LeBron James Twitter Account

There you go, King James lovers.

Here’s the deal. It should be King LeBron, not King James.

I’m sorry, but I’m on the Skip Bayless train when it comes to LeBron speak. He’s a prince, and he’ll continue to be a prince until he wins one. And who gave him the nickname of King James? If I were starting a basketball team, I might pick him third or fourth, behind Kobe, D-Wade and probably Chris Paul. I’m nuts, right?

Regardless, now you can find out what “King James” had for breakfast, lunch and dinner, how he feels after his games, what he’s doing over the weekend, the frequency of his bowel movements and if he’s ever going to become a really good jump shooter. All via twitter.

LeBron’s publicist confirmed the reports that James did set up a Twitter account. If he’s gone this long without it, I wanna know why the heck he would want one now!? I suppose in his quest to become a billion dollar athlete and the most recognizable face in the world, tweeting is a necessity. Can’t lose any competition…except the basketball games that really count.

I’m sure I’m coming off as a LeBron hater, and that couldn’t be further from the truth–yeah, I think the guy is a little bit entitled, but I know he works hard. I do want to see him succeed, and grandly at that, but if he’s gonna be King, then he needs to rule in a dreamlike fashion–on and off the court. If he gave like he had been given, I’d be his biggest fan! I have no problem stating that he is one of the finest athletes to have ever played a professional sport–he just hasn’t tapped all of his potential.
