Must be a slow sports news day...

Lebron must think the world really cares about what he has to say regarding his employment and conditions placed upon him by the League.

If you and I were to mouth off to our superiors in this fashion, it would be our last day at work.  Ahhh....collective bargaining.  

Clearly he needs to revisit the Golden Rule...He who has the gold...

But as gyso learned this morning, if it has ANYTHING to do with LAL, front-page print it, true or not.

I agree with Lebron about the all-star game/weekend.
The league has had problems getting games played, so why have an all-star weekend in a month from now?
Let players rest or catch up on missed games.
Yes, Lebron does have a lot of power in the league. More than any other player.
That was evident by Patrick Beverly's comment this past summer about re-starting the league.

Patrick Beverley: ‘If [LeBron James] said he hooping. We all hooping.’

LOL..everyone hates Lebron.....until he's on their team.

get over it guys and just enjoy greatness, while you are still able to see it.

BTW, he's correct that the NBA should not be playing an all star weekend this year.

Maybe they can have one AFTER the season is over instead.

Well, then the bet becomes after Lebron has said what he said, will there be an All Star Weekend? Taking bets now....

Hate to say it but I agree with SOME of what he had to say from a pandemic standpoint. However, all that stuff about “my teammates” and the rest of ”the guys in the league” is a bunch of bull. Also, tuff doo doo King Jim about not getting the long break you were hoping for. I’m sure you’ll find some load management time to rest your weary lil bones between now and the time you’re knocked out of the playoffs this summer.

ktron,

I'll take the league cancels the ASG, especially with Giannis, Harden and Kawhi chiming in. You in?

Let's see just how much power these guys have or think they have!!

The games are coming at a much faster pace this year all due to pandemic and a lot of guys barely had an off season, I agree with him. The all star game has devolved into a meaningless game with no defense. It’s good for the players to make that plateau, but the game to purists like me is barely watchable now....

I haven’t watched an NBA Allstar game in decades. The only thing I usually like and watch during that weekend is the 3 point contest but the rest is shenanigans to me. I hope they cancel it but it doesn’t look like they will. I also don’t want Lebron to have his way so I guess I’m being an A hole too. LOL
