The award-winning author heaps a Mount Everest pile of scorn on James' grandstanding, and especially that of Maverick Carter, CEO of LRMR Marketing.
James is throwing a few foosball tables at Boys & Girls Clubs, an empty gesture out of the empty superstar. He’s turned free agency into the title of our times, a preening pageant of fawning, begging and pleading. Hard-working people are dragged into municipalities and told to hold signs, chant scripted slogans and beg a diva who doesn’t care about them to accept a $100 million contract.
Privately, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh weren’t pleased on Wednesday morning with the belief that James’ camp was responsible for leaking their plans (to unite with the Miami Heat) to a television partner, but then again it makes perfect sense: This isn’t about Wade and Bosh choosing the Heat. It’s about LeBron getting the stage to himself on Thursday night.
That, Cavs fans, is about as easygoing as Wojnarowski gets in a well-crafted, well-worded, blistering rant.
