The Sad Summer of LeBron

What is LeBron James thinking?? I don't have to remind you of this summer's events such as the hour-long, egocentric, narcissistic interview with Jim Gray dubbed "The Decision" or the jersey-popping hype show that took place in Miami just days later. No, I don't have to remind you of that because we all saw it, we all "witnessed" it. Recently, in his latest blunder, LeBron told the media that all the hate that has been thrown at him since he left Cleveland is a racist thing. Yeah, you're right LeBron. It's because you're black.
When Charles Barkley heard of this he said, "It's like watching a movie. Just when you think it couldn't get any stupider, it gets more stupid." Amen Chuck.

Whoever advises LeBron isn't giving him very good advice. He said last week that if he had to do it all over again he would do the hour show to announce his decision and give the money to kids. For some reason it doesn't seem like he did that for the kids. Now LeBron comes out and brings up the race issue which is possibly the worst thing he could have done. The media has dissected this Heat team from every angle and they are always hunting for stories. They are already under a microscope and what LeBron did by saying it's a race issue is equivalent to throwing meat to a pack of hungry dogs.

It's sad to watch this iconic man make mistake after mistake. LeBron has lost fans, credibility and respect because of the way he has gone about things. The only thing that can save him now is a good season on the court.
