book, Lebron proves nothing if he wins. Winning a championship as Dwayne Wade's co-star is something a past his prime Shaq did.
Ha ha, someone should.
Lebron doing what he's suppose to do, keep people talking about him. What an attention
LeBron is like Vulv: they both let their mouths overload their asses.
You're always going to have people who love you and who hate you," James said. "I have enough motivation but I can always use a little more
LeHype needs to stop sitting down when he takes a piss and man the up.
