LeBron James Responds to 'Soulja Boy' DeShawn Stevenson

Mar 17th, 2008
Let's hope the Cavaliers and Wizards meet in the playoffs. Clearly, a rivalry is building that goes beyond James and Stevenson. Remember, a few months ago, Washington guard Gilbert Arenas used his blog to criticize Cleveland's front office for yo-yoing Larry Hughes' minutes ... LeBron James Responds to 'Soulja Boy' DeShawn StevensonMy Very Quick Take: The wait is over. LeBron James has officially responded to DeShawn Stevenson calling him “overrated” after Cleveland lost to Washington last Thursday.

All weekend, I was dying for James to hit back publicly. My readers were too. Well, today, the King said his piece to Branson Wright, a reporter with the Cleveland Plains Dealer.

"With DeShawn Stevenson, it's kind of funny. It's almost like Jay-Z [responding to a negative comment] made by Soulja Boy. It doesn't make sense."

Let’s hope the Cavaliers and Wizards meet in the playoffs. A rivalry is building between these teams that goes beyond James and Stevenson. Remember, a few months ago, Washington guard Gilbert Arenas used his blog to criticize Cleveland’s front office for yo-yoing Larry Hughes’ minutes.

Finally, I’m not saying anything about James comparing himself to friend Jay-Z, who is also a minority  owner with the Nets. It doesn’t add fuel to the James-to-New Jersey/Brooklyn fire that won’t go out.

It’s not like the King ever wore a navy New York hat to a Yankees-Indians playoff game, right?

LeBron James Responds to 'Soulja Boy' DeShawn Stevenson
Lebron is overrated. He is very cocky and arrogant. he knows he's good and he wans to show it. He could have responded more professionally and he would even receive more props from basketball fans. I can't stand when Lebron make a shot, he stares at people, thump his chest with his fist, or show his arrogant face to opponents. The worst part is when every game he throws some powder in the air from his palm to garner attention. You will never see Jordan or Magic do the same thing. They play basketball with passion not arrogance. Stevenson was right, Lebron is overrated.

Wha does he mean that it'sl like Jayz Z responding to Souljah Boy and it doesn't make sense. You see he is belittling Stevenson like Souljah boy and he is Jay Z. Man, I swear he is really very arrogant, and uneducated fans are buying this. When I watched Jordan, I saw professionalism and modesty. He said the right words and never belittle anybody like that, eventhough he has been criticize by many players like Thunder Dan, Barkley, Isiah Thomas, etc.

LeBron James Responds to 'Soulja Boy' DeShawn Stevenson
I am a Lebron fan, but I have to admit Stevenson has the right to say what he feels. He never said that Lebron sucks, he only said he is overratd. The media has overhyped Lebron a littl bit, especially when the East is really weak. If the Cavs was on the West, they will be 10 on the standings format, meaning, they will not make the playoffs. Regardless I like his game when he drives, but as far as overrated, I may agree with Stevenson. And frankly he did nothing wrong. He should'nt be attacked by Lebron fans just to be defensive about the truth. I mean, if we really ask ourselves, is Lebron overrated or just normal? Come on guys, face reality!

For also those people who are siding with Deshawn Stevenson..... who is he? He has a 8.9 point, 2.4 rebound, 1.9 assist career average. Been in the league 7 years out of high school. He wants to call lebron overated? 27pt, 7rb, and 6 ast. A night for 4 years. Only 4 people have a higher average in the history of the NBA. And he isn't even in his prime yet. I just wish LeBron would have gotten mad so he could drop 35pts., 13rbs.,13ast. on them...... Wait. he could do that not mad

hey OCTANE, nobody questions Lebron's ability to play basketball. Yes he is good! But what Stevenson said is not deragatory. He just said he is overrated. Did he lie or he doesnt deserve to say anything because he is below Lebron. Is Lebron God? If somebody says negative about him, they are saying bs? He is below 50% in the field goal percentage, meaning he miss more shots that he make. Jordan and Larry Bird, who were great scorers were 50% above in their careers, The East sucks and this allowed the Cavs to make the playoffs. If he was in the West, his Cavs would get beaten and not make the playoffs. I actually think even the Warriors are better than the Cavs. So OCTANE, is he overrated or he is being publicized modestly? Is he a humble player or does he overrate himself?

