Lebron continues his campaign to hijack and monopolize media coverage

Brandon King

The Denver Nuggets are in their first NBA Finals, where they will face the Miami Heat, after sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. However that achievement has been an afterthought, as the mainstream sports media has been full steam ahead with force-feeding Lakers coverage. They have spent more time speculating on what moves this team that failed to make the Finals will make in a season that has yet to take place, than the team that made the Finals in the season that is currently happened.…

The LeMedia is setting the excuse table

Brandon King

As great as LeBron James is, whenever his teams come up short it seems there is always an extenuating circumstances that were the cause of their defeat. The excuses, as varied and impuissant as they often are, rarely are attributed to the opponent simply being better. Cavalierly chucking teammates under the bust to cosplaying are previous and favorite tactics employed by James and his media retinue. Down 3-0 in the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers are likely on the path to postseason slaughter courtesy of the Denver Nuggets. As such,…

Does LeBron really make his teammates better?

Brandon King

One of the incessant narratives that we have been sold when it comes to NBA great LeBron James is how he makes his teammates better. This is widely accepted as fact but I have started to question that over the past several years. The good brother 2RAW4SPORTS on YouTube explained this concisely in this video: Although they were part of championship teams with Lebron James, did playing with him make guys such as Kevin Love and Chris Bosh better basketball players? I submit to the opposite was the case because…

Shannon jokes about pouring honey on LeBron James?!?

Brandon King

I have said it on numerous occasions that there are a great many things on which I vehemently disagree with Shannon Sharpe, however it cannot be denied that the brother is all-time great football player and when it comes to talking the game he played he can provide, insightful and in-depth takes that the layman can understand. However when it comes to LeBron James, the modicum of objectivity he possesses flies right out the window. I used to think he didn’t truly believe the outlandish things he said and did…

That time Paul George thought he was going to play with LeBron

Brandon King

Back in 2017, the relationship between Paul George and the Indiana Pacers was in its death throes and the only way to put it out of its misery would be to find the All-Star forward a new home. Many teams were suitors for George’s services, but to the surprise of many, including George himself, PG would end up going to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for guard Victor Oladipo and forward Domantas Sabonis. What will come as a surprise to many is that PG nearly ended up in Cleveland…

Lebron to play, but not start against Bulls

Brandon King

It was reported by Chris Haynes and others Thursday that Lebron James would possibly return to action for the Lakers final few games of the regular season. However the Lakers superstar was quick to refute those reports calling into question the legitimacy of those alleged “sources”. New reporting from The Atheltic and Stadium’s Shams Charania indicates that Lebron will play Sunday versus the Chicago Bulls but will come off the bench- something that hasn’t occurred since December 11, 2007 against the Indiana Pacerw in James’ first run with the Cavaliers.
