Lebron probably has had life experiences he can draw from that have helped him succeed off the basketball court to an extent. Being educated literally refers to the amount of actual schooling you have received so this was an arrogant comment made even more so by its incorrectness.


I don’t think that’s true. Otherwise the term formal education would be redundant and unnecessary. Not all educations are at an academy or school. That’s just me sort of interpreting based off the existence of that term though. Not sure the exact definition.

He is an amazing athlete. He is also suffering from the lack of any concept of the world outside his bubble. He has been literally crowned royalty since he was 16 years old.

You could be describing Lebron or this entire forum with that sentence.

My 13 year old could out debate Lebron.

So could the fools he hired to vandalize his own house.

His stance on Daryl Morey's China comments, while touting himself as a social justice warrior, are all you need to know about his level of intelligence and integrity.

Here's you admitting it

quote:

The trade deficit is what Trump latch onto to get you poorly educated morons to pay attention to China.


Here's what you initially said concerning the China trade war, mentioned nothing about trade deficit, you didn't define what victory/defeat meant:

quote:

Losing the trade war to China


I don't know how the universe defines winning/losing a trade war, all I know is Trump did way better in his performance compared to his predecessors and secured tons of jobs for Americans with the negotiated China deal. Interesting you complain about Trump's China trade war when his predecessors' performances relative to China set the lowest standard in world history but that's what happens when simpletons like you are allowed to vote.

From one of the evidence exhibits I submitted:

quote:

That’s right, folks. Our ruling class endangered America’s national security by allowing our country to be de-industrialized. Their globalist offshoring and trade policies destroyed America’s domestic manufacturing capacity to the point where we are now dependent on China to supply vital components for our military aircraft, tanks, and weapons systems. They put our national defense at the mercy of a communist regime hell-bent on world domination.

What China didn’t steal from us, they bought out with the assistance of our financial sector (via politically connected private equity firms like Hunter Biden’s). As my radio co-host Rick Manning put it: “[W]e are basically inventing the tools that will be used to destroy us by foreign competitors who will steal them, manufacture them, and then sell them to us for ten cents on the dollar or point them at us and say, ‘Surrender.’”

Trump didn’t start this war with China, but he’s the only one trying to win it. Everyone else is busy convincing us to surrender. (Joe Biden, father of Hunter, doesn’t even think China is a threat at all!)

Trump’s opening salvo was to impose tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum to protect our national security—because a viable manufacturing base requires a domestic steel industry. China was dumping steel—below the price it costs them to make it—for the sole purpose of driving our industry out of business. Despite one bogus sky-is-falling Wall Street Journal headline after another, Trump stood his ground and threw down those tariffs. The “free trade” fundamentalists were wrong. Trump’s tariffs worked, and a lot of Americans were able to get back to work.

Since then, Trump has levied tariffs on China’s exports and pressured U.S. companies to move their supply-chains out of China in an effort to end the unfair trade practices and industrial policies that China has followed for decades. These measures have put intense pressure on the Chinese economy, particularly its manufacturing sector, as shown by industrial production falling to its weakest level in 17 years. Chinese companies have paid for the tariffs by lowering prices, and the Chinese currency has fallen in value, making imported goods more expensive for its consumers. Meanwhile, China’s neighboring U.S. allies are benefiting by exporting more to the U.S.

Trump also reasserted America’s moral authority in calling out China’s horrifying human rights abuses. The Pentagon under Trump exposed China’s imprisonment of three million Uighur Muslims in concentration camps, while the Muslim world ignored their plight. He welcomed the families of these Uighurs Muslims to the Oval Office, expanded arms sales to Taiwan to defend its sovereignty, and pressured the regime in Beijing to yield to the Hong Kong democracy protesters.

All of this has required political courage in the face of relentless opposition from our corrupt and co-opted elites.

China’s communist rulers have openly declared that their goal is to defeat the United States economically and militarily. They will bribe our politicians, buy out our companies, steal our military secrets, and infiltrate our media and universities to do so. Our Pentagon warns that China’s military is “increasingly able to project power” and “contest U.S. military superiority.”


quote:

But since it increased under Trump because import taxes don't work, just like we said they would not becausewe have seen them before, you moved to goalposts to where the trade deficit no longer matters.


You didn't define what winning/losing a trade war meant and I don't think the public defines winning/losing a trade war by that either not to mention the evidence I submitted rebutting your Biden-influenced claim (since China wanted Biden to win over Trump clearly since he's easier to deal with wink wink)

Come on arent you being hard on Lequon. I mean just because Daryl Morey has a computer science degree and an MBA and has actually run an entire organization...........I mean Lequon did get his high school diploma!!!! I am sure the Queen spends his off time reading scientific and economic journals.

He is definitely entitled and has been coddled since a very early age. And he surrounds himself with an entourage of yes men who give him an highly inflated sense of self worth and intelligence.

He lived in multiple projects in a single-parent family. His dad was uninterested in family life. His mom, on her own, financially struggled as they went from project to project in the Akron area. He was on the pee wee football team and his HC recognized he was missing school and confronted his mom. They agreed to let him stay with his football coach and family, and that was in the 4th grade.

How entitled should LeBron have felt?

the entitlement began in high school at the private school he attended. 14 is a very early age in my book. You know the minute he set foot on that campus he was treated differently, put on a pedestal and all that comes with it the minute he arrived.

You must have grown up near the water boy. For the rest of us, I wasn't living in abject poverty only to leave my family to go live with basically foster parents.

Why not just say, you don't like him. It is a lot more honest and you don't have to keep characterizing LeBron as something he isn't to fit your narrative.

So he practiced and trained for years to have a better life as an adult than his parents. He is involved in his kids life. He is married to their mom. He hasn’t been to jail and/or continue to break basic rules. Maybe if he pumped these strategies into young, black males heads instead of “poor me” bullshite he could do some good for the community.

He is also very involved in nurturing guys just coming into the NBA and proving some serious financial direction for these new millionaires. From investments to agents. When it comes to getting off his own wallet and investing in something other than his own wealth, he is truly the anti-Jordan.
