Must Read: ESPN Writer Documents His Times Partying With LeBron in Las Vegas

[Marty McFly]

Sounds pretty similar to my time in Vegas. Except there were less dudes at my party.

Wow, so Lebron likes to party? Big deal

Story pulled by ESPN.

I don't think people realize what a big deal this is. Not for Lebron, but for ESPN (although the Lebron part is a pretty sad commentary on professional athletes). ESPN has a huge investment in the NBA. They pay the NBA a lot of money to televise the games. It appears that ESPN was trying not to offend its business partner. The only problem with this is, they are a news organization. They have to report it how it is and can't show a bias.

In review, ESPN sucks.

I agree. This article [LINK] by the ESPN Ombudsman discusses this exact issue in regard to "The Decision", another example of the organisation pandering to an individual at the expense of its integrity.

Here's the full article, wasn't just 3 short paragraphs apparently.

James seems mildly retarded - but so what. He's wrapped in a world of people who jump over each other to kiss his ***. He's obviously lost any frame of reference for interacting with people or in public in general.

Like someone said earlier he's acting like the Big Shot that he is. If this is what he wants to do with his millions then God bless. The only story is what a bunch of ******* ESPN are for pulling this mostly mundane article.

You think the Endless Self Promoting Network is a news organization?
