LeWho?
What a whiny bitch
Every interview he should be reminded that he’s no Michael Jordan. Just watch him have a meltdown.
What an insult. He should quit now and teach them a lesson.
Who??? What??? I wasn’t paying attention.
Only complete fools care what that jerk thinks.
NBA officiating taking a page from professional wrestling to get the Lakers another championship.
One of the most unlikable and despicable “stars” in sports.
Also one of the most talented and accomplished in his sport, but so it goes.
St. LeBron, the perpetually offended racist and Jew hater.
Same guy that jumped ship in Cleveland to go to Miami?
Most Virulent Pissant
