So LeBron did a podcast with JJ knowing they were going to be put out in the first round and Ham was going to lose his job? Lol. Just because someone said something doesn’t mean it’s worth repeating

Steven A is implying LeBron is selfish and not looking out for the brothers. News flash, no brothers are looking out for another. Including Steven A. So don’t be preaching none of that BS. We are all looking out for ourselves first and foremost. Again, I believe LeBron has no previous relationship with Ham. Therefore he does not owe him anything

SAS can’t stop himself from bringing race into the show. If he doesn’t then he can’t think of a take.

I hope they give Tim Legler, JJ`s old job. Or just rehire Jeff and Mark.
