Miami Heat star LeBron James has been backtracking an awful lot lately. After expressing an interesting in the NBA contracting, only then to profess his ignorance on the meaning of the word, James is at it again. As the Cavaliers suffered a humiliating 112-57 drubbing at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers, James tweeted the following:
“Crazy. Karma is a b****. Gets you every time. It’s not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!”
But when pressed the following day to explain the motivation behind the tweet, James began to backpedal.
“It’s just how I was feeling at the time,” James said. “It wasn’t even a comment from me, it was someone who sent it to me and I sent it out. It wasn’t toward that team. It definitely wasn’t a good showing by that team last night, I know they wish they would’ve played better.”
There was no indication that the message was a retweet, so the excuse that it was from someone else is hard to swallow. James then contended that everyone needs to stop analyzing his words.
“I think everyone looks into everything I say,” he lamented. “Everybody looks too far into it. No hit toward that organization. I’ve moved on and hopefully that organization is continuing to move on. But I’m happy where I am as a Miami Heat player.”
Word of advice to James: If you understand that your every word will be parsed, a good idea would be to think before you speak … or in this case, tweet. –djr
