Queen James

NB here and boy do I have some venting to do today. First off, let me state my opinion; Kobe Bryant is the best player in the NBA hands down. There is no one better. Queen James is a great player but not the best. He does carry the Cleveland Lebrons and when he is not in they are not good. I dont know if this will happen but I would not be surprised if the Queen never wins an NBA championship because of the way he acts. The god of basketball does not take kindly to guys who show up their teammates and if the ball doesn't go in has to whine and say he got fouled. Newflash Queen sometimes you miss and its not because you were fouled. Let me take you back to Conseco fieldhouse Feb of last year Joey Crawford makes the best call of his career the Pacers hit 2 free throws to go up 2 pts on the Cavs with .04 on the clock. (which .04 is enough time for a catch and shoot) The ball is inbounded and where is Lebron? Already off the floor in the lockerroom. At that moment I knew Lebron was a punk. Would Jordan do that? No! He would have played better defense to not let it happen. Back to now last Friday the Lebrons played the Pacers and the Queen was back yelling at officials and cursing the fans. Yes the fans got in the Queens head. Queen James had 2 separate altercations with the fans the first one resulting in his buddy who sits on the bench to tell the Queen nice job, getting a security guard because Bron Brons fellings got hurt because someone said Kobe's better. Below is my letter to the NBA league office about the Queens night. I will never respect the Queen and from here on out to me he will be known as Queen James the Punk.


To whom it may concern,

I attended the Pacers Cavs game on Friday January 20th and as I left the game I was disgusted with the acts of Lebron James. I am a Pacers season ticket holder and have been going to games my whole life and I don't think I could have lost more respect for one NBA player, than I did that night. Lebron is a great player, and like in every league, people are going to yell things and when that happened Friday night his behavior was totally unacceptable for any grownup or professional athlete. Quite frankly, it had me questioning why I would support a league that would let its star player act like that. Both of the incidents happened in the 2nd half. First a group of fans were yelling things toward the Cavs bench such as "we want Kobe", "Kobe is better" things of that nature. Not one time did a fan curse or say anything inappropriate. Lebron had a friend who was sitting behind the bench get a police officer to go ask them to be quiet. The police officer was sitting behind the bench all night and didn't say anything but Lebron was suddenly offended so the Police officer makes them stop? What did he miss that Lebron suddenly heard? Also, during that time Lebron was mouthing things to the fans that to me looked to be vulgar. That incident was far less bothersome than the 2nd incident. In the wake of Lebron's comments about the NFL; a group of fans had printed signs that read "Lebron vs. Peyton". The fans behind the bench were asking Lebron about going to the NFL and were yelling at him about the NFL as the Pacers played better- again no curse words were yelled. At the next timeout Lebron proceeded to walk towards the fans in the front row behind the bench and yell obscenities at them. He called them multiple curse words while standing with one leg on the bench as security intervened. Then, after the time out when the situation had calmed down, he yelled more things at the fans. In the state of the NBA economy, how can Lebron do that? The NBA has to do it better than any other league. Does the NBA really want its marqee player cursing and yelling at fans while there are children right in front of him? What kind of message is he sending to those kids? I am embarrassed to be an NBA fan and have no idea how I can ever support a player like Lebron after Friday night. The NBA has to protect the fans as much as the players, but in this case Lebron should not be protected. He instigated the whole matter when he aggressively approached the fans and yet the fans were the ones surrounded by the Police. Lebron should be shaking hands and telling people thank you for supporting his league. I grew up around professional baseball and played college football I know fans can bother players but there is no excuse for what Lebron did that night. The word that keeps coming to mind is disgusted. I couldn’t imagine what kind of things would happen to me with my business if I treated my customers like that? The reality is the NBA fan and NBA player will become more detached if this continues to happen. I appreciate you reading this and hope someone will contact me about this matter.
