I Actually Respect LeBron For Going At This Heckler And Calling Him A Bum

I admit I’m not the biggest LeBron fan in the world. Ever since he ripped out Cavs fans hearts on national TV and signed with my least favorite franchise on the planet, I’ve had a grudge against him. Not a full blown hissy fit grudge like Hubbs had when Shohei Ohtani said No Thank You to the Yankees. But still a grudge. And once LeBron started taking shots (regardless of whether he thinks those shots were direct or indirect) at Frank Ntilikina and Madison Square Garden in addition to that water bottle bullshit last year, he became Public Enemy Number 1 for Knicks fans.

But I’m also not the biggest LeBron hater in the world. Shit, I’m not even close to the biggest LeBron hater at Barstool. Pres has a blood feud against the guy and Big Cat has never cared for him either. However I have to tip my cap to LeBron for this video. I can’t even begin to fathom what kind of shit LeBron hears daily. On the court, in the crowd, and on social media (except during Zero Dark Thirty-23, when he’s definitely not checking his mentions every minute). It must be an orgy of misery and anger at all times. Granted that’s all of social media, but it is likely especially the case when you are the most famous basketball player on the planet.

Which is why this rebuttal was so great. Simple and to the point. Calling out your girl for filming him is straight out of the Ric Flair book of zings. Bron was stylin’ and profilin’ all over this dude with that line. And then dropping the B word on this guy was the perfect insult. I’m on the record that calling someone a Bum is as disrespectful as it gets.

Even calling a homeless person a bum feels fucked up even though they are literally the definition of the word. I hate to admit it, but LeBron garnered some respect from me for going straight for this dude’s neck (Unless that guy is a dad. You should NEVER disresepct a father like that). LeBron going full heel at the end of his career like Kobe did and like A-Rod should have would be incredible to see. Especially since LeBron has more juice left than both of those guys did. But I bet even full blown villain LeBron would NEVER pick a fight with Mr. Can You Not. Mr. CYN is Bron’s kryptonite.

P.S. The dude sitting right in front of these people definitely has the Kim Jong Un haircut, right?
