  • "Vanishing" ESPN Article On LBJ

    I don't see why it was removed off of ESPN, but here's a link to the article in image form:

    The article was removed because of the fact they call james a child. As true as it may be, ESPN dosnt want to "hate" on those big players. It isn't good for them as an organization. I have never liked Lebron, and this is exactly why. He is a diva. Remember a few years ago in Cleveland he didnt want to where a jersey because it didnt match his shoes? Now people are giving him more attention because he is on a better team with better chances at winning. This is the worst thing that could happen. His ego is a balloon. People keep filling it up with air until eventually it is going to pop. He is going to be messed up. If he dosnt win a championship now, or even when he stops performing well in the middle of the season, he will get chastised. If he goes into a slump, which every player goes through, he is going to get pretty torn up by the press because of his actions in the offseason. Kudos to Davis and Lamar, they acted like professionals.

        This FanHouse piece sums it up (although the part about MJ is pointless and wrong):

        http://nba.fanhouse.com/2010/07/30/l...002&xid=si_nba

        According to an article by Arash Markazi for ESPN.com, he was an eyewitness to James and his pals enjoying themselves at a Las Vegas nightclub, where they saw a couple of women in their birthday suits sitting in a bathtub full of water and rose petals. Markazi wrote that a giant red crown-shaped cake eventually was brought near James while go-go dancers held aloft placards that read KING.

        Markazi also wrote those at the scene -- including NBA players Chris Paul, Glen Davis and Lamar Odom -- were struck by James' arrogance and self-indulgence.

        Added Markazi, "The more you hang around James, the more you realize he's still a child wrapped in a 6-foot-8, 250-pound frame."

        Yeah, well.

        Who cares?

        Young guys with lots of money and huge egos do those types of things, especially athletes. Nobody got hurt or arrested. So it's not a big deal, and neither is the fact that the editors of ESPN.com decided to kill the article on their website after 15 minutes.

        They had good reason to do so. And no, they likely weren't influenced by James or the NBA. According to those ESPN.com editors, while Markazi sat at the table with the James party, he didn't represent himself as a reporter who was planning to write about the episode. That wasn't journalistically ethical, and Markazi agreed.

          Hmm interesting, I was wondering how he was allowed to hang around... They are right to kill the story if the guy misrepresented himself
