He may be a dubmass....but he's a dubmass worth half a billion dollars. Wish I could be that dumb.
Lebron is entitled
To his opinion but that’s all it is. He is not an expert on college athletics, constitutional law, economics or various and sundry other topics. Just like I don’t know the finer points of hedging on screens, he’s got nothing to teach us about subjects in which he has no expertise. Saying he should stay in his lane is perfectly reasonable. He should take some advice from Kendrick Lamar and sit down and be humble.

I love this argument on a message board. Its truly awesome. Dripping with irony.
The idea that one can only have and express opinions on that which they are a classically learned/trained expert is comical.
Its posts like this that remind me that MSU has sidewalk fans just like everyone else.
With all do respect, that’s just plain stupid - at the minimum.
Billionaire owners don’t care about NCAA. That’s their main competition for tv money. I suspect they’re doing what they can to damage the NCAA game. St LeBron has owner aspirations so do the math.
He may be smart but you wouldn't know it listening to him talk. Just a bunch of illegible dribble, no pun intended. When he tries to sound intelligent, you can tell he really has to work at it.
Fortunately for him, intelligence is not part of the job description when you're a freak athlete with freak size and freak speed. And those guys should be able to make a living straight out of high school if the market demands it. Just keep the microphone away from him because being really good at basketball does not qualify him to provide political and social commentary.

When my message board poats
Who’s saying he can’t have an opinion? Learn to read better. The argument is that his opinion is just as important as any other uninformed schmuck on a message board (including mine), but it’s treated differently because he can throw a ball through a hoop. Which is asinine.

Opinions are fine. There's nothing wrong with posting opinions on message boards. Lebron is in a different situation - he is followed by millions and millions of mindless snowflakes who can't think objectively....so he has an added responsibility to be informed when he provides commentary, or just shut the hell up and dribble. For him to make comments like "the president doesn't give a f- about us" is reckless and irresponsible, and is more divisive than anything else.
This isn't about politics....it's about being responsible. There are many other athletes who disagree with the current political climate but handle it in a much more mature, much more measured manner.

Yes, I laughed at this as well. I don't disagree with the premise, but to include those two is funny. I actually audibly laughed at seeing White Chocolate's name.
Do having opinions about that which you are not an expert is fine as long as you dont have people who care about your opinions?
Brilliant***
You debate like an idiot. I mean liberal.
How stupid do you have to be to disagree with the premise that people who are in a position to influence others should be responsible with the things they say?
Lebron is simply telling it like it is. We all know that college sports are corrupt. Does it upset us, yes. However, there is nothing the NCAA or FBI can do to clean the sports up. Paying the players above board won't change it either. Do you really believe if Alabama has to pay its athletes $1500 per semester that they won't continue to pay the $50k/semester for signing with them???? Teams that want the best athletes are always going to pay for them and the athletes know it. Why do you think some wait until the last minute to sign?? Highest bidder folks.
This is a joke right?
Kyrie Irving believes the Earth is flat because he researched it on Instagram.
Settle down, i took the low hanging fruit. It eas an easy spike after you set it up so well.
Yes, i would like people with influence to be responsible with what they say.
At the same time, if he views his words as being responsible...then what? Its LeBron- the guy carefully crafts social media posts to support his narrative/motivation.
I am pretty sure anything he posts that is going to be analyzed has been read, discussed, and adjusted if needed.
I genuinely find it ironic that you mention Trump when complaing that LeBron makes reckless and irresponsible comments.
Its unfortunate in either case, but its still richly ironic that Trump was mentioned as the victim of irresponsible and reckless comments. Ha ha ha, too funny.
Getting back to James- i think his comments are doing exactly what he wants them to do. I suppose as confirmatipn, its smart of him to use his influence to his advantage.
You agree with his opinion, thus you defend him. Quit trying to make it something it is not. Just admit it. Your logic sucks.
I dont agree with LeBron because i dont know probably 90% of what he posts on social media. The only time i know about something is if i happen to hear it mentioned in conversation or on ESPN during a game. I dont use any of the current instant social media platforms.
I dont think Trump cares about me, but ive never thought he cared. Didnt think he cared about me when he was on the Apprentice in the 00s, didnt think he cared about me when he oversaw that beauty pageant in the 90s, and didnt think he cared about me when he tabloided it up in the 80s.
Why would he care about me now in the teens?
For the record, i dont think Obama, lil Bush, Clinton, big Bush, or Reagan cared about me either.
Throwing stones while living in a glass house has always been dumb. Complaing that people are being mean to you when you attack people should never be quietly accepted.
Should he stay in his lane and shut down his charitable giving? Or is that OK with you?
Number one....low hanging fruit? That's priceless. Your "spike" was more like a whiff.
Number two...LeBron probably does think his comments are responsible. He probably thinks that because he is an idiot. Now THAT'S low hanging fruit. Welcome to the conversation.
Number three...my comments about Trump were intentional, and your pivot to criticism of him was predictable. I think the kids call that "triggered" these days. I'm no Trump apologist and the same argument applies to him being more responsible too. The difference between the two is Trump could tweet "the sky is blue" and he will get attacked mercilessly for it (like when he tweeted thoughts and prayers after the school shooting), but LeBron can make insensitive, inflammatory statements that are meant to divide and have no factual basis, but millions lap it up and cradle his balls for being so intelligent and enlightened. I weep for the future of this country.
Final note....thanks for making it political. Now maybe this God forsaken thread can be locked.

There is no analogy between the 'responsiblity' that LeBron has when he tweets and the responsibilities Donald Trump has when he tweets. The latter is the Lavar Ball of world history and the former is Ali with kids gloves.
The word 'responsibility' is so far stretched in this attempt at a comparison that it has become unintelligible. LeBron's opinions have next to no consequence in comparison.
Is LeBron a dubmass *****? Maybe, I'll need a clarification since he probably never took the ACT. If he is stupid, can you blame him for it?
I don't believe Trump is stupid and therefore hold him fully accountable for saying things like: I like war heroes that aren't taken prisoner. But if I thought he was a dubmass ***** it wouldn't make any sense for me to hold him accountable, or even to be angry with him.