Hey you without a name. WHy are you comparing Lebron to Stevenson. You mean Stevenson cannot call Lebron overrated because Lebron is a better player? Yes, Lebron is a better player and the dumbest person in the world knows Stevenson is below him in playing basketball. The question is, is Lebron overrated? He is playing on the East and take too many shots, and misses more than he makes. Lebron will never be able to perform in the 90's the same way he is now. Stevenson lives in America, not in North Korea, so he can say anything he wants even if you feel that he is an inferior player to James. So please, don't be a suck up and side with Lebron just because you are his fan. Measure and analyze the issue and come up with a reason on why Lebron was called overrated on whether if it is not true or really true.

Being from Japan, we value modesty from our young athletes. I use to watch Larry and Michael and even Magic or Isiah talk trash, but they never were arrogant like today's players. Lebron is too proud of himself. I am now keeping my distance as a fan and look for players who have the ability to stay true to the game. Lebron James is an overrated player like Stevenson said. He is already getting comparisons to Jordan, which to me is ridiculous. If we ask all honest and profesional fans if he is overrated, I would say 90% would say he is. Stevenson may be below Lebron as a player, but he is not a liar.

I am sure some fans here will post that Stevenson is taking garbage and defend Lebron. Also some uninformed and uneducated fans will say he is a better player and that Stevenson is a nobody compare to Lebron. That to me is already pathetic. The argument here is that whether what Stevenson said, which he has every right to speak regardless if he is a janitor on the MCI center or the owner of the Wizards, is reality. Those people here that spoke off to categorize Lebron as cocky and overrated are real educated and honest basketball fans.

alright what happen last year in the finals. Pistons were allowing 91 ppg which is ridiculous. Easily top three in league. He simply put his team on his back and carried them to the win. He scored the last 25 points. Most of them with atleast two pistons on him. I'm not calling him jordan or magic or bird. They are the gods of basketball, but he is going to go down as one of the greatest to ever play

Stevenson has the right to say anything he wants, even if he is "inferior" to LBJ. The thing is: basket players talk a lot of trash these days outside the court. I don't think that's a proof of professionalism. LBJ is a great player, probably one of the best in the league today, but I don't that he should have said that Jay-Z - Soulya Boy thing. That's not something a superstar should say. That really makes you look arrogant and cocky, comparing yourself to one of the big rappers today. So I think LBJ should have beaten Stevenson on court, instead of "humiliating" him. That's what a "superstar" should do. But heck; it's a mans game. The sort of things happen and by seeing how many people respond to suck an fued, you can see that a lot of people love this game.

OCTANE, why should he be arrogant? He can be confident but arrogant is a different level. You mean it's mature for him to belittle people. During the USA Basketball camp, according to the San Antonio Express News, Bowen told Lebron to stop ordering people around and atleast call and remember their first names. This was the first time I saw how James was so arrogant. I mean I cant believe you enjoy this OCTANE, you want someone to be arrogant and people belittiling others just because they have superior status. Any educated and well bred people would disagree with that.

Hey Nico, you got that right man! Lebron is overrated and he is very cocky. It is wrong the way he tries to humuliate Stevenson by saying he is much more superior and that "it is funny" the way it would be Stevenson who would said it. I mean even if it comes from Kobe, Duncan, or Garnett, superstars in his level, or to the last man on the bench, people have the right to say their opinion and not be attack just because they say something negative to someone who is considered a better player. Octane, I agree with you on only one thing, Tupac is the best rapper ever, not jay Z, but Lebron, I am certain, meant that Jay Z is higher than Souljah Boy that is why he said it to suck up to his friend Jay Z. And to the gu, whoever that is without a screen name, please Lebron is overhyped by the media. Their have ben many players before that are more accomplished than him, but never got the attention. LEBRON IS OVERRATED PERIOD!

