Lebron James: Large and in charge
2009-10-15 05:34:00 LeBron James (center) with St. Vincent-St. Mary basketball team, as seen in "More Than a Game." Lionsgate photoBy Matt PaisMetromixLeBron James is practically overflowing with confidence. You can't really blame him.The 24-year-old Cleveland Cavaliers star has been the NBA MVP. He almost has more endorsement deals--Nike, Sprite, Vitamin Water to name a few--than there are products to endorse. He has shown an ability to laugh at himself while hosting "Saturday Night Live" and ESPN's ESPY Awards. He was labeled as "The Chosen One" on the cover of Sports Illustrated while still in high school. He has met, he says, nearly everyone he's ever wanted to meet--including Michael Jordan, President Obama and Oprah--and "I wasn't too nervous at all."Of course, every...

LEBRON JAMES FINED $25,000
2009-06-05 15:27:00 NBA Commissioner David Stern announced on Thursday that Lebron James has been fined $25,000 for basically bad sportsmanship and not speaking with the media after the Cavaliers lost on Saturday to the Orlando Magic. David Sterns spoke to Lebron James and this is what he had to say."I spoke with LeBron James and he expressed to me that when he left the building and did not meet with the media and congratulate the Magic, he was wrong."He asked that I express to the media, to the Magic and to the fans his apologies.WOW! Couldn't Lebron have expressed his apologies himself??? I was not expecting him to be fined for just walking off. But you know being a basketball player is a job and your bosses expect you to act professional and with good sportsmanship. source

LeBron James likes N.Y., (Cleveland, L.A., Florida and Jupiter, too!)
2008-07-14 09:32:00 Asked about the different stories he told various reporters, including conflicting statements about his age, hometown and even his full name, Dizzy Dean said, "Them ain't lies. Them's scoops."These days, LeBron James is channeling Ol' Diz.On June 29, James told WKNR 850's Mark "Munch" Bishop, "I'm dedicated to bringing a championship to this city. I'm bringing a parade to this city. I love this city. I love Northeast Ohio. Right now, I can't see myself going anywhere else."The next week, he called New York his favorite city and Brooklyn his favorite borough in it.Since the Nets are to move to Brooklyn in time for James' free-agency season in 2010, and since James' friend, the rapper Jay-Z, has a small part of the Nets' ownership, this was proof that James was halfway out The Q's door.Except James has a pattern of pledging his allegiance to various teams and various places --- at various times.He convinced a Sports Illustrated reporter that he was an Ohio State fan in earl...

P2 finishes with 41, King James 45, but in the end the Celtics advance and you can't be surprised. The home team won every game. Peep some of the action here. Pierce and 'Bron are some beasts, boy. Here's what the King told the Associated Press after the loss: "We both tried to will our team to victory and, just like Dominique Wilkins, I ended up on the short end and the Celtics won again. I think the second round of the postseason, Game 7, these fans will finally have an opportunity to forget a little bit about what Larry Bird and Dominique Wilkins did and remember what Paul and LeBron did. This will go down in history." Yea, that's pretty much right on point. Game 7 will go down in history ... without a doubt. That sh*t was crazy between LeBron and Pierce. At one point in the second half, LeBron said he looked over ...

Celtics-Cavaliers: Pierce and Allen Finally Heat Up, LeBron James Doesn't
2008-05-09 07:01:00 That?ll teach me to question the Celtics? bench.All season long the ?experts? have pointed to the Celtics? bench, calling it their biggest weakness. It was supposed to be the thing that was going to prevent them from winning a championship (well, the other thing?but they can?t question the point guard position anymore). Once again, the Celtics? bench proved everyone (including me) wrong. They not only were better than the Cavs? bench on Thursday, but they were better than the Cavs starters.The victory for the Celtics began with the bench taking over the game towards the end of the first quarter. They brought an energy into the game that was, for whatever reason, missing at the start as the Celtics fell behind by twelve points early. The Cavs struggles, meanwhile, begin and end with LeBron James. LeBron James just cannot figure out James Posey. Posey?s long arms and extremely active and energetic defensive style has given him fits. LeBron hasn?t just been human in the first two gam...
Bad Tipper: LeBron James Tips 1.25% on $800 Tab
2008-05-09 03:27:00 LeBron James might be the ‘King of Akron’ but he is not going to have too many waiters lining up to serve him and his posse in Cleveland if he continues to tip 1.25% on $800 tabs. Here is how it all went down: It went down like this: LeBron pulls up in his Mercedes outside XO. People stop and try not to stare, but c’mon, it’s LeBron James. He enters the restaurant with a group of friends. On this special occasion, the King decides to dine late. He keeps his group there until around 3:45 a.m. During this time the waiter obsequiously pours drinks and fetches anything else His Greatness needs. The final bill comes to $800. By the feudal laws of decorum, which stipulate that the affluent should administer a 20 percent gratuity, staffers figured they’d be pocketing an extra $160. But when they fetched the autographed bill after His Heinousness bolted back to Akron, their expectation turned to disbelief, then anger. LeBron stiffed them with a meager $10 tip. ...

