    Would you feel differently if this was Christian Laettner doing it to a 50-year-old black guy?

    I think the whole King thing has got to his head.

    Anyways I guess next time the janitor comes to take out the trash at my office, I'll be sure to throw my half eaten sub on the ground in front of him cause its his job. :rolleyes: And because he's a lesser being then I am given he's the janitor and all. I could even probably buy his wife.

    Not at all unless of course that black guy was Kevin Willis. I might laugh a little bit then, I'm not going to try and lie. I'm kidding of course. I think anybody who knowingly does what Lebron did is a jerk. BLACK OR WHITE. THIS IS SO FAR FROM A RACE ISSUE. Why does everything have something to do with race? :mad:

    That's there, the other one he didn't know the lady there and with the towel boy its still a negative thing and no one likes it and I don't want to justify it, but in terms of explaining it theres a difference between the heat of a game and you just messed up which something clearly happened right there as your fuming walknig to the bench and quietly walking into the game to check in where you are waiting pretty much.

    Its jnot just that, my citing is from a personal experience on the difference between in front of cameras and not infront of cameras...the way he acts, he is an attention w**** like i have never seen before and it not so much that but his explanations of it is what he thinks all of us are just dumb...he wants to honor the game and mj by retiring his number bc he is a 'student of the history of the game', in this he chooses to switch to number 6, the numbers of dr . j and bill russell who won more champions than anyone? did he forget them or just not think of respecting the history that far back, or is he respecting the history of marketing...
    he is always looking for gimmicks to sell

    kg's powdr toos before the game, lebron took it and started marketing it as his own
    Mj23-lebron's shows, LJ23....
    Mj hitting free throws with his eyes closed is always remembered, now lebron who just hit a free throw with his other hand, apparently bc its number switches hands for his final free throw, but in this uses his other hand as a guide hand fluidly....? he is always looking for something to market and mimmick MJ....and the fact that he comes up with bs reasons(shaking hands last summer, no team usa to film a movie, leaving a championships contending city for more marketing exposure) he is just a different breed of star, makes me appreciate kevin durant that much more really to see how he is coming along

    who do you think MJ is talking about in this article:
    http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3243645

    yea, i mean hes a unique ball player and a hell of a physical specimen, but i just don't like the guy very much

    With the "King's" temper. Imo the kid lost out on a couple million. As soon as James threw down his pants, the kid should of been like " What the hell man!"
    Showing up James, and with his temper, he would of for sure smacked the kid in the face thus making the kid rich.

    He is going to drop the pants in front of him, but he looks down and sees the ball boy and then he throws the pants away from him, then he is entering the game and he is going to throw the other shirt in the direction of the ball boy, but he see the boy again and throws to ther direction. He clearly saw the boy (not once twice). If he has the eyes on the court then its ok, but he is seeing the kid while he does that.

    Exactly! I agree with you. Why you want to make harder the job of others, lets throw the trash all over the office so when the janitor comes, he has to pick up the trash.

    Kobe was grabbing the towel and it happened to be connected with another, which is why when he picked it up, it flew in the lady's face.

    LeBron is an attention w****, no doubt about it.

    Fan of his game, not the person.

    Same goes with Kobe.
