King James Issues Warning to Critics

If you’ve voiced any kind of criticism for LeBron this summer, know that he’s been watching and listening. And he’s mad! Terrifying, I know: “Don’t think for one min that I haven’t been taking mental notes of everyone taking shots at me this summer. And I mean everyone!”

    critics of this team are dumb

  • BBQ_Bowels

    Thats fine ‘King James’. Just make sure you get your thoughts down on paper. Preferably in a nice, shiny new LRMR branded notebook before you hand it to Mr Wade to handle business.

    Now go sit down like a good boy….

  • JTaylor21

    We also know that when bron plays with anger, he transforms into a totally different animal. He should become angry all time because if he does, the heat become an even better team. Just imagine having to deal with a pissed off wade and bron, woooo.

  • Daniel Dragicevich

    I predict Heat go 82-0 for the regular season and then lose in the first round

    You better watch out
    You better not cry
    Better not pout
    I’m telling you why
    Santa ‘Bron is coming to town
    He’s making a list
    And checking it twice;
    Gonna find out Who’s naughty and nice
    Santa ‘Bron is coming to town
    He sees you when you’re sleeping
    He knows when you’re awake
    He knows if you’ve been bad or good
    So be good for goodness sake!
    O! You better watch out!
    You better not cry
    Better not pout
    I’m telling you why
    Santa ‘Bron is coming to town!

    Heat are definitely the team to beat. made a great team. Let’s hope that him playing against the Celtics in the last few games of the Playoffs wasn’t him angry. Bron could take out a three-peat MVP this year!

  • http://www.slamonline.com Eboy

    If this makes him stop dancing, taking fake pictures and just playing ball, I’m alright with it.

  • andy

    cosign eboy…even though I’m not a heat fan in the slightest way.

  • Mvp23100

    Like I said we will see what’s being said when that ball tips off the public acts like his decision has diminished his skills every year he improves his game somehow like it or not and it’s not right but heat are the team to beat book it

  • Dagger

    Good. Angry LeBron is very good news for Miami.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Eboy

    I’m also kind of shocked that there was a Twitter entry from an NBA player with no grammar mistakes. I’ll let the minute abbreviation slide.

  • Nick the Quick

    That especially means Steve Carrell and that Toliver dude from G-State.

  • James

    This is a different role for LeBron, he’s used to being loved, now he’s not. I can’t to wait to see him play the villain this season.

  • http://sdfkjlf.com Jukai

    UH OH JAMES THE BALLA WATCH OUT!!!!!

  • Dagger

    E: I bet that ish doesnt happen on Riley’s watch / On another note, why are people suddenly questioning the team’s defense wheb they were a top 5 defrnsive team last year with Mike Beasley (!) in the starting lineup? Dwight anf Shaq and Bynum were not a problem last year but now they are?

  • http://www.threadsandkicks.com.au Eduardo

    I wonder if he’ll have an interview with Skip Bayless then?

  • Mvp23100

    Great? Don’t matter he’ll forever be jester James. If he gets better every year why couldn’t he lead the cavs? He knew he couldn’t plus west oinked his mom. Burn idk I’m happy he moved to Miami now he’s not even close to pippen status .

  • The Philosopher

    LONG… LIVE… THE KING!!

  • http://www.slamonline.com Eboy

    @Daggar….because people are notoriously stupid.

  • K.a.

    He has a list!

  • http://facebook.com/abdi_hakim Mohamed

    This is nothing more than ‘Bron’s belly-aching bull crap until he can prove that he’s a winner on the game’s biggest stage. The fact is that the criticism is so easy to place on him because he has nothing to show for all his “work”. 2010-2011, anything short of a trophy will be considered failure in the eyes of many, if not all, spectators.

  • The Philosopher

    Shout out to the whole SLAM community.