Vogue April 2008 Gisele Bundchen & LeBron James
2008-03-31 21:00:00 Is Vogue’s April 2008 cover Racist? In Vogue’s history (over 100 years) this is the first time a black man is featured on the cover. Gisele Bundchen and LeBron James are at the center of a controversy. Some have compared the pic to a King Kong clutching a white woman and the teeth baring look on LeBron demeaning. I can see both sides of this argument. On one side big deal, “races” have been mixing and the fact that Gisele is from Brazil is interesting since Brazil (like America) has a long, and at times, somewhat unpleasant history of inter-racial relations. On the other hand it is insulting, why would he be clutching her like that in that setting, wearing that! Vogue has waited all this time and this is what we get? Not to discount LeBron’s fabulousness BUT… there have been countless black men that have been “on top of their game” and not featured. What’s so different about April 2008? It’s the only time in...

Gisele Bündchen and LeBron James Vogue Cover Controversy
2008-03-29 00:29:00 I think I've already seen quite a few sites covering the topic of Vogue's most recent cover, featuring LeBron James and model Gisele Bündchen. And, it's started a bit of a controversy, with some claiming that the depiction of LeBron and Giselle is racist by showing James in a King Kong-like pose, embracing a white woman à la Fay Wray. Personally, I think it's much ado about nothing, with Giselle looking more like a perfectly content piece of arm candy on the arm of a professional athlete (which she is in real life) than an actual "damsel in distress." And don't most athletes like to portray themselves as menacing forces of nature when they're on the court/field/pitch/wherever it is they're competing? More than anything, his stance reminds me of the Maori Haka dance that the New Zealand rugby team does before their matches to intimidate the opposing team. And as for Gisele, she's just smiling and looking pretty, which is pretty much her job description. But I'd much ra...

Russell Simmons Comments on Lebron James Vogue Cover
2008-03-25 20:44:00 Last week the new issue of Vogue Magazine featuring Lebron James and Gisele Bundchen generated some controversy as to whether it was playing on racist stereotypes.From Show Biz Blog:“…the mag’s new cover of basketball great LeBron James and model Gisele Bundchen has some fuming. The image shows a screaming, basketball-dribbling African American giant with his arm around a blonde beauty.Calling it a modern-day interpretation of King Kong and Fay Wray, Feministe website writer Ali Eteraz referred to the image by Annie Leibovitz as “King James Turned Into King Kong.†She also said the cover “fulfills every racist stereotype in the world: primal screaming, white-girl carrying, black beast.â€Russell Simmons played down this notion stating:The great American hero, Elijah Muhammad, once told a story of people who have been chained for so long that when those chains are lose, the person barely moves.

SHAMELESS SPORTS? /// Lebron James Graces Cover of Vogue Magazine with Gise
2008-03-21 18:19:00 (Bossip.com) The cover of Lebron James and Gisele Bundchen on the cover of Vogue has caused quite a stir. Here is a bit from an article from Page2 of ESPN.com:LeBron?s image clearly means a lot to him, maybe even as much as pursuing a championship. And that?s why I can?t understand why he would allow Vogue to feature him with supermodel Gisele Bundchen in such a distasteful manner. LeBron has Gisele in one hand and a basketball in the other. LeBron is dressed in basketball gear, with his muscles flexing, tattoos showing and bared teeth. Gisele, on the other hand, is wearing a gorgeous slim-fitting dress, and smiling. But Vogue?s quest to highlight the differences between superstar athletes and supermodels only successfully reinforces the animalistic stereotypes frequently associated with black athletes.A black athlete being reduced to a savage is, sadly, nothing new. But this cover gave you the double-bonus of having LeBron and Gisele strike poses that others in the blogosphere have...
