Book Takes LeBron Hatred To New Low
MIAMI (CBSMiami.com) – Miami Heat superstar LeBron James has been subjected to some vicious vitriol since he joined the Miami Heat. But a new biography by Scott Raab is set to take LeBron hatred to a sad, new level.
Tuesday, Esquire Magazine published an excerpt from Raab's forthcoming LeBron biography he has titled, "The Whore of Akron." The rambling hatred that the excerpt provides will not sit well with LeBron or Miamians in general.
"This is where LeBron James wants to play basketball, in front of sun-dried cretins who must be bribed to act as if they care about the game and the team," Raab wrote. "Where another superstar already is the Man in the locker room and on the court; where nobody in the media will ever mention his collapse against Boston, his phantom elbow pain, and his steadfast refusal to hold himself accountable for his team's big-game failures."
While that was bad, Raab went next level in the next paragraph and openly wished for LeBron to get injured.
"For as long as I've been a fan, I've rooted hard against certain teams and players, but never have I hoped to see a career-ending injury — until tonight," Raab wrote about watching a Heat game.
Raab's petty attacks continued in the excerpt provided to Esquire.
"Only seventy-nine games to go until the playoffs, forty of them right here in Mojitoville, where the fans need an instructional manual to operate themselves, where the team fired its thirty-person season-ticket-sales staff after those tickets sold out in July, and where the owner's son takes a piss on his dead father's pant leg to make himself look like a macher," Raab wrote.
