"Replica rings" -- also known as air -- will be handed out by stadium workers as fans enter the park, according to Chiefs spokesman Nathan Baliva.


quote:

The Chiefs said they are "looking into" whether they can skip the fourth inning to poke fun at James, who scored just 18 points during the fourth quarter in six NBA Finals games.

"We aren't sure if the league will allow it," Peoria president Rocky Vonachen said in a statement. "But if LeBron doesn't need to show up for the fourth, maybe we won't either."


I don't know whether to or

It's funny, but it also seems like overkill for a team that has nothing to do with Lebron, the Heat, or Cleveland.

I hope Lebron gets 5 rings in a row. It's sad how everyone gets upset at the guy.

A lot of this is self-inflicted.

Exactly what I meant

Seriously, anyone who gets so fricking mad either way about professional athletes needs their head examined. However, when/if Lebron does win, the meltdown will be epic of people still finding ways to bash him. It is fascinating and embarrassing at the same time

Damn, Bron sure is hated. I don't get it. Except for that stupid stunt he pulled on ESPN, the man took less money to go play somewhere where he could win. They made it to the Finals in their first year. I hope he runs away with a bunch of rangs.

It would be really entertaining.

I don't know what people get out of hating on him so much?

No. Virtually none of it is.

James didn't do anything to deserve the unprecedented praise he got early in his career, and he hasn't done anything to deserve the vitriol that he's getting now. For some reason, it's always just been really "in" to be obsessed with him one way or another.

First of all. Having tatoos like "Chosen 1" and "King James" doesn't help his cause. Saying dumb shite like, "no one in this league can guard me 1 on 1" then go out and get shut down by Jason fricking Kidd. "The Decision," etc. doesn't help him either. He brought a lot of this shite upon himself.

This is worthy of being the most negatively-scrutinized player on earth?

Dirk & Co. just put on the greatest Finals shooting clinic EVER, and still we obsess over James.

When given the choice between lauding a guy for giving a million bucks to a charity and hating a guy for being less than tactful in his job search, of course the world is COMPLETELY RETARDED and chooses the latter instead of the former.

But if you're HATING an athlete on a personal level because of tats, the Decision, etc then that says you have mental problems or personal problems at home. Lebron didn't break any laws, hurt anyone, no DWI's, etc. Like Lebron said it's only SPORTS, life still goes on for you. If hating an athlete makes your day better, makes you feel better, then you have A LOT of time on your hands.lol. shite when Lebron gets his ring some people will be depressed and cry, I seriously believe that.

When I say you I'm talkin about the haters, not LSUdm21.

The Class A of the Chicago Cubs.

Should they be the ones really making fun of someone not winning a Championship?

This is what I've been thinking throughout this whole thing. Lebron isn't known for getting into trouble off the court. There are plenty of top notch athletes in pro sports who are troublemakers. Lebron isn't one of them
