LeBron James is not human…and other things

Last summer, the ATB crew had some mixed opinions on LeBron James. I thought that he had made a mistake and been partially redeemed based on his play last year (and even more so his play this year) Shaun…still hated him. There was one thing that all of us, even Chris, had in common: Lebron is insanely talented and there are things that he can do that no one else can even come close.
This made some people dislike him even more somehow. People wanted to see LeBron’s talents, and he teased us even more when last month he tweeted “Dunk Contest?” a week before the All Star game. Of course, he was just teasing, but that teasing isn’t anything compared to this type of tease:


Yes, That’s LeBron in pregame warm ups  throwing a ball from underneath his legs, off the backboard and dunking it. Quite possibly the greatest out of game dunk that’s ever been pulled off. If you put this dunk against Jordan’s free throw line dunk or Vince Carter’s “hanging from the rim by his elbow” dunk against this one, it’d blow it away.
So now we know the real reason that he didn’t participate in the dunk contest: he’s not human. Had he actually competed against mere little humans like James White or Terrence Ross, he wouldn’t have been able to control his competitive instincts and would have ended up dunking from half court like Michael Jordan in Space Jam or dunking in each hoop across the court on one jump.
So thanks for not competing in the dunk contest LeBron, I don’t think humanity is ready to know that there is other types of life here on Earth.

As you’ll see in tomorrow’s show, I’m a bit sick, I get loopy when I’m sick, so here’s some other loopy thoughts:

  • I hate Corporate America sometimes.
  • I love the person that invented the DVR. Greatest invention ever? It’s pretty close.
  • This new craze of putting this type of picture on Facebook:

I would hope that everyone would get an answer within 3 seconds.
Is really annoying. Not so much that inherently it’s stupid, but the fact that it’s easy. I bet you thought of one in 3 seconds right?

Til next week America!
