DeShawn Stevenson Wants to Fight LeBron
After a Cavs’ loss to the Washington Wizards DeShawn Stevenson said of LeBron James, “He’s overrated. And you can say I said that.” Apparently he and LeBron had been jawing on the court since the opening tip of the game. The Cavs had a chance to win, but LeBron missed a game-winning three pointer and the Cavs lost by two… in Washington… on the second night of a back to back after playing the previous night in New Jersey… After embarrassing Washington by beating them with a starting five of LeBron James, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Devin Brown, Damon Jones and Eric Snow in Cleveland after the big trade. I guess I might be salty too if my team couldn’t beat a team made up of also-rans and NBDL’ers the way the Cavs were on the night that they embarrassed the Wizards in Cleveland.
But I guess that would lead one to understand just how LeBron James isn’t overrated in any way shape or form. And certainly such criticisms ring hollow when they come spewing out of the mouth of a player like DeShawn Stevenson who never lived up to the hype like the target of his criticism.
Just like LeBron, Stevenson skipped out on college to enter the NBA. Unlike LeBron, Stevenson couldn’t get his career going between his off-the-court problems including charges of statutory rape for an incident allegedly involving a 14-year-old girl when he was 20, and his splintered ass from not being able to find his way off of an NBA bench, he is probably quite jealous of The King. Maybe it was the sweep that LeBron and company hung on the Wizards in last year’s playoffs?
Either way, despite the victory that the Wizards put up on the Cavs the other night, it is safe to say that DeShawn Stevenson is still LeBron’s bitch. And by the way, whenever someone says any variation of, “And you can quote me on that” after their quote, they even know they are full of shit.
