LeBron James may be the king on the court, but off the court? Lou Williams just handed him a technical knockout with his mouth. After LeBron teased a dramatic “Decision 2.0” announcement, the world waited for retirement news.
And then? Boom. It was a Hennessy ad and Lou Williams is worried about James inviting youths to a Hennessy party.
Williams thinks James’ retirement fakeout set a bad example for kids, he said, per FanDuel Sports’ Run It Back.
“It’s the dad and the coach in me. When you flirt with the Decision 2.0, the first time it was about the Boys & Girls Club. So, when you do it again, you involve the kids,” Williams said. “My daughter texted me “Is LeBron retiring?” So, now, you have this age of kids waiting to hear his decision, and we’re inviting them to a Hennessey party.”
Lou Williams’ co-host, Chandler Parsons, didn’t like LeBron’s new ad either.
“I thought it would be something worthy of making a decision about [retiring]. So, yeah, I got duped a little bit,” Parsons said. “But I didn’t love this. You’re LeBron James, man. It just felt like a reach for attention when you’re the last person that needs that. I was not a fan.”
Somebody get LeBron James a PR playbook and Lou a mic!
