Totally understand the Lebron jokes. A guy that has "Chosen 1" tattooed on his back like he's some kind of chosen NBA savior, kinda arrogant. Especially the fact this 'savior' expected to win an NBA Final Game on just 11 shots.
So when Lebron failed to answer the call to raise his level, I fully expected America pour its hate out.
From his former boss: "Congrats to Mark C.& entire Mavs org.," Gilbert wrote. "Mavs NEVER stopped & now entire franchise gets rings. Old Lesson for all: There are NO SHORTCUTS. NONE."
To random internet jokes: "I gave Lebron a dollar and only got back three quarters." AND "Lebron James Day, everybody gets to leave work 12 minutes early."
Ok, Ok. I get it. You have to have tough skin when going after the holy grail. But the next two moves mocking Lebron James comes to you from the "Get a Life" department.
For starters, the Ohio Governor made the Dallas Mavericks honorary citizens. Clearly overlooking the millions of Americans who's hard work goes unnoticed to commemorate a basketball team from Texas as if they accomplished something for Ohio. Ok, a joke, but do Governors have time to discuss matters unrelated to their agenda? Or just a pathetic attempt for more votes. Assclown.
A Chicago Cubs affiliate held a promotion last night poking fun at Lebron James. It was "Lebron James Invisible NBA Championship Replica Ring" night. Two things are all I need to say about this weak attempt to get involved with a national topic. One: Lebron crushed the Bulls the series before. ANY talks of mocking his ability to close coming from Bulls fans baffle me. (See Game 5 Eastern Conference Finals). Two: THEY'RE THE CUBS AFFILIATE. THE CUBS. What do they know about championship rings??
The worst part about trying to win the Holy Grail, is getting mocked by lesser critics. Lebron will be back on the main stage, the Ohio Governor, might not be. But at least show some human decency for a guy marred with sweat, tears, and blood that clearly erred on the big stage.