Lebron is not second to MJ, Mr Octane. There are many great players above Lebron who have won big games, and that is the most important, such as WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. Larry Bird, Wilt, Kobe, Duncan, Kareem, Magic, and many more are all better than Lebron their first 5 years in the league. For instance, Duncan can easily average 30 and 13 a night if he wants to, but he plays to win and allow his teammates to get the opportunity. He takes less shots but his field goal percentage is always above 50% his whole career, except one year when he suffered from plantar fascitis and miss plenty of games. Lebron wants statistics that is why he is not in the same level as DUncan, who actually finish college, eventhough as a sophomore had already been offered big money by the NBA, and rejected a $55 million 2 year extension that he was suppose to get with the Spurs and instead accepted $40 million. He would have been the highest paid played in the NBA bit instead he sacrificed himself so the Spurs may not pass the salary cap and able to sign more free agents. Lebron will not sacrifice his statistics or money, that is why he went straight from high school to the NBA. Man, i have been watching basketball for 27 years now, and I have never seen a more overrated player than him.

Hey Octane, Magic and Duncan won a championship, before and during the age of 23. They were the man on their respective teams. The only problem was they would'nt dunk or have highlights like Lebron, since he is pampered by the media just like Barack Obama. But you are wrong Octane, Lebron is not better than Larry, Magic, or Duncan. You, just like most of his bias fans, are overrating him when he has not won a single championship nor a season MVP or Finals MVP. By the way, Lebron, sucks as a defender, and his jumpshots will make the Cavs lose many games. Moreover, his selfishness and ego will only be a barrier to his success. As of now at 23, Duncan and Magic and even Kobe have been more successful than him because they won a championship before or at the age of 23.

At the age of 23, Duncan have won a championship, second place in MVP voting, Finals MVP, All Star MVP, averaged 24 points, almost 13 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 1 steal per game, and shooting 50% from the field. He was also an All NBa first team and all NBA defense first. He was third in Defesive of the Year votes. So Octane please do not say he is better than Tim Ducan at the age of 23. I know Duncan is not as cocky or dunks the basketball and shows off to the media, but it doesn't mean he is less accomplished than Lebron. All GM knows that Duncan at the age of 23 was better, and if any GM were to be ask who would they chose, the would chose Duncan easily. Props to Stevenson for telling the truth, Lebron is one of the most overrated figures in sports history.

I mean if Duncan, Kobe, Garnett, or Nash said Lebron is overrated, they would not be attack as much as Stevenson. Professional and mature people in this debate should respect Stevenson's right to say what he feels its true. And, yes he did said the truth. Lebron is a damn overrated player.

I knew all along that a Lebron fan would comment about his money, his skills, as if people who have less money than him are not allowed to say anything negative because he is a "superior" human being than people who makes less money. I don't have millions or fame like Lebron but does not make me any less human being than him. G Bow, you are an uncivilized and uneducated person who is a big suck up to materialism and your God idol like Lebron. The topic here is whether Lebron is overrated or not. How pathetic and shallow are your comments. I am an educated individual and would never look down at people just because they haev less status or less money. People here voiced their opinion and the majority from page 1 to page 3 agreed he is overrated. Just because we may not have the money, does not mean we dont have rights. At least we are civilized and educated enough to know we do have rights and we tell the truth about your God Lebron.

