A Philly Dealer Branded Heroin ‘LeBron James’


The police busted a heroin dealer from Philadelphia who they claim branded his stuff using LeBron James’ name. Per the Philly Daily News: “LeBron James has endorsed McDonald’s, Nike and State Farm, but there’s one product right now on the streets of Philadelphia carrying his name that he most certainly did not endorse – heroin. Upper Darby police said that they busted a major heroin dealer from Philadelphia on Thursday who had 140 packets of the deadly drug – all of which were stamped with the silhouette of a basketball player and the name ‘LeBron James.’ ‘I don’t think LeBron James would be too happy with this drug-dealer dude using his name on these street bags,’ said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood. Chitwood said that drug dealers stamp every bag of heroin with a name, but it’s usually one like Hellen or Hazel or words like horse or brown sugar.”
