LeBron Keeping Tab on Haters
Ever since LeBron announced that he “was taking his talents down south”, he has been under a lot of fire, literally and figuratively speaking. Minutes after “The Decision” you could see former Cleveland Cavaliers fans burn his jerseys to the ground, and not even two days later, Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson added even more fuel.
But, all hope is not lost. LeBron let the world know that he is listening and keeping tabs on these guys. “Don’t think for one min that I haven’t been taking mental notes of everyone taking shots at me this summer. And I mean everyone!” he said in his Twitter account (@kingjames).
One of the most active talkers in the whole LeBron ordeal is none other than Charles Barkley. Barkley already has a bad reputation with Miami Heat fans as he called out the HEAT last season by saying that Dwyane Wade was Michael Jackson and was playing with a bunch of Tito Jacksons.
Barkley was no doubt right about this but there really isn’t a reason for him to call out a team like that on national television. Understandable he took a stab basically at former number 2 pick Michael Beasley. Barkley was a bully. But now he’s trying to bully LeBron and to me at least, that will be a fail waiting to happen.
The TNT Analyst said in an interview on a radio show with 103.3 FM in Dallas “I want him to make sure that he puts my name on that list, I thought that his little one-hour special was a punk move”
Barley also said that the Summer 2010 Welcome Party for the Three Kings was “a punk move” and he is not one bit worried about saying all this to their faces. “He [LeBron] knows where I’ll be, I don’t run. I’m on TV every week, I’m easy to find”
LeBron has still been under a lot of fire in Ohio. While he was shooting hoops at an amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, onlookers were yelling, “I bet you miss!” and “Just like Game 5,” in reference to the playoff game against the Celtics where he was accused of quitting on his teammates.
Listen, this is for all the haters, the doubters, the nay-sayers get ready for one of the most amazing seasons of Miami HEAT basketball ever. Not only for the fact that we have three of the top five best players in the game right now, but because everyone is fueling their fire.
If having the big three is not enough to win a championship, all these talks about them sure will. LeBron said he would put some things in the locker room this season in order to get pumped up. Personally, I would love to see them write down all the quotes of people hating on them and just posting them all over the locker room. But that’s just me.
