LeBron James Wants His “Damn Respect” After Leading Lakers To 17th NBA Championship
Source: Mike Ehrmann / Getty Job finished. The Los Angeles Lakers won their record-tieing 17th NBA championship. After completing the task, LeBron James had something to say. Love him or hate him, LeBron James is the world’s greatest basketball player right now in his 17th season, which is a testament to his greatness. The man has lived in the playoffs and NBA Finals consistently, yet we still take what he does yearly for granted. The fact that people consistently hate on him (looking at you, Skip Bayless) doesn’t elude him at all due to him rarely addressing his naysayers. He usually just waits for the perfect moment to give them the attention they beg for. Following securing his fourth NBA championship and NBA Finals MVP, Bron didn’t hold no punches during his speech and demand respect f...

After the game, The King and fellow star Anthony Davis dedicated the trophy to Bryant, who died January in a helicopter crash. The Lakers’ 17th title tie the Boston Celtics franchise for the all-time record.

Source: AAron Ontiveroz/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via Getty Images / Getty LeBron James is just like the rest of us, fed the f*ck up and frustrated following Wednesday’s (Sept.24) horrendous decision in the Breonna Taylor case. James was one of the many athletes extremely unsurprisingly disappointed and upset with the decision not to charge any officers in the unjustified shooting death of Breonna Taylor. Immediately following the decision, James took to Twitter to voice his anger and revisited the powerful message the late Malcolm X shared regarding the treatment of Black women around the world. “The most DISRESPECTED person on Earth is THE BLACK WOMAN!

Looking At You Skip Bayless: LeBron James Claps Back At Critics Following Lakers Game 2 Win
Source: Kevin C. Cox / Getty LeBron James had time for armchair experts critiquing his performance on the court. Fresh off a stunning Los Angeles Lakers victory over the Denver Nuggets in game two of the Western Conference Finals that saw Anthony Davis nail a buzzer-beating three, James took some time to address his haters. Before the game came down to the defining moment, the Lakers were cruising, for the most part, led by a torrid start by James before he cooled off in the second half, and Davis took over. Critics like professional LeBron James hater, Skip Bayless, didn’t waste time twisting himself into a pretzel to find a way to fault King James for the Lakers almost losing the game. They believe that Bron was trying to get himself out of the pivotal moment and relieving himself of the...
