Look it just wasnt right.If it was a white player of any sport ESPN would jump all over this!!There would be a apology asked for by the naacp. jesse jackson,al sharpton etc... does anyone agree??

psh, i agree wholeheartedly, it's so obvious that there is a double standard that it's disgusting, it really makes you consider stopping watching espn and all this garbage.

It's not like he was making a generalization of ALL white people as you assert. He was speaking of an individual, no different than if he said an unathletic Asian, Black etc. Are there in fact no non athletic people of any race? It also sounds like he was being tongue in cheek about the whole thing.

Let's not get all politically incorrect around here.

Let me guess, you stopped learning about history after they told you about George Washington and the cherry tree in 1st grade.

I'm not really sure I get what LeBron said was so bad? He was making fun of Mike Miller.

really, you guys need to stop hyperventilating. James seems to be talking about Miller.

what would be the 'black' analogy/comment to that? then i guess we could see if people feel the statement was racist or not.


to me, sounds like lebron was clowing his friend w no ill feelings or racist thoughts in mind.

I agree. I'm "white" and I would not take offense. The guy laughing the most is probably Miller, who was the butt of the joke. You also know that James had a little smile on his face when he made the comment because he knows how Miller will take it when he hears it.

No big thing, IMO.

THANK YOU!!! He wasn't making a distinct generalization, but was directing his comment to someone in particular. Tho it could apply to any other non athletic guy as well, but not all White people as seems to be the argument by some looking for something to be angry about.
