LeBron decides not to run for Players Union president

[aj1987]

Why the hell can he not keep his mouth shut? Dude seriously needs to keep his mouth shut.

After talking with advisors and fellow players, LeBron James has decided not to run for president of the National Basketball Players' Association, sources told ESPN.com.

James told ESPN last week he was considering running for the position, which came open this summer when Derek Fisher's term expired. According to a source, James may instead support the possible candidacy of Miami Heat teammate James Jones, who is currently the treasurer of the union.

USA Today first reported James would not seek the position.

The union, which is holding its summer meeting in Las Vegas next week, is currently in flux with no executive director and no president. Fisher and former head Billy Hunter are involved in a legal battle over Hunter's firing for misuse of union money.

"I just the think the union is going backwards and it's not in a good place right now," James said last week. "I think my voice could be huge in that situation. But I'm not sure I have the time to do it but it's something I'm going to think about with my team and go from there. But I think we all can agree there's been a lot of transition in our union in the last couple of years. If it's not me in that seat then I hope it's someone who is comfortable with it and can do the job."

Jerry Stackhouse, an executive member of the players' union, disagreed with James' assessment on Monday.

"He's the best player in the game right now and we want the entire league to be involved," Stackhouse said in a report by CBSSports.com. "But he needs to be informed in speaking on our union business."

James has gotten more involved in union business over the last two years. He attended some bargaining sessions during the 2011 lockout and then spoke up at a meeting over All-Star Weekend last season when Hunter's fate was decided.

"I don't think he's had any dialogue with anybody since the All-Star break, but it is what it is," Stackhouse told CBSSports. "To make that statement about where we are as a union right now, he was misinformed."

A Heat fan telling it like it is.

He's a bitch, from day one. Always will be.

"I just the think the union is going backwards and it's not in a good place right now," James said last week. "I think my voice could be huge in that situation. But I'm not sure I have the time to do it but it's something I'm going to think about with my team and go from there. But I think we all can agree there's been a lot of transition in our union in the last couple of years. If it's not me in that seat then I hope it's someone who is comfortable with it and can do the job."

In all seriousness, Lebron doesn't seem like he has the business savvy necessary for that side of the business. It all seems like a front to me. He seems to be publically overcompensating for his lack of much of a formal education imo. :confusedshrug: Don't think he ever truly wanted the position.

Dude, when it comes to on court play, Lebron is one of the greatest EVER. He's top 10-12 GOAT right now and he still has a good 3-6 years left.

Off court, though, dude's a dumbass. Or at least he has a dumbass agent/PR guy. Should shut his mouth, if he's not going to do it.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Told OP this, and he got heated and wanted to argue otherwise just the other day. And now he's in full agreement.

[aj1987]

I don't understand how anything he said in that article makes him a bitch.

I'm so confused.
The point is, he wanted to run for NBAPA president, 'cause according to him, it's run like crap. Now though, he's backing out. That's what makes him a bitch.

[TMT]

Wow. I forgot how ISH Lebron stans really truly believe he is God with absolutely zero faults...

:confusedshrug:

he stated he doesn't have the time for it.

I say I want to go to Vegas every year with my friends to get HPV but we never go because we don't have time for it, does that make me a bitch too?

[aj1987]

:confusedshrug:

he stated he doesn't have the time for it.
Then he should have kept his mouth shut in the first place?

[KyleKong]

Then he should have kept his mouth shut in the first place?

That's reaching pretty far if people hate on LeBron because he says he wants to do something and decides not to do it later.

And LeBron said he was "THINKING" about running for the President of the NBPA, minor detail I know.

[SamuraiSWISH]

On court is different from off court. Read post #36.
I'm talking about his character dip shit, his makeup beyond the physical. Mentally, emotionally ... he's a coward, juvenile, un-likable, ghetto punk. No where was I talking about his abilities on the court. Whether it's on the court, or off the court, his character or lack there of comes through. In his decisions, interactions, etc.

That description matches Rose more closely to be honest.

In what world is Rose un-likeable, or ghetto? He's not childish, he isn't two faced, he's not a punk. And he certainly isn't a coward. He's shy, reserved, and naturally competitive. Guy didn't even want to recruit Wade, James, or Bosh in 2010. He wanted the team for himself. LeBron runs to help. Get off LeBron's dick. No one is debating his skills, and abilities. Merely pointing out the obvious character flaws.

He's so competitive he missed a whole season when he was cleared to play for the last part and the playoffs? And D-fRose texted Lebron that he wanted to play with him.

Ironic coming from the guy who got offended when someone said Pippen had a bigger dick than Jordan.

There are picture of Rose throwing up gang signs. And he cheated on his SAT. You may have different standards but that's cowardly to me.

How does that make him unlikable?

You're a ****ing LeBron fan...doesn't he make you pull your hair out if that was the case?

[SamuraiSWISH]

A pic of dude throwing up a sign doesn't mean he acts like a ghetto child. Dancing on the sideline and looking like an utter fool. Don't confuse gangster with ghetto. Plus he was probably doing that at a party in his neighborhood, which is entirely run and protected by south side Chicago gangs.

