Why Does Lebron Always Talk About Being The Father Of 3 Children When Someone Says Something Mean To Him?

Over the weekend

Last year

When I saw the Draymond Green/Lebron thing over the weekend I thought nothing of it, just guys jawing at each other on the basketball court, something we’ve seen about a billion times. Then Lebron did his press conference yesterday and some more nuggets came out and they looked really familiar and it dawned on me, this isn’t the first time this has happened. Last year Joakim went after Lebron and Bron Bron used the “father of three” excuse. So what the fuck is going on here? Does Lebron think that because he has 3 children, because he proved he has had sex at least 3 times in his life, he is immune from trash talk? I’ve never seen someone take fatherhood this seriously. And by all accounts Lebron is a great dad, that’s not what this blog is about. It’s just really fucking weird that every time someone talks shit Lebron takes offense specifically because he’s the father of three children. Like if Lebron was single and childless could we all call him a bitch to his face? It feels like that’s what he’s saying. Does Lebron realize that it’s trash talk on a basketball court? It’s not like Draymond is actually saying Lebron can’t take care of his children and isn’t a man, he’s just talking shit, he’s calling him a bitch for flopping and crying. He’s trying to get under his skin. So weird that Lebron takes it this literal every time.

“You’re a bitch”

“Well actually I am a home owner, have 3 children, and pay my taxes on time. I’ve also set up a 401k and a savings account for my kid’s college education”

“huh?”
