LeBron James responded to Kendrick Perkins' comments, in which the Oklahoma City Thunder big man lashed out against the Heat star for a tweet. LeBron didn't apologize and, really, why should he? The tweet was seemingly innocent -- James was impressed by Blake Griffin viciously dunking on Perkins -- and said the same thing most of America was saying at the time.
However, within the story about LeBron's response is this fun quote (emphasis mine).
"I'm an easy target; if someone wants to get a point across -- just throw Lebron's name in there," James said. "You could be watching cartoons with your kids and you don't like it, you say, 'Blame it on LeBron.' If you go to the grocery store and they don't have the milk that you like, you just say, 'It's LeBron's fault.' "
Gas costs too much? LeBron's fault. Stub your toe? LeBron's fault. Can't find the remote? LeBron's fault again!
Everything's coming up LeBron('s fault).

Foot In Mouth Disease
Has there ever been an athlete in the history of sports who just sticks their foot all the way down their own throat on a daily basis? James is an all world talent with a ten cent brain. He must be the most unlikable athlete I have seen in my 50 years of observing sports. Someone needs to tell him to just shut up and play. When he opens his mouth, disaster awaits.

I don't think that LeBron said anything questionable here.
There are times he seems to lack awareness of how what he says will be perceived, but there are a lot of dumb criticisms of LeBron..