  • T-Money

    That was me and not Dagger at 9:40a. This is annoying. / Did someone listen to Bill Simmons’ podcast yesterday? Hilarious. He was saying tha Ray Allen could do a decent job on Wade and Pierce could contain Bron BUT Rondo would destroy Chalmers! And then made the false argument that Mike Miller would not be able to stay in front of Rondo knowing fully well that it would be Wade on Rondo and Miller on Ray Allen in that situation. His rationalization was off the charts. Shaq, which he spent a year dissing in his column, was now Boston’s X-Factor. If I’m Spo, as soon as Shaq subs in, I have Joel Anthony running around the court like a maniac setting picks for e’rrbody and their moms.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Eboy

    The Heat’s point guards can’t f with Rondo….that’s not inaccurate. HOWEVA, if anyone thinks that Wade won’t see a ton of time playing him with this particular team, they are dopey.

  • http://Www.slamonline.com Myles Brown

    Did I make the list? *crosses fingers* Will it be announced on ESPN?

  • http://Www.dimemag.com Royal

    I used 2 hate e-boy, but more & more I respect his opinion once you see that he doesn’t defend everything his guys do, but also offers constuctive criticism for his team. Can’t hate that. Bron definitely should cut the sideshow antics & just take care of business. P.S go LAKERS!!

  • Thor

    Lol @ T-Money

  • http://Www.dimemag.com Royal

    It will be interesting to see how he responds on the court….in my opinion this could be ugly if he tries to prove to people that he ‘s still on MJ’s level and starts being overly agressive (like Kobe does at times).But he just starts playing with a chip on is shoulder then this could be bad for the rest
    of the teams.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Eboy

    Royal, I’ve always been that way toward’s the Heat, I only seem like an as*hole because I’ve always been snowblinded by my Laker hate! Trust me, no one will kill the Heat more than me if they fu*k up this year. You can hold me to that.

  • T-Money

    Myles: sorry to burst your bubble but prolly not. In fact, I don’t think there’s a single media guy on that list. NBA players, legends, execs… I mean, looking at the unconditional love and unlimited access that Zeke still gets with superstars, it’s obvious that they don’t care one bit about what the media guys are writing.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Eboy

    For anyone that was around here when the Heat were winning 15 games with Chris Quinn at the point and D-Wade being wheeled off the court in a wheelchair for a shoulder injury can attest to……

  • http://Www.dimemag.com Royal

    ^^^ Thats not me but I guess I can cosign that statement

  • http://www.kb24.com The Seed

    Lebron is all talk and not enough bite, who cares if he plays mad. Shouldn’t he have been playing mad his whole career and not wait until, MJ, Barkley, Bird and the entire media and fellow NBA players diss him. Now that Lebron got 15 security guards, he can talk big.

  • T-Money

    Myles: how are you dealing with fame now that Adande is name-dropping you? Should we be worried about some sort of binge?

  • http://Www.slamonline.com Myles Brown

    I ain’t nobody special. Still the lowly blogger I’ve always been. But catch me on Around the Horn weekdays at 5 EST!

  • http://www.slamonline.com/ niQ

    This just in, Lebron joins Michael Jordan’s kids camp and then proceeds to dunk on Jordan while he’s teaching how to rebound. 1 down.
    LOL
    On another note, yea Eboy, the no grammar mistakes makes it seems like it’s not really him. haha

  • BYEBYE

    EVERYBODY TALKN ISH BUT WE ALL KNO WHEN BRON IS MAD HE GOES CRAZY HE GETS IN A ZONE AND MAKES EVERY SHOT HE TAKES BRON IZ GONNA DESTROY EVERY SMALL FORWARD ONE ON ONE CUZ HE WONT BE DOUBLED AND WADE IZ GONNA KILL ALL THE GUARDS BOSH GON DO WHAT HE DO CANCEL CHRISTMAS LABRON JAMES HAS FINALLY AWOKE FROM HIS COCOON AND GOTTEN ANGRY AND NOT CARING ABOUT BEING ACCEPTED THATS THE DIF BETWEEN MJ COBE AND BRON HE LIKES TO BE LIKED MAYBE THAT HAS ALL CHANED FOR THE GOOD

  • PapaBearATL

    @James 9:38, In the world of sports entertainment, being a villain isn’t that bad! Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson would not be doing Disney now if he didn’t become a bad guy way back when. Maybe Bron Bron, being the Mean Nasty Bad Man will give him the motivation he needs to get that first ring, that and having 2 other All Stars, lol!

