I actually side with Lebron....

I recently came across an article entitled "Hey Lebron, It's Time to Grow Up" by some D-bag named Michael Rosenberg. His picture is located below:

For those of you who don't know, the Cavaliers recently lost the Eastern Conference Finals to the Orlando Magic. Lebron stormed off the court after the loss without talking to the media or saying anything to anyone on the other team. Rosenberg's calls out Lebron on this and tears into him pretty good. Well Rosenberg, you are an asshole. And I will dissect your article and show you why:

Let's start with Rosenberg's sarcastic comment at the beginning:
"It's hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them," he said.

I'm with you on that, LeBron. Absolutely, it is hard. Not as hard as, say, putting in 12-hour days at a manufacturing plant, and certainly not as hard as getting laid off from the aforementioned manufacturing plant, but it's hard.


First, that's a fucking stretch of a comparison. That would be like me saying "Wow work was hard today" and someone replying to that by saying "Not as hard as having AIDS". That's just something to make me feel worse. The two things aren't even comparable.

Second, I think Lebron has earned the right to say something is hard. What was your life like growing up Rosenbitch? Lebron's mom was 16 when she had him, his dad was an ex-con, and his mom's boyfriends were ex-con's. I can't imagine that life was easy by any stretch of the imagination.

Well now that the guilt-tripping part is over, onto Rosenberg's next point:
"It's not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you're not going to congratulate them. That doesn't make sense to me."

Well, it does make sense to me. And you know who agrees with me?

Michael Jordan!
[this was followed by a Michael Jordan quote, if you want to read it go to the original article.]


Oh goodie. A Jordan comparison. Let's put this to rest now. Lebron has done more for the Cavs in 6 starting years than Jordan did. Calm down, let me explain. It all boils down to one simple point: LEBRON HAS NO SUPPORTING CAST. He has single handedly taken an AWFUL franchise, put them on his back, and has brought them to the playoffs year after year. Here are some example comparisons:
Jordan was drafted in '84. From the '84-5 to '86-7 seasons, the Bulls finished under .500, including a DISMAL 30-52 to record in the '85-'86 season (ok, Jordan only played 18 games that year, but fuck you.) It wasn't until Jordan got his supporting cast [Grant and Pippen] in 1987 that the Bulls started going on a tear. Even then the Championships didn't start rolling in until 1991.

Lebron was drafted in '03 to a dreadful Cavs team. By Lebrons second season, the Cavs had actually tied for the 8th spot in the East (Nets owned the tiebreaker so no playoffs for the Cavs). Since 2005 the Cavs have been in the playoffs every year, and Lebron still has absolutely no one to look to if he's having an off night.

He then goes on to blah blah about some stats and kiss Lebrons ass a bit, but then comes this part:
But it was also just plain wrong. The difference between athletes and movie stars is that athletes can't just storm off the set. They are held accountable. When they fail, they're supposed to talk about it.


Really? Talk about it? Do you really think that the dumbass media is going to ask him about the game? The media is so fucking dumb it shocks me sometimes. He probably stormed off because a.) He's back is shot from carrying an entire franchise for 6 years and b.) HE DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH YOU DUMBASSES ASKING THE SAME "ARE YOU STAYING IN CLEVELAND OR NOT BBLAH BLAH LOL BBQ ROFLCOPTER" SHIT OVER AND OVER.
Do you really think that's what he wants to deal with that after he played an INCREDIBLE postseason, only to lose because his team blows donkeys? HE STILL HAS ANOTHER YEAR LEFT ON HIS CONTRACT. He'll make his fucking decision at the end of 2010, when it expires, you morons. The sad thing is, when the media cornered him a day later, the ended up asking him that same question. Like he hasn't answered it 2,095,209 times already. Christ. Reporters are dumb. Journalists are tools.

Also, Michael Rosenberg, consider this: HE'S 24. 24 years old and he's been asked to shoulder the responsibility of carrying an entire shitty team to a championship. What the fuck were you doing at 24? I'm guessing you were a 'budding journalist'. And by that I mean you were rimming your editor so you could get your shitty article about post-it notes moved from page 30 to 28.
It's obvious after he played his heart out with zero support from his team that he didn't want to deal with the media and their inane questions. He wanted to get the hell back to Cleveland and his mind together.

So lay off him just because he stormed off. You gave him the nickname of "King", so if he wants to storm off, the King has the right to do so. Next time be more careful with your annoitings, idiots. 

In conclusion, Michael Rosenberg, you are a shithead. And you look like a pedophile. I'm guessing it's mandated that you have to introduce yourself to new neighbors. Creep.



PS. Sidenote: I'm from New York. I HATE CLEVELAND. Well not entirely, but I do have my grievances with the area. The Browns suck AND I FUCKING HATE THE INDIANS. Only a simpleton would build an open-air baseball field ON A FUCKING LAKE WITHOUT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION ANY OF THE POSSIBLE WILDLIFE EFFECTS. Dumbasses. I would enjoy Lebron coming to New York, although I don't really care about the Knicks. This was written in defense of a great player and to prove that people who look like they touch kids should not post their picture on the internet. Thank you.

