If the Knicks really are looking to recruit the ‘King’, that’s probably not the way to go about doing it. Laying down and having him abuse you is not the way to earn LeBron James’ respect. Granted, you have cleaned house to ready yourselves for his arrival, but you don’t expect the ‘King’ to live in a palace with no furniture do you? What do you really have to offer the guy? Do you really think he’s going to respect you after letting them go coast-to-coast after one of your buckets?
And one thing for the ‘King’ to embarrass you…that’ll happen. That happens to everyone! Quite another, though for the ‘Correspondent King’ to humiliate you.
Look at my man Delonte West with the sweet, blind, lob to James. The ‘King’ nearly smacked his dome on the iron. “How playa’ was that”, ‘D’?! Too bad it didn’t count. But “how playa’ was that?!” No it didn’t count, but this did! Seconds later, Delonte getting up and getting nasty on the baseline! And while no bench mob in the league parties like the Cavs bench mob...they’re usually hugging on each other and having their share of “oh no he didn’t” moments. I’ve never seen them take each other to the floor like they did when Delonte got up and threw down. And with good reason! I mean, “how playa was that?”
Look, who really knows what Lebron is going to do? He could bolt! I mean, one drink, one stop, there’s a better party and we’re not at it, right? Maybe, but he’s not leaving that party to run with the dogs he just schooled. There might be a better party, but the Knicks aren’t it.