    So does this mean he’s going to start mean-mugging more? If he now can’t ‘build his brand’ by being a fun-loving goof on the sidelines with his fake pics and dancing etc, maybe he’s going to take the wwe approach and just be the player that everybody loves to hate. I mean really, what else can he do on the court that he hasn’t done already? I think he’s best off just being quiet and play his game. No need to be on twitter or do interviews about who/what he’s been watching. I hope Riles doesn’t let him go too far down this path.

  • The D Train

    Does this mean he’ll work on his jumper and post-game? If so, good deal. If it just means he’s going to Kobe-sneer more, f()ck it.

  • Shim

    so what, the heat will beat the cavs by 100? if that happens that will just prove the points of most of his critics, that the heat are a manufactured super team and lebron couldnt do it on his own. when has he even shown any guts? got into a fight? or backed up his talk?

  • kudos

    Gotta love most of the comments saying DONT make Lebron mad!!. But what about, ” A lebron james team never panics?!?” Because the past couple playoff exits the cavs faced, Lebron was the one panicking. -

  • JTaylor21

    @DTrain what u talking bout you BIG DUMMY. Bron has a very underrated jumpshot as evidence by him scoring the most points from 15 feet or out in the league last year. You lakers bitc*hes never state facts just made up fantasies in yall heads. Also nobody wants to copy kobe’s corny-a** with all that teeth showing/grilling, thinking his tough. Kobe is nothing but a fake/bad fabrication of MJ, he’s like MJs illegtimate cyborg that was created in a frankenstein lab. Kobe’s a tongue hanging, fist pumping MJ looking boy.

  • http://sdfjklf.com Jukai

    Bron’s jumper was really wet during the playoffs, JTaylor. I like Lebron but damn son, he’s not a perfect player, don’t defend everything. His jumper needs work. It does. It’s too streaky.

  • vtrobot

    @Eduardo: You’re confusing “anger” with “knowing your ma is effing one of your teammates”. That’s what he was playing with during the Boston series. Maybe he won’t have to deal with that again next year (Gloria + Mike Miller?) and he can just focus on all of this anger. Yes, MIA will sweep the C’s in the playoffs next year. They’ll be so angry and amazing. I’m thinking of hoping on the bandwagon. Sounds like it’s going to be quite the party.

  • Javy

    Wow, be careful out there, Bron is angry….ouuch!!!
    He might stand around a game longer of what he did against Boston and dont’ do a damn thing, He might prepare a big buffet with lots of drinks and announce who the critics are while wearing a gold tooth.
    Now that he joined the gang HE’S TOUGH!!!
    Everyday he continues to look like an a****ss.
    He forgets there’s a league with competitors who won’t bend over to his wishes….jajajaja
    Wade, you’re another story! Keep your pride and you might become the greates ever. This from a Laker fan.

  • JTaylor21

    @Jukai, When did I ever say his jumpshot doesn’t need work. Players continue to work on their shot not matter how good it is because no one has a PERFECT jumpshot. All I’m saying is that people still think that bron can’t shoot for sh*t which is BS and all he does is dunk the ball like his DHow or something. Also with all the talk about kobe’s so called great jumpshot, that sh*t was no where to be found in the Finals. By the way who is the perfect player? NO ONE

  • http://www.springbored.net letsmotor

    Damn, LDR4. Can’t believe I read that whole poem when all you did was chang Claus to ‘Bron twice.

  • total scrotal implosion

    LAST NIGHT, THERE WAS A BENCH CLEARING FIGHT IN BASEBALL. PLAYERS GOT KICKED WITH CLETES, ETC. AFTER FIGHT WAS DONE, THE GAME RESUMED!!!!! NO ONE WAS EJECTED!!! WHEN THINGS LIKE THAT HAPPEN IN NBA, ITS, THEYRE ALL THUGS, SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM, ETC. BUT BASEBALL, THEYRE JUST GOOD OL BOYS, BOYS OF SUMMER, JUST A SCUFFLE. BLATANT RACISM!!!!!!!
