LeBron James blaming his son for a poor performance is a new low

LeBron James has smelly breath and halitosis

LeBron James has smelly breath, which shouldn't surprise anyone. Not just because of the wine, but because LeBron definitely is surrounded by yes men, and he probably just does his halitosis breath in everyone's face.

LeBron James' physical therapist's deleted Instagram post was a calculated excuse for his poor season

No elite head coach will want to take the Lakers job

LeBron James is suffering from alcohol withdrawal after drinking two bottles of wine

LeBron, this is a symptom of alcohol withdrawal. He had at least two bottles of wine, to himself, split maybe with a couple glasses to his three-year-old kid or whatever... that would put his blood alcohol content at above the legal limit... meaning the next day he was going through symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, which is maybe why they lost.

Except, father time has taken its hold on me, and I need to go to sleep.

You guys have cooties. I don't want to touch you.
