LeBron loves any excuse he can get for not winning a championship

[Bankaii]

If you actually watch the video dude clearly says he plays for the fans. If there are no fans (in the arena) there’s no point in playing.

The hoops yall jump through to bash lebron is insane, considering how unathletic most of you are.

[fsvr54]

He's not a competitor, MJ or Birs would have played in empty arenas; it's all about winning. Real competitors play to win not for the fans.

Wrong. He plays for a paycheck.

His job is to play. He gets paid to play.


In the real world, this would be considered job abandonement. Do you call off work cause your car pool buddy can't pick you up? Or cause the cute girl in Accounting said she was going on a week's long vacation? No, you don't.

[bigkingsfan]

LOL @ possibility, it will and he will.

[Real Men Wear Green]

If they do this with a playoff game he will still play. If they do this in the regular season he has an excuse to load manage and his fans can pretend that he takes impressive stands on things. Win-win.

Must be weird to have everything you say generate international discussion. If I was him I'd have say anything that wasn't calculated.

[DoctorP]

silly bum.

soft era

All I got from this post is that you’ve never had a job lol.

[bullettooth]

Good. Nobody except a few obsessed retards wanna see him play anyway.

Been working for a lot longer than you've been alive probably. Goddamn young people today and their safe spaces and their time off requests from work cause they have a headache. :lol

His haters are twisting facts.

[Hey Yo]

The MJ who quit on his team and the league 2x?? That's the real competitor you're referring to?

[SouBeachTalents]

Good. Nobody except a few obsessed retards wanna see him play anyway.
Harsh, but at least you have good self awareness

Anyone else get a Frankenstein vibe from this poster?

The same MJ who won an NBA Finals game while playing with the flu.

Of course but if there are no fans present in the court, there will be no one who will shout his MVP chants during the whole game. 😹

[Lebron23]

He is probably a slav or a russian.

[Hey Yo]

Allegedly had the flu.

Lebron plays for my team but let's be honest. He's a bitch. It's stuff like this why he will never be respected like Kobe, Bird or MJ. For every fan in the seats there's a 1000 more waiting to watch him on tv. He signed a contract, so play the f*cking game. All these primary donna athletes acting like they are doing us a favor by playing :facepalm

It's not going to hurt him financially but he shouldn't be paid a dime if he sits out games. There's a damn good reason why there might not be fans in the arena and there will also be MORE fans looking forward to watching him on TV because of people self quarantining. Instead of being a team player and being cognizant of the situation at hand, this f@ggit wants to cry and make it all about himself.

Grow a pair Lebitch. Geez

[90sgoat]

I would actually like to watch a playoff game with no fans and no commentary. Just watch the ball at the highest level. No agendas, no talk, just ball.

[Axe]

He obviously needs the fans to shout the mvp chants loudly for him.

NBA has informed teams that all should have guidelines for coronavirus in place by March 10, such as:
- Arrangement with infectious disease specialist
- Facility that could conduct testing
- Plan to limit team and arena staff

Teams also encouraged to limit traveling party.

Lets see him stick to his word.

What an enormous stretch :lol

[LAmbruh]

Lebron will decide if the games go on or not

[Smoke117]

Only goes to show how ****ing stupid and cringe worthy some sports fans can be. Who the hell would care about what LeBron has to say...oh wait...look where I am. A board full of ****ing losers who endlessly obsess in unhealthy ways over Bran and other men who bounce and shoot an orange leather ball...

[Spurs m8]

The way you blindly suck his d1k is even worse

So sad

Yes, because we should all just blindly hate everyone like you do, right? It's too bad the world didn't do us a favor and have you burn up in those Aussie bush fires.

[Lakers Legend#32]

No fans?
What's the point?

Edge lord

I only hate LeRoid and Harden...mainly due to lack of integrity.

In the scheme of life I dont actually care though, theres so much more to life than basketball...I'm a lover, not a hater

That's surprising. You come across as a 5'3 Aussie bitch. ALWAYS crying. ALWAYS.

And I mean ALWAYS. That's ALL YOU do.

[Tobio-Star]

He is right, there is not point in playing without the fans

[Axe]

He is right, there is not point in playing without the fans
No fans = no mvp chants

[pauk]

Taken a bit out of context perhaps? Just a tad? They are talking about CORONAVIRUS....

Except for the millions of fans watching on television

[Overdrive]

Why would the reason the fans are locked out put it into any context?

[jayfan]

That didn't take long to mammothly backfire.

What an idiot.