Cleared by TEAM doctor, with Chicago Bulls agenda. He was taking care of his body. There is nothing wrong with that at all.


And D-fRose texted Lebron that he wanted to play with him.
Begrudgingly forced by management who was pressuring Rose to recruit. It was talked about many times here in Chicago that Rose was reluctant to do it, because he felt he was improving and wanted the team to himself. It was leaked by his camp. THAT'S a competitor who wants to prove something. He wanted to beat the Wade and LeBron's of the NBA.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

How does that make him unlikeable?

You're a ****ing LeBron fan...doesn't he make you pull your hair out if that was the case?

I root for everyone to do well on the Heat. You'll never see me putting down another player on the team just to prop up another one.

Lebron said nothing wrong, and who cares what Stackhouse says?

These are the same dumb asses that said Lebron would never win a title, couldn't make big shots and would be deemed a failure.

Pathetic excuse. He was cleared and sat out willingly even though he didn't have any addition risk of injury compared to his normal state. Rose is the kind of guy who'd be happy collecting welfare money if he didn't have basketball talent.

In summary:

1. Leagues best player says he would be a good president (was probably prompted for answer), says he is weighing up running, says union isn't going well.
2. Decides not to run.
3. Union Executive says Union is going fine (surprise surprise).

DERP.

Because Stack is an actual member of the union? He knows more about the background and status of the union than LeBron will ever know. He basically just made false claims saying it wash't going in the right direction and implying that he'd be great suitor for the head job or somebody else as "knowledgable" as him. He speaks without thinking, says he'll do this or think about doing that, but never does.

Exactly! Going backwards is now flawed? Read up bro. I'm not even trying to be insulting. It's just that Lebron isn't the GOAT at everything.
Once again, Lebron, according to me, is a complete beast, on the court. One of the greatest ever. Off the court, he needs a better guy.

niguh I was trying help your ass niguh thats why we lead 3-2 in playoff matchup bitch ass heat fan:lol
Please don't! I don't need your help to know than Lebron is better than your entire franchise.

BTW, Knicks have been around since ~1974. Miami, 2 rings (est.1988) and Knicks, 2 rings.

[Fresh Kid]

Idiot, if Lebron was truly a coward, he would have fewer titles than the Knicks franchise. Oh wait...
and by tha way if Lebron wasnt a coward then why that bitch ass quit on cleveland to joined two other superstars aka two other eastern starters just to win rings even tho he choked his first year in miami?:coleman:

[PickernRoller]

Lebron stans on damange control. Trolling to disuade....

They would take Lebron's d1ck as dessert if they have to.....

[LongLiveTheKing]

Exactly! Going backwards is now flawed? Read up bro. I'm not even trying to be insulting. It's just that Lebron isn't the GOAT at everything.

You're making it seem like Lebron offended the America but really just made a comment about the union that Jerry Stackhouse disagreed with. Lebron has said stupider things than this. This isn't even a big deal. But he's a bitch because he talked about the union that doesn't have a president.

Yea even tha person who made this thread iz on damage control defending that coward:lol

Yep.
Lebron = 2 Rings in 10 years.
Knicks Franchise = 2 Rings in over 50 years.

And this is exactly why the world hates the Knicks.

[sportjames23]

I don't see what he said that was wrong :confusedshrug:


Because Lebron always teases. It's like with the Slam Dunk Competition. He keeps floating that shit every year, then decides not to compete at the last minute.

[nathanjizzle]

No, if you recall Lebron hit rock bottom a short two years ago.

more like 2 months ago.

[Frozen1]

Well, if you think a 18 year old player would enter the like calling himself "king james", you would think he is a bitch, egocentric attention whore.

[insidehoops]

Sorry but I have no idea what some of you are criticizing him for. Because he spoke? He correctly pointed out that the union has issues, but that he isn't going to run for union president?

OK....?

[Nash]

What the hell is this, the hate is unbelievable. And people say Lebron fans are worse?

Man says he's thinking about running for president, will take advice from people around him.

Man decides not to run.

Man is a.......bitch?

[DJ Leon Smith]

Because he spoke up and seemingly showed an interest in running for union prez, then backed out while making very uninformed comments, showing that he had no real intent to involve himself with the union but just wanted to inject his name into the narrative somehow.

He showed interest, but also clearly said that he's thinking about it and that he was going to talk to people about it before deciding anything. That's a major detail people seem to forget.

Reporters asked him about it. He answered the reporters' questions.

He thought maybe he'd want to do it. But then thought about it more and apparently doesn't want to. Alrighty then

The comments he made when he said he didn't want to any more were worse than him saying he had interest. It went past the point of a reporter simply asking him a question and him answering it.

This. Keep crying haters. It won't stop LeBron from winning titles :oldlol:

[L8kersfan222]

Jeff the Heat fan, too obvious.

