I don’t know about you, but between this year’s playoffs and his cameo in this story, Big Baby is skyrocketing up my personal favorite player power rankings.

“The story should have never been published. The draft was inadvertently put on the server before going through the usual editorial process. We are in the midst of looking into the matter.”
As someone else who has knowledge of the online editing/writing business, I can tell you that’s impossible. Especially for a site like ESPN.

Umm, what’s wrong with this is, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anyone in Vegas pantomiming playing basketball while walking through a club or casino. That’s because I don’t pay any attention to children in Vegas. The author is right – he is a child trapped in an adult’s body. I’ve seen a lot of stuff in my time there, but never something as lame as this. Juking out signs? Hilarious. So lame. The ego kills me because there is no reason for it. YEAH, Imma pour out 1/4 bottle of this $400 bottle (at a club while doing bottle service) to show everyone I’m the MAN! See cuz, I ain’t even care ’bout dis.

Another example of “King James” overly sensitive reaction to everything. No doubt Carter called ESPN and had them pull an article, that really wasn’t that bad. Just like the whole Jordan Crawford dunk incident last year, Lebron’s camp is going so far out of the way to “protect” Lebron that he is starting to really alienate himself from fans.

All NBA players are excessive and have a huge ego. That in itself is not a story. But the way Lebron seems to run around pretending like he’s won something will no doubt rub a lot of people the wrong way. Lebron has really turned himself into an unlikeable figure.

“I have somehow found myself at this exclusive table”

I love this line, like its been this guy’s lifelong dream to chill with Lebron at a Vegas party. Thank you ESPN for sending this hack to write a love letter to your boy, that he promptly pissed on. The only thing ESPN is more in love with than Lebron is themselves.

it wasn’t as bad as a scrub dunking on him…oh yeah, he stopped that from airing too. it’s scary when you work so hard to portray an image that you end up delusional and believing it

i’m pretty sure they retracted it because its mostly journalistic BS. Lebron is having a party in Vegas to celebrate. Like, if this dude is supposedly chilling with Lebron all night, how does he know that Davis is walking by and shaking his head and all that? This has nothing to do with ESPN being “in bed” with Lebron, this is just some no-name journalist trying to make a story bigger than it is.

Of course they deleted it… this is a TMZ style article, totally lacking substance and only intended as character assassination. Garbage media.

What’s wild or “not in a favorable light” about that? That’s basically… a night in Vegas for anyone, even if you’re not a basketball player.
