Lebron James Wins SI’s Sportsman of the Year…Puke City
CNNSI - “I’m in a different place than other people,” he says. “That’s O.K. I understand. I was chosen for this. It’s my gift. It’s my responsibility.” “Did I think an award like this was possible two years ago?” James says. “No, I did not. I thought I would be helping a lot of kids and raise $3 million by going on TV and saying, ‘Hey, I want to play for the Miami Heat.’
I just want to clarify that the guy who wrote this article is Lee Jenkins. People may remember that he was my co-panelist on Rome when I went on that show for a week. We used to sit in the Green Room together waiting to go on and he’d be ranting and raving what a great dude Lebron was blah, blah, blah.. I’d have steam coming out of my ears trying to restrain myself from punching him in the eyeball. Why am I saying this? Because Lee Jenkins always liked Bron Bron. He didn’t hate him when he turned his back on Cleveland. He didn’t’ hate him for The Decision. He didn’t hate him when he made fun of Dirk for being sick in the Finals. He didn’t hate him when he charged people 25K to come to his birthday party. None of the stuff that made people despise Lebron ever bothered Lee Jenkins. He was always on Team Lebron from the word go and so was Sports Illustrated. Why is that important? Because this article makes it seem like Lebron has won people over. That people have suddenly accepted him. Nothing could be further from the truth. Nobody has changed their opinion on Lebron as a human being. He is still one of the biggest frauds on planet earth. He is still despised in every single building he walks into. He is still going straight to hell when he dies. Is he a decent baskeball player? Yes. But if you want to talk about an athlete who had a transcendent year and is beloved world wide the winner had to be Usain Bolt. Unfortunately for Usain he doesn’t have Lee Jenkins in his back pocket.

Lebron is a better basketball player than tom brady is football player.
I thought I was dreaming at first but holy shit it’s actually a sports bliog!

Pres stop trying to make this happen. It’s not going to happen. The world loves LeBron and hates you. Don’t be so jealous.
If Lebron is sportsman of the year then Neil should be blogger of the year
He went up in my book by playing like a man and leaving nothing in doubt, but he’s still an asshole for the decision
what is he talking about helping kids and raising 3 million dollars?
LeBron… the worst
and JHop, the only people outside of Florida who love Lebron are douchebag front runner fans who likely don’t know dick about basketball. I don’t know where you come from but he’s the villain of the NBA (along with Dwight Howard now)
Youre wrong Pres, people HAVE begun to like him.
P.S. That video made me laugh out loud after the first gun in the bullet.
British teeth, the ring argument is completely invalid. You can’t judge how good a player someone is by the amount of championships they have in a team sport. By that logic trent dilfer is better than both Dan Marino and Barry Sanders.
Hey Pres why don’t you go ahead and shit on LeBron when you’ve got multiple MVP’s, gold medals, and an NBA championship in your back pocket
You do know that charging 25k to go to a party keeps out the low rollers and wannabees right?
Haters gonna hate…..
SI redefining “in the tank”.
LeBro hasn’t seen that hairline since Renee’s bhole pure.

Was it the last gun in the bullet Prez? Yeah? And fuck Lebron, the guy is a baby-back bitch
While watching that fucking Samsung commercial, my completely senile grandfather said without an ounce of hatred in his heart “I wonder if he actually knows any of those kids mothers”
1. No one watched you on Jim Rome, so no one even knew who Lee Jenkins was to begin with, let alone remember him
2. Imagine a guy who actually met LeBron having an opinion on him. You’re right, much more credible thoughts on LeBron come from a nobody like you.
@macfunden – you know what else keeps out the low rollers? a fucking guest list and a bouncer. charging people $25k to go to your own birthday party is top 3 douchiest things a person can do. its not being a “hater” its calling a spade, a spade
Last gun in the bullet…What a MA-ROON
@ “no Black People” — Brady doesn’t commit a foul every single time he touches the ball like Bron Bron does. I would guess you haven’t played the game, because if you did you would know that Bron Bron either 1. does that hop-hop skip, 3 step TRAVEL every time he dribbles the ball, and/or 2. lowers his shoulder and drives into a defensive player like a football running back, and NEVER GETS CALLED FOR IT. Not better than Brady by a long shot over your mother’s chin.
god i hate that guy. nice all black suit idiot
So it’s lebrons fault he never gets called for it? Don’t hate the player hate the Ref. And as for that mothers chin comment, i don’t know what it means, but you need to find some other non middle class, public school way of insulting people. It doesn’t connect with people who had to wear a tie and a Blazer to school everyday
Ok so just googled “over your mothers chin”. appearently it’s a cum joke? That’s real mature of you. What are you like 15? “Cum hahahha” Grow up you probable Mick and or Whomp. You’re a bigger whiner than brady screaming for a flag when he gets touched.
Lebron wins one title in a lock-out shortened season and it’s the greatest thing that ever happened. Lebron’s still the same old d-bag, that Samsung commercial is hilarious. You can win 10 rings Lebron, you’ll still be a douche.
LeBron haters have become way more insufferable than LeBron himself. Reading this site actually made me wanna root for the guy in the playoffs
This was SI’s last gun in the bullet, so to speak.
Lebron became the 2nd player to win MVP/Finals MVP/Gold Medal in a year. He submitted maybe the best statistical season since MJ’s prime, and he did it while being the best perimeter defender in the league (no, he can’t guard 1-5, but 1-4 is pretty damn impressive). All you haters should appreciate him while you can. Bron is the best since Jordan, and there probably won’t be another player as good as him for 15+ years after he retires, just like Jordan. He may be a douchebag and a bad person, but anyone who doesnt admit Lebron is BY FAR the best player in the NBA is a delusional, brainwashed asshole
Can’t wait until Lebron is on Broke, Part 2 for 30 for 30.
My biggest concern here is Lebron’s neck tie game… Clipping on the non clip-on without even an attempt at tying a not? No one at SI could show him how to do this? C’mon man…
Brockton – good point, I overreacted in haste. Because lebron is a cunt. And because – regardless of the rings this time – Brady’s led his team to 5 chip games to lebron’s 1.
Whomp? Um, Black Guy From Brockton, it’s Wop. Guess that tie and blazer thing only gets you so far…
I can’t believe that you didn’t point out that he has no clue what a tie clip is for.
Somebody at the SI editorial offices must have sent their brains out to be dry-cleaned.
I think I would rather spend a weekend with Neil then spend 5 minutes with Lebron fucking James.
