Everybody and their baby’s momma, Uncle LeRoy and cousin Man-Man has had something to say about LeBron cheering for his kid LeBron James Jr. better known as Bonny over the weekend. Just in case you’ve been under a rock since like Saturday. LeBron’s son and his teammates won the National Championship at the AAU level in Las Vegas.
Senior was in the lay up line with the team during warm ups and when some of the kids did an acrobatic alley-oop during the game he went nuts. Jumping so far out onto the court and losing his shoe. Now everybody’s got something to say about it. Cats like Jason Whitlock saying that he needs to sit his butt down and that was edited version.
The big homie Kent Sterling, who gave me an opportunity to be a regular guest on his show on CBS Radio for years even had something to say about LeBron. No disrespect to the homie but this is the hating that I’m talking about. Ole boy tweeted out, “I watched Michael Jordan watch his sons play summer basketball. He sat quietly and ate ice cream. Thought he was a really good sports parent.”
Now I know that Kent and I would always debate LeBron vs. Jordan but this isn’t a debate at all. Comparing LeBron to Jordan as sports parents isn’t even in the same stratosphere bruh. First of all, Jordan’s kids were terrible basketball players. I’m quite sure he remembers the Jordan boyz rolling into Indianapolis to play Eric Gordon (Now playing for the Houston Rockets) and North Central some years ago when Michael and Jeffery scored 8 points combined as he watched Eric Gordon drop 43 on them. What is old man Jordan supposed to do playa? Cheer? Talk trash? Stand up and be seen?
There was nothing to cheer about. His sons were getting drug up and down the floor in Indianapolis and that was pretty much it every time they played some real basketball teams.
His oldest was so bad that he had to walk on at the University of Illinois. Now let’s keep this real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! If your daddy is the great Michael Jordan that played for the Chicago Bulls and won 6 championships. As a matter of fact, the only championships the state has ever won and your kid can’t even get a scholarship to the state’s premier university. You can’t play a lick of basketball.
Now the question is, why can’t you play a lick of basketball? Your father is supposedly, in most circles, known as the greatest player of all-time. You’ve got the DNA but where was daddy during the maturation process. Well playas, we didn’t see him running around in the summers with his kids teaching them the game I can tell you that.
LeBron is always visible and hands on. That’s why his kids are balling because there’s really no excuse for your kid not to be one of the best in the world when they’ve got the DNA and access to all of the best training, trainers and facilities. No excuses!
So to try to compare Jordan to LeBron in this category is ridiculous. Stop the hating and move on. Now you can stop me when I start lyin’!
