At the risk of making Christmas Eve here at SB Nation Chicago an "all LeBron James day", this report about the pompous Miami Heat star deserves mention, and derision.
↵↵James will turn 26 next Thursday. And despite the fact that he earns $14.5 million to play basketball:↵↵The Miami Heat player has hired a marketing firm to find backers willing to help fund his December 30 party, dubbed the "Full Court Birthday Celebration."↵↵
What, that's not enough to fill his buddies' goodie bags? Wait, it gets more ridiculous:
↵↵The celebrity bash "is royal themed fitting for a birthday celebration of a king, channeling an ambience of extravagant court life."↵↵↵
↵Potential sponsors will have further chances to catch a glimpse of the self-styled "King" as his celebrations -- which started in New York this month -- keep going until the final date in Atlanta on April 10.↵
↵But for someone who pays so much attention to the finer details, his name is spelled "Lebron" throughout the presentation -- at odds with his own website's preference.
Seriously: "birthday celebration of a king, channeling an ambience of extravagant court life"? Who is this, a professional basketball player or Czar Nicholas II? And just remember what happened to poor Nicky. This is beyond ridiculous.
↵↵LeBron, you need to be taken down about a million notches. NBAers -- you can start by defeating this pompous ass and his teammates every single game they play. LeBron, you may have bought a championship. But you are a miserable human being.