PPS. Please do not take this as a "Lebron is better than Jordan" rant. He's not. Not yet at least. Jordan is the best to ever play game. A debate on this is a whole different rant. 

3 comments:

  1. 4 words pretty much sum up my thoughts on your rant: You’re a fucking idiot.

    I love how you posed Lebron as the bastard victim growing up. If you knew anything about him, he was scholarshiped all throughout his recreation and highschool career and was given countless incentives to keep him happy. I mean seriously, Jame’s was given a Hummer in HS. Sounds like a tough life for me… Don’t you dare try and talk about his childhood as if he were a martyr for his time. Dumbass James even has his own company now that is composed of his uneducated Cleveland friends that he grew up with (source: 60 minutes).

    As for your Jordan/James stats – do you not know how to comprehend what you read?? The article is NOT comparing stats, we are comparing sportsmanship and off-the-court presence. If you knew anything about business you’d know Jordan and James’ are brands. Jordan is a successful brand bc he knows how to compose. That game just showed James’ immaturity. Great brands like Jordan, Ripken, and Favre have developed these skills over time with discipline and hardwork. If James’ wants to go and act like a tool that’s his business… it will only hurt him in the longrun. Rosenburg was right to make that comparison. Jordan, and other great brands, would never pull a stunt like Lebron.

    Are you serious with that rant about the press? Part of being in the public eye means answering questions like “where will you play and why didn’t you shake hands” Of course after losing they are going to ask if lebron is going to leave. It’s the perfect time to ask him, since lebron is pissed about ‘his team’ losing him yet another shot at a championship. Your comment proved just how smart the media is – ask lebron a question that may get him to betray his team and make a fortune off the story. This, like everything else, is a business. The reporters want to report controversy and want to be the first to hear when lebron makes up his mind. One of these days lebron is going to leak that he’s leaving Cleveland and it will be one lucky sob reporter that was lucky enough to get that outta him. People don’t hate on you for being a loud mouth douchebag, so you shouldn’t hate on reporters for asking lebron ‘repetitive’ questions when he is in a vulnerable state.

    Ps. I’m also from NY and its people like you that give our state such a bad name. You’re an embarrassment.

  2. Quick Question. Do you just randomly search for blogs to make comments on? Or do I actually know you? This blog is read by about 4 people, if that. Is this what you do at work? Defend your colleagues on random blogs? You picked the wrong one to expend your energy on, sister. You are reaching an audience of less people than are in your cubicle row.

    First Off. It's a game first, media comes second. Just because the world has hyped you up to god-like status doesn't mean you have to bend to their every whim. And before you COMPARE him to Favre, Jordan, and Ripken, take a look at Lebron's age. 24. He's twenty-fucking-four. Are you really expecting him to act like Jordan and Favre? Jordan at least had a supporting cast. I have no idea how old you are, but could you take an entire fucking franchise and carry them around? It was evident his fucking team quit on him in the playoffs, and he was fucking miserable about that. You sound like a nosy-ass reporter. For once, put yourself in Lebron's position. Would you have done anything different?

    Oh, and I will dare talk about anything I please. The reason for bringing up Lebron's past was because Rosenberg was making a sarcastic wild comparison of Lebron's definition of the word hard to working in a factory. And laid off. Really doesn't apply to the article. At all. Oh and also, you know who else gets H2's in High school? Drug dealers. So are you saying people who grew up slinging rocks had an easy life? How many ex-cons are in your family? I have 15.

    The media should learn to show some respect for the players isn't of bombarding them with questions like "OMG ARE YOU LEAVING." Why the FUCK would he want to discuss that he just lost basically made it to game 6 all by himself. One time I made it to game 7. And then I killed myself.

    How do you know no one hates on me for being a loud mouth douchebag? How is this considered loud? I'm typing, smart lady. IF I TYPE LIKE THIS AM I NOW A LOUD MOUTH D-BAG? I actually haven't spoken a single word.

    And Yes. I give New York a very bad name. I also give it herpes and the clap. Please keep searching for random blogs to criticize you psychotic whore.

  3. Oh, and one more thing. The reason for mentioning the stats was to show that Lebron has quite a bit more of a reason to be upset about losing than Jordan ever did. At least when Jordan lost, they lost as a team. As stated, and proven through scientific theory using quarks, Jordan had a solid supporting cast. Lebron wants a championship, but when it's practically 5 on 1, it's tough. Especially when the world thinks of you as a demigod at the age of 24.

    I actually realize now that I wrote that post a tad too strong, especially with the pedophile references. But fuck it, it's a blog, not a fucking encyclopedia. If, Kristin, if that is your REAL name, you are considering me as a debate opponent (since you bothered to write a few paragraphs on this site), you may want to rethink your career as a journalist. Or maybe you just want to start a flame war. I thought that was the point of blogs to begin with. Either way, you wasted a lot of time writing that. Let's make out. I'm Matt Damon.
