Round Three: Analyzing DeShawn Stevenson’s Latest Crack On LeBron JamesMarch 20 08  My Quick Take: Somewhere, boxing godfather Don King and wrestling promoter Vince McMahon are smiling. After all, DeShawn Stevenson and LeBron James have traded quips like prize fighters or WWE characters before a big match. For those living under a rock, Stevenson called James “overrated” after Thursday’s Wizards-Cavaliers game. On Monday, The King went hip-hop with his response, comparing his situation with Stevenson to Jay-Z beefing with Soulja Boy. Well, round three hit today. Stevenson came back hard to Washington Post insiders Michael Lee and Ivan Carter: "I hope we play Cleveland," Stevenson said. "I’m going to get Soulja Boy courtside seats and have him wear a DeShawn Stevenson jersey. Maybe (James) can have Jay-Z there since LeBron’s all on his (shorts) anyway."
Stevenson wasn’t done.
"And tell LeBron to cut that beard off and stop copying me."
These two have personal issues. Lee and Carter reported on their blog that James recently bad-mouthed Stevenson to former teammate Drew Gooden. Of course, Gooden ran James’ comments back to Stevenson, which probably contributed to the post getting traded from Cleveland to Chicago at the deadline.
Hopefully, the Wizards and Cavaliers meet in the playoffs because bad blood makes for entertaining basketball. Like I said, King and McMahon must be smiling.

Argentina will win the gold again
on 03.20.2008 | As a baller from Argentina, we have grown to admire the American greats such as Michael Jordan, Magic, and Larry. However, Lebron is a different case, because I cannot stand the way he proudly demonstrate himself in front of the media. People tend to overrate Lebron. I want to see Manu and Scola beat Lebron’s US team once again, because my country plays like a team, while Team USA, although I believe is the best team, lack the chemistry because of self centered Lebron James. . | Posted by
Asians can play basketball
on 03.20.2008 | Lebron is kinda showing off by saying that he is Jay Z and he is higher than Stevenson who is Souljah Boy. I think this arrogance by Lebron will backfire on him, because many fans will turn against him. The media would probably love this, because they will profit from his arrogance. As far as what Stevenson said, he has a point. Even before Lebron averaged 30 7 and 6, he was already overrated in HS and even during his rookie year, which he should have lost it to Carmelo, because Carmelo had better stats, more wins, and his team made the playoffs. The media should stop kissing Lebron’s feet as if he is the king of all basketball. Hey Lebron, what happened against the Spurs in the FInals? . | Posted by
KOBE RULES
on 03.20.2008 | HAHA. That was a funny joke Chi Town Baller! It is obvious that Jay Z is a big suck up to Lebron instead of measuring the issue of the debate here. I’m sorry man, I dont mean it personal, but you do sound like a suck up more than a real fan of the game. LEBRON IS OVERRATED AND ALL TRUE BASKETBALL FANS KNOW IT. STEVENSON IS NOT ONLY RIGHT, WHAT HE SAID IS PERCECT. The Lakers will win the championship this year and I can’t wait for Kobe to shove it in cocky Lebron’s face because he deserives it. . | Posted by
My Rockets are on fire
on 03.20.2008 | Lebron needs to shut his mouth. I have never seen a more cocky and overrated player in my generation. By reading some of the comments here and the other commentary on the previous article by Oly Sandor, it seems that real basketball fans with a fair knowledge of the game, are now realizing how overrated and arrogant this guy is. Stevenson did the right thing by saying what was on his mind. We all should appreciate his honesty. Lets Go Rockets! . | Posted by
Mean Green Celtics
on 03.20.2008 | I think it is not Lebron who is at fauly here for being called an overrated player. I think it is the media. I mean they advertise him as if he won the championship, mvp, or as if he is the next Michael Jordan. This is bs out of bs. But i have to agree with most of the guys here, especially Chi town and the professor, Lebron is very arrogant, and it is time for him to start acting like a professional, the same likes as great ballers before him. . |
