LeBron claims race was a factor in backlash

LeBron James and adviser Maverick Carter took their talents to CNN last night. And they used their time with host Soledad O’Brien to let everyone know they thought race played a factor in the backlash from “The Decision”.

“Color” me shocked…

“I think so at times. It’s always, you know, a race factor,” said James, according to a CNN transcript (at bottom of link).

Carter said he thought race “definitely played a role in some of the stuff coming out of the media, things that were written for sure.”

I have to say folks, I’m a bit worried. My LeBron naughty and nice list the other day could have been construed as racist. So LeBron, I offer you my deepest apologies sir.

Allow me to extend an olive branch your way. Perhaps I can issue said apology at a press conference from my local Boys and Girls club. I’m thinking “The Mea Culpa” seems like a fitting title.

Perhaps Jim Gray could host? Would you allow him to remove his lips from your ass for just a few minutes LeBron? That’s all I need.
