Cleveland is in the running for the 2018 All-Star Game and LeBron is like NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
“It would be too much for me,” James said following shootaround Tuesday in advance of the Cavaliers’ game against the Bucks. “It would be too much for me. I think it would be great for us to host it, but hopefully I’m no good in that year if we get it.
“I don’t want it. My family, friends — I don’t want it. Too much.”
Not exactly the endorsement the city was looking for. LeBron isn’t quite at Kobe levels of honesty, but he is getting there. I understand what he is saying, but I think he could have said it in a better way.
Just say that you hope the city gets it and then deal with it they are awarded the game. Now, the NBA is going to look at that like LeBron isn’t going to help, so Cleveland will never get the All-Star game.
