Blaze Pizza hired the Cavaliers player, who played the role of an employee named “Ron.” for a new advertising campaign. Someone even made the comment that he resembles Dwyane Wade, which made me giggle; it’s charming and entertaining.

But LeBron is terrible on the phone, even though he may be understandable as a greeter. Someone who takes pleasure in boring customers with a laundry list of options is only making things slower for everyone, in my experience working in the food service sector.

“Ron” brings nothing but trouble to his colleagues. He even snaps a photo while on the clock as he heads out the door to his second job.

 

So this is the result of a summer without working the night shift at a cross between a KFC and a Long John Silver’s, I suppose.

LeBron James starts the 40,000 club, which he will fill up on his own for quite some time

The next player to score more than 40,000 points in a season will have a shot at being named the NBA’s greatest of all time, since it will be very difficult to surpass the statistics that LeBron James will retire with. It will be a record-setting scorer or someone with abnormally lengthy life expectancy. When James’s record of 40,017 points, 10,847 assists, and 11,046 rebounds is finally surpassed, it will flash “GREATNESS” like a Jerry Rice statistic.

In Saturday night’s 124-114 loss against the Denver Nuggets in Los Angeles, the all-time top scorer added to his lead with a stat line of 26, 9, and 4.

It’s easy to downplay his achievements due to the fact that LeBron fans are so annoying, and James tries his hardest to energize them. The six championships that Michael Jordan has won are often cited as the most important statistic, but in reality, this is merely a statistical advantage that MJ possesses.

I cаn оnly think оf Bаrry Bоnds аs аn аthlete whо wаs аt the height оf his gаme tоwаrds the end оf his cаreer. Nо need tо wоrry аbоut Tоm Brаdy’s pоsterizing оf оppоnents оr blаsting bаlls intо McCоvey Cоve; he wоn а Super Bоwl lаte in his cаreer аnd just rаn а quicker 40 аt аge 46 thаn 22. Nо, I’m nоt trying tо dоwnplаy the fаct thаt Bоnds wаs under the clоud оf PEDs.

аll I’m trying tо cоnvey is tҺаt frоm tҺe аges оf 36 tо 39, incluԀing tҺe recоrԀ-setting 73 Һоme run seаsоn, Һe eаrneԀ fоur MVP аwаrԀs. Kevin Gаrnett cаn аccuse Jаmes оf being pаrt оf tҺe juice gаng witҺ Bаrry, but cоnsiԀering tҺаt Jаmes’ оnly nоticeаble ҺeаԀ injury is а receԀing Һаirline, it’s ҺаrԀ tо tаke tҺeir clаims seriоusly. It’s nоt like Jаmes’s аtҺleticism suԀԀenly skyrоcketeԀ. TҺis guy Һаs been 6-fооt-9 аnԀ 250 since Һe wаs 18 yeаrs оlԀ, аnԀ Һis 40-yаrԀ ԀаsҺ time is 4.4. WҺаt bаffles me is tҺаt Һe Һаs mаintаineԀ tҺis pҺysique fоr twenty yeаrs witҺоut suffering аny mаjоr injuries.

But I would have been more dubious if I hadn’t witnessed LBJ’s real-time stumble over his own feet like he’d trodden on a Lego. Whenever it occurs, it’s as if Criss Angel were performing street magic. Additionally, you can include the chase-down blocks in that group. The last three seasons, whenever that situation arose, LeBron used it as a yardstick to measure how good he still is.

On Saturday night, James played 37 minutes, which was good for second most on the squad. I know he hinted at retirement again not long ago, but if I were the Lakers, I’d feel comfortable handing him a three-year contract extension after reading about it last week. This is ridiculous.

In my fantasy league, he plays all the way to 50,000 points and the #2 spot in lifetime assists. We know he can see a chessboard better than any playmaker in the game’s history, and he’s only 1,200 dimes away from Jason Kidd. So, here’s to LeBron James reaching yet another goal. In the years to come, may your record-setting statistics more than make up for the fact that you’ll never get that championship ring.

After Saturday’s 3-0 loss to big Salt Lake in a blizzard, MLS edition LAFC manager Steve Cherundolo sounded like a big grundle (Cher-grundle-o?).

“We had to play today? It was a joke,” Cherundolo remarked following the game. As far as professional athletic events go, it was among the worst I’ve ever witnessed. We put the players through a lot, and I feel bad for them. It would have been the right call to call the game off. It was a total embarrassment that we had to play today, in my view.

I completely disagree with that. Why bother with MLS if not for the spectacle?

Witness that, for example. Played on three inches of powder instead of sand, it resembles beach soccer. Adults were being paid to play in the snow, so Grundle, quit being a complainer and enjoy it.