3 rings... Get your shit together:facepalm

This clown needs to get his act together. Says Miami got 2 rings :facepalm

[insidehoops]

Dumb comment

[thabisyo]

Dumb comment

I am not sure if an administrator is suppose to say stuff like that. Suppose to be neutral but it is a dumb comment :lol

[unknowns8]

I see it as a toe in the water kinda moment ... he thought about it, fielded some opinions from peers and friends alike, decided not to go for it

buuuut

if he had gone for it ... and got it, does anyone else feel the players union woulda got a fvckload more professional under his presidency considering how much exposure LJ has at the international sports business level thanks to investments in Liverpool Football Club and other major sporting brands??

LJ is a part owner of Liverpool football Club in the English Premier League - the EPL player union is world class/second to none ... can't help but think LJ would be tapping them up for info, guidance, advice and some inside knowledge on how to run shit propa

coulda been good but like LJ said ... "ain't nobody got time for dat!" :oldlol:

what was the "uninformed comment" he made? that the union has issues, isn't this true? just because Stack came out and said that Lebron was misinformed, basically implying the union has no issues :rolleyes:, we're supposed to go with Stack's analysis. :facepalm

as far as "inject his name into narrative somehow," mindless comment tbh. he's one of the most recognized sports figures on the planet, doubt he needs the union president position to keep him relative right now

[Trollsmasher]

I'm talking about his character dip shit, his makeup beyond the physical. Mentally, emotionally ... he's a coward, juvenile, un-likable, ghetto punk. No where was I talking about his abilities on the court. Whether it's on the court, or off the court, his character or lack there of comes through. In his decisions, interactions, etc.
And you are butthurt ******* pretending to understand basketball and be objective on an internet board:confusedshrug:

gtfo

[russwest0]

LeBron is quite easily the biggest attention whore we've ever seen from a star player.

Who could forget his hour long "decision" to announce that he was gonna play basketball?

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Dude is a fking clown and part of the problem is that ESPN thoroughly enjoys suxing his cox. Like literally they have a quota where they have to talk about him at least 3-4 times a day even with times right now where no basketball is going on.

what's funny is that if his decisions and sense of character is so wrong, he'd be at the bottom looking up right now with his "wayward" choices (as many prefusely claim here)...however, seems he's made the correct choices majority of the way thus far

NBA or college
Adidas or Nike
Cleveland, NY, Chi or Miami
Pres or just play ball

to this day, only thing he can be faulted for is the way he announced his decision to play for Miami...and you can thank ESPN for that as they pitched the 1-hour special to Lebron and his team.

The uniformed comment - "I just the think the union is going backwards and it's not in a good place right now." The best way for a union to be broken is when members make statements like this and it's why the players ALWAYS get taken to school by the owners whenever they negotiate. (FUN FACT: As the best player in the league, LeBron would benefit if there was no union. Unions work best for the players on lower salaries.)

And he did inject his name into the narrative! When he was asked the question about the union he could have said straight away that he had no interest. Instead he shone a spotlight onto the union and himself, then said the union isn't in a great spot and walked away. Which was EASILY the worst case scenario in this situation.

You're exactly right though, he doesn't need the union president position to be relevant. Which is why him even humoring the thought of taking on the role beyond ridiculous, when he obviously wasn't serious about seeing it through.

whether he makes the statement or not, the union is broken...let's not forget that underlying fact here. there are many issues within it and Lebron's comment doesn't change the reality that it is broken. Stack can say he's "misinformed" but again the reality is, he's not and the uniion has its fair share of issues to handle.

why would he say he had no interest when he said he was interested in the spot since Fisher left. what he did say, and that many of you fail to acknowledge is that he would discuss with his team before he made any decision to actually run for the position? nothing wrong there...we see candidates do this over n over during elections in our gov't...what exactly is different here? :confusedshrug:

as far as him being serious about it...neither you or I know if he was or wasn't, it's only assumption really. but for him to discuss with his team prior to making any inapt choice to run for the spot indicates that took the consideration of the idea seriously, doesnt it?

at what length does nitpicking and complaining start to become a disease for some of the posters here? :facepalm

[red1]

Samurai Swoosh, Red1 and Fudge are 3 of stupidest posters getting around.
Not really. Lebron really is a bitch.

Can you tell me with a straight face that he doesnt act like an attention-seeking woman?

[Sarcastic]

He's correct. The Union did go backwards. In the last CBA they conceded $1 billion to the owners. He just probably shouldn't have said it the way he did.


It should been more along the lines of: "I think as President, I would have a positive impact of the issues that are most relevant for the players in our Union." Then shut up.

[Bandito]

Hahaha! Learn English. I still consider him to be a top 10-12 GOAT. ON COURT IS DIFFERENT FROM OFF COURT.
Know the difference, bitch! BTW, if LBJ hadn't choked in 2011, Wade would've been a 4 x champion and a 2 x FMVP.

This. Even if the union is going backwards you don't say it. Even if he did thousands of hours of due diligence and saw he couldn't help you don't allude to weakness. When he nixed the idea of becoming union prez all he had to say was some PC BS like "after careful consideration, while I'm trying to win more championships for the Heat and their fans I won't be able to commit my time as President of the NBPA, but whoever is selected as President will have my full support."

Or he could just not say things that he's going to contradict later. Both are very simple options yet seemingly evades LeBron's comprehension.
