LeBron James rips Cleveland on his Twitter page
A. Isaac 
Last night, the Cleveland Cavaliers played arguably one of the worst games in NBA history. To give you some insight into how bad it was, Shannon Brown of the Lakers hit a buzzer-beater at the end of the 3rd quarter to put them up 92-41. Yes, a 51-point lead with still another whole quarter left to play. The final result? 112-57, truly an embarrassing effort all around as the Cavs couldn’t even muster more than 16 points in any single stanza.
Judging from the post-game comments, the Cavs coaches and players were well-aware of how bad their performance was. The Lakers certainly were aware of it as Kobe Bryant expressed sympathy for head coach Byron Scott. But it was the tweet from former Cavs standout LeBron James that really ruffled some feathers on the internet last night. Yes, LeBron James took time out of his insanely busy South Beach schedule to comment on the affairs in Cleveland.
Now, it’s tough to tell here whether James is actually familiar with the term karma. He’s not exactly well-educated so I can’t say I would be terribly surprised. However, it seems pretty straight-forward that he is directing his anger to Dan Gilbert and the Cleveland fan base that treated him poorly in his return just last month.
Not sure what kind of reception “The King” was expecting. Perhaps he thought they’d roll out the red carpet for his highness.
Regardless, the tweet more or less signifies how out of touch with reality James is and how much of an ego he has. Then again, everything he’s done since “The Decision” has been nothing short of stupid, so in essence, I’m not sure we’ve come to expect anything less.