PRofessor, I agree with you. People here are obsessed with Lebron because of his basketball skills, which there is nothing wrong. But they fail to realize the subject of the debate here. Nobody says Lebron is not a better player, even the Kobe, Wade, or Duncan fans will honestly tell you he is good. But the question that lingers is is he an overrated player? The answer is yes. He is 23 and did stats that are impressive, but those stats will be non existent let say if he play for the Pistons or Spurs because people play like a team. Plus at 23, Duncan and Kobe won championships, and their stats were as impressive as Lebron, except they actually played in the western conference where the challenge is by far elevated. The botton line here is Lebron stepped over the line by suggesting his superiority over Stevenson, that to me is very cocky, and at the same time, the media and his obsessed fans worship him for being a shallow person, that to me ladies and gentlem, is OVERRATED.

I know somehow G Bow you will bag on Kobe. Kobe was overrated when he was 23, and so is Lebron. Now I think Kobe deserves his dues for pushing the Lakers on top of the Western Conference, which we all know, Lebron cant even do that in the East. Regardless of the debate, Lebron is by far more overrated than Kobe. Also, I have never said that I was obsessed with lebron's skills, I just think he is a great player, but he is very much overhyped by the media. By the way, players play ball games to win one thing, not the MVP nor anything else, that is to win the RING my friend. G Bow, i know you may have a lot of money but would think people who brag about it are unprofessional? I am not calling you that my friend, I am calling Lebron.

Jesus! Trying to read "Gbow's" postings is like reading my 2 year olds writings. The one thing I read that he wrote is certainly obvious - - there's no question you didn't go to high school!Oh, & by the way - - Lebron is over-hyped & over-rated? You two are numbskulls! I suppose Tiger is just on a lucky streak! Get a friggin clue you two!!!

Alright let me write a little bit more clear for yous...IM AM NOT A LBJ NOR AM I A KOBE FAN AT ALL...LBJ is nothing but power anyhow that can easily force his way to the hoop...Kobe has more skills but doesnt have the ability to put up the all around stats lbj does...and kobe wouldnt be at the top or near if they hadnt got gasol or the way bynum was producing when he un injured...but yea what kobe has done with that team from last year to this year is impressive...i aint going to bag on anyone if there good except maybe a garnett or somebody as big as loser as him and overrated like him...yea some play to win rings some are just fine with there big contracts and that shows from time to time

Then G bow are we in an agreement that Lebron is overrated? I think Americans will soon realize how arrogant and how spoiled he is by the media. He reminds me of Brack Obama, being spoiled by MSNBC.

The main thing overrated on this board is championships. If championships made players great, Robert Horry would be a superstar. Teams win championships, not players. What makes LeBron great is that he takes the Cavs as far as he does with pretty much no help.

Yall are all stupid..none of yall are nba analysts so shut the hell up...Lebron is not overated.. All of the analysts say he is not just read there articles. He is known as the 2nd best player in the league behind Kobe. Even Gilbert Arenas said that himself. Stevenson is just talking trash, duh there in intense battle right now. He can say watever the hell he wants. Lebron knows that because he stop replying to all of the bs Stevenson says because the media blows up on everything he said.

This is a response to Bulls Fan. The reason no one ever called MJ "King MJ" is because there was never a King MJ in history. Haha."King James" is a play on his name, involving King James of the "King James Bible" fame. To the editor, nice point about Lebron wearing the NY hat to the Indians/Yankees game. Surprisingly, I never heard anything about that.. Wow. James is good, but after the Cavs beat the Wizards, they're gonna get hurt by the big 3 in Boston anyways. The buck stops there, IMHO.

As extra evidence that he's overrated, look at LBJ's performance in game 1 vs. the Celtics. It's one of the worst in playoff history! Yeah Paul Pierce and Ray Allen also sucked but keep they're 2/3 of the "Big Three" and not "King" James. How some of you guys don't see how overrated LBJ is blows my mind, starstruck I guess.. I'll admit he's got skills and will likely become a future great but right now, this year, hell no. He's just been hyped up so much and put on this pedestal since the day he was drafted. Look.. he's inconsistent at the free throw, flaky on defense, and can't handle clutch. Cavs will NOT beat the Celtics. Maybe after he wins a couple rings, then we'll talk, until then he's just the next Vince Carter.
