This photo went viral when it seemed that Lebron forgot he was playing with the Cavs again but apparently he didn’t and all the people who think they know basketball, well you have some studying to do.
Lebron said that people are consistently looking for him to mess up and frankly, its getting stupid.
“For non-basketball people,” James began with a smirk when asked about the apparent blooper before the Cavs played the Indiana Pacers in Cincinnati on Wednesday, “our coverage is for me to show and for Delly [Dellavedova] to go under me and we just didn’t get the call right at the time. Delly was supposed to slide under me and we kind of ran into each other.
“So, for non-basketball people, they like to critique everything that I do. It’s stupid.”
And Dellavedova agreed with him:
“My family sent me the link of it,” Dellavedova told ESPN.com. “He just showed out [on the ball handler] and I just needed to go under. So, it wasn’t really anything. I mean, you know how the media can get, right? It’s obviously more crazy with anything involving LeBron.”
Everyone nitpicks Lebron, he’s one of the worlds most famous athletes so sadly, it comes with the territory. Fans and critics alike are expecting Lebron to upgrade this Cleveland team to new heights, I guess we will see soon how much of a leader he really is in the coming weeks.
