LeBron James Forgot He Is Rich

July 08, 2010 - Greenwich, CONNECTICUT, United States - epa02241974 Handout photo from ESPN showing LaBron James (L), NBA's reigning two-time MVP, as he ends months of speculation and announces 08 July 2010 on ESPN 'The Decision' in Greenwich, Connecticut, USA, that he will go to the Miami Heat where he will play basketball next 2010-11 season. James said his decision was based on the fact that he wanted to play with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

Evidently LeBron James doesn't feel he gets paid enough to play on
holidays.

LeBron James isn't happy about playing on Christmas Day.

"If you ask any player in the league, we’d rather be home with our families," James said. "I think the people that even set the games up would rather be home with their family during this day. It’s not just a regular holiday. It’s definitely one of those days that you wish you could wake up in the morning with the kids and open up presents."

Wait a second LeBron, isn't there a reason you make some $20 million per season?

Did you forget so quickly that you are paid all of that money to entertain the masses?

I'm sorry, but there is zero sympathy for you, your family, and your kids on this, especially after you just got done buying a $9 million mansion on South Beach.

Do you think you could do that on a $35,000 a year salary?

If you didn't play on Christmas, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, Kwanza, Veterans Day, Presidents Day, and Easter you wouldn't be rich and have a sweet shoe contract with Nike that pays for the gifts your kids "unfortunately" have to open on Christmas Eve.

It must be rough for your kids.

If you want Christmas off, void your contract, quit the NBA, and go work in a steel mill back in Akron with those fans you deserted this past summer.

Don't think about getting a better job than that, because 9.8% of America is unemployed and you don't have a college education.

Here is some advice LeBron; grow up, play basketball, win games, and keep your mouth shut. You don't earn your paycheck by spatting off about how rough your life is.

Everyone in the world would trade their life to be 6 foot 8 inches tall with a 40 inch vertical leap and the natural strength of a tight end.

If some of us had that much god given talent, we may have won an NBA Championship by now.

And we probably wouldn't complain about playing on Christmas.
