LeBron James, in his 2nd season with the Miami Heat, would be well served to repair the damage his entourage of leeches and parasites (what else could they be?) keeps doing to make him look bad.
When the season began on Christmas Day, there was James, in a commercial for State Farm insurance, as their newest sports celebrity endorser, albeit in a more serious gig as opposed to Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers, whose status as a wrestling fan was exploited in his ad. The Heat blew out Dallas that day. That's all well and fine. However, it was a blue Christmas for a Miami baker.
Alethea Hickman was asked to create an elaborate birthday cake for James. According to Yahoo!, said cake was worth about $3,000, pocket change for James. Unfortunately, LeBron never got a chance to sample the goods, because his entourage decided it wasn't good enough for him. Who are these clowns to judge what's good or not? Ms. Hickman was doing this for free, and these nothing happening, glad-handing jabroni leeches didn't have the good sense to accept that.
All that does is perpetuate the perception of LeBron as a spoiled star who has to have everything just so. At the same time, you have him doing a commercial for an insurance company that had nothing to do with the company's current ad campaign ("Get to a better State"), but for charity. I get that it was supposed to be a surprise, but the joke is on this week's Weasels, for rejecting the hard work that went into a confection meant to be fit for a king. Better that the cake was commissioned by the Heat, and not the heat-seeking leeches LeBron surrounds himself with, starting with Maverick Carter. While we don't know who exactly made the decision to reject the cake, we'll just give the whole support team of parasites the weasel ears. Share & share alike, dullards!
I really hate it when one's "entourage" gets involved!
ReplyDeleteEven though the baker may not have been expecting payment for her cake, it would have been great publicity. Of course this story is giving her a bit of a boost, but I agree that the attitudes of James' so called friends was atrocious.
Which is why star athletes like James get in trouble. It's the leeches that insist on being part of the action that cause this sort of thing, because they think they know what's best for their buddy. Chances are that, like James, none of these clowns even bothered to go to college and learn something about society and semantics......
