Meanwhile, LeBron is the ultimate LOOK AT HIS BODY Big Black Stud. Of course, both players have surely practiced their asses off and were/are both fantastic athletes, but the belief is that Jordan constantly willed himself into being while LeBron is innately a physical freak and just steamrolls people without having to work particularly hard at it.

Black people seem particularly invested in LeBron's greatest-of-all-time status, as if the only thing standing between LeBron and that immortality were Bob Cousy. It's such a strange phenomenon, but even I can't deny that Jordan was so great that he did what no one is supposed to be able to do and transcended race. LeBron, though, is fuckin' black.

Hooooo boy.
this is what happen when "LeBron is the greatest ever" becomes a battlefront in the culture war.
You see, Michael Jordan was black, sure, but LeBron is, like,
black black. You think Jordan is better? That can only mean you hate all black people. And that's okay!

One bad season (well, one bad season, one playoff sweep, and one first-round out) has the organ-eye-zation bleeding money and viewers like a hemophiliac. Hockey is D-E-A-D dead in Chicago, hope everyone finally got what they wanted. Meanwhile, the Big Black Studs down the hall can shit up the joint on an indefinite basis and keep making millions of dollars every year.

When did black people become so obsessed with Spongebob?
This story, from skimming it, sounds like a reprise of Schaumburg's very own Dashcon, the convention for people who post on Tumblr, where people who know absolutely nothing about event planning try to plan their own event and then every little thing goes tragically wrong.

Maybe we need a specific Young Black Sports Talk format to adequately address the NBA needs of the market. They can be like "LeBron's stat lines got me feelin' like...like, uh, okay, imagine a picture of Arthur the Aardvark here." Actually, there's a lot of overlap with the Julie DiCaro bit here.
