stephen A. Smith. "Lebron going through personal issues"

Show some freaking RESPECT for LeBron's privacy! He's under no obligation to disclose his own private personal matters to YOU, so stay out of his business.

Also, show some freaking COMPASSION for LeBron while he is going through these undisclosed personal issues! He should not have to endure all your endless criticism & piling-on while dealing with something like this.

 

If he wants fan to respect his privacy, then he (or his spokesmen in the media) shouldn't use his private matters as an excuse.

2 years in a row? Some people just have a knack for attracting drama.

 

I'm here to say this first, LBJ-Bosh-Wade, one of them will want out, not this year, but before their contracts are up. If LBJ has issues and don't want to be bother, than don't do "The Decision." Want privacy, go learn from Tim Duncan, he bypassed a lot of endorsements, even easy ones like signing sportscards. I already see a little crack in their friendship on the court, unless something amazing happens, LBJ is the current Tiger Woods, who can't finish on the court and on the course.

 

Did Rashard Lewis Sleep With LeBron James’ Girlfriend Savannah Brinson?




First Delonte West was rumored to be sleeping with LeBron James’ mom, which many felt was the reason for the lackluster performance from the former Cavs star during last year’s playoffs. Now, following LeBron’s embarrassing 8 point performance during the Miami Heat’s Game 4 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, former player and current ESPN basketball analyst Steven A. Smith believes that LeBron James is going through more personal off-the-court issues, this time with his girlfriend, Savannah Brinson.

During an appearance on Mike and Mike this morning, Smith said that he has heard rumors regarding problems in James’ personal life through the grapevine. It has since been stated that the rumors may have something to do with Savannah sleeping with fellow NBAer Rashard Lewis while LeBron was visiting South Beach.

From Hello Beautiful, via one of their sources:


I have a very reliable source who clubs and drinks with all of the athletes that come through Orlando. He was all over the Tiger Woods issue and knew what all happened with Tiger prior to it being released publicly. My buddy has a place in Orlando, Lake Nona to be exact, and he lives among some athletes that live there in Orlando. Needless to say he golfs, drinks, and parties with some of the best people in central Florida. So when word got to him while at the bar last night, he called me. Word got out while drinking with friends, that Rashard Lewis slept with Lebrons girl while visiting South Beach.

Whether or not these rumors are in fact true remains to be seen, but with all eyes expected to be on LeBron James during Game 5 of the NBA Finals tonight, perhaps someone should keep a set of eyes on his girlfriend.

Whether or not all this Rashard Lewis thing is true, I don't think that's the reason why Lebron has been looking terrible in this series. But, honestly, his struggles don't look emotional or mental to me. Sure, he is absurdly passive on the biggest stage of his career, and should be taking Kidd/Marion off the dribble every time he touches the ball, but if you look at him when he DOES do that, it simply looks off. He's not limping or holding any body part in pain. It's his coordination... he looks clumsy out there with the ball and without. I mean, it doesn't rule out any serious mental blocks, but the one thing that kept creeping into my head watching him last night was how much it reminded me of Tmac at the start of his decline. Remember when all people talked about what how much personal issues Tmac had to go through? About how many close friends/family of his died during his NBA career? During that stretch, Tmac still put up decent numbers but you knew he was done. This is what Lebron looks like to me right now. I don't expect him to come back big in Game 6, because I don't think he can. I could be wrong though...

 

In all honesty, if Dirk was shrinking in the 4th quarter his people put out the idea that his lady was fooling around on him, this thread would be much longer. Even if it was Kidd or Matrix. It's the NBA finals and that's crazy news, on several fronts.

And don't question that Lebron's agency gave this tidbit about personal issues to Stephen A Smith. It's too consistent with all the other bad PR advice they've given him. I'm truly starting to feel sorry for the guy a bit, just in terms of having a mind almost built perfectly for this stage... but not quite.

 

I love Cheese-Doodles!!!

 

TSLAPP for him. U mad?

(TSLAPP = That sounds like a personal problem)

 

Man stop the stupid excuses. Again Lebron isn't carrying his team when needed. He's the best player in the league when it doesn't count. Wade is atleast showing up and LIKE he said 'no excuses when u are on the court u have to play'.

Like none of the other players have problems. It's part of life (and who you choose/or be dumb enough to date ).

Since his first year in the league i said he isn't part of the exclusive league the one M.Jordan is still above.

 

Tampon, mini or maxi?

 

She'll come out looking like a hoe, Lewis will look like a home-wrecker and some dude you can't trust.

Bron should just brush it off.

 

Mirsad Turckan would never have slept with another man's girlfriend.

Clearly, Rocket's management is vindicated again.

 

What? what's weird about having these built in, feel sorry for me excuses lined up and ready to go for every real challenge that his mental midget ass cant handle?

 

LMAO! Puedlfor sighting and Turckan reference... AND it is Friday. :grin:

 

lebron really needs to fire his publicist. i think he is mostly to blame for all the lebron hate.

 

Agree. That whole firm is turrible. First "The Decision," and then they hire Octavianus. SMH.

 

Your LADOUCHE still has time to mock Dirk for being sick, now that is RESPECT!

 

Yeah and all these poster who made fun of LeBron for this situation and want to criticize him for making fun of Dirk are all HYPOCRITES.
