Who the frick thought that was a good idea to put that in a game anyway


Want this to be even better for you?

Lebron James’s production company, Springhill Entertainment, is the one that wrote and produced this scene for 2k.

So the answer is: Lebron James. These are literally his words.

Apparently “the world” only covers places involving black people or things that don’t cost him earnings.

Why is that in an NBA basketball video game?

Well it wasn’t, but it’s so bizarre that they wanted it to be. I have no idea.

Just proves again and again what a megalomaniac he is.

The last 3-4 years 2k has forced super cringy SJW cutscenes to buyers playing the MyPlayer mode. Wasn’t but a few years back SpikeLee produced a version where even if you created a white character, you grew up with a black family in the hood and you were woke.

I quit buying them but as you can imagine the A button on my controller was worn out from trying to skip these type of cutscenes

This is the same version that forced WNBA players upon its buyers. When legitimately no one from the fanbase asked for that feature

Which makes it like the actual WNBA, which the NBA about as a loss leader funded by people who wanted to watch the regular NBA players play.

I work with a guy that I like to describe like this:

He's the worst kind of stupid - he thinks he's smarter than everyone else, but has no clue that he's always the dumbest person in the room.

Never forget that Lebron James once wrote an Instagram post to his younger self to congratulate himself on his own accomplishments.

“I love me some me”

Even without this China debacle, who in the frick does this guy think he is? There’s some serious delusional narcissism going on there.
