Cleveland Strip Clubs: Caught in the Web: Looking at how LeBron James’ announcement affects the Lakers
… LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IF YOU’LL PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO THE JUMBO TRON.”
Then seeing my face on the Screen:
“Babe, we’ve been together now for seven great years and you have shown me an awesome amount of support and loyalty, you’ve made me feel like a “King”, so I think it’s only right that I repay you for all that you’ve done. I know that we’re great together…
(Pause for effect)
“BUT… I don’t feel that I can be happy with you anymore so I’ve decided to leave you for Dee Dee and Christy, you know, the two hot Strippers that live down the block. They promised me that all my fantasies will come true… So, um, that’s all… Good Luck with the rest of your life.”
Cleveland Strip Clubs: 2010 Free Agents: Much ado about nothing, but Lebron.
… Maybe it was inevitable considering the people he calls advisers. Most players have had some sort of a wiser father figure to provide a second opinion. Sometimes it literally is their father Ya know, someone older than say 25.
Peyton Manning has Archie Manning. John Elway had his father Jack. Magic Johnson will tell you about Earvin Johnson Sr. If that weren’t enough, he had a close relationship with savvy businessman and Laker Owner Jerry Buss. Michael Jordan had his father and Shaq had the sarge (although it didn’t seem to help Shaq so much). The list goes on…
Lebron has a bunch of morons his own age. Apparently someone calling himself “World Wide Wes” provides Lebron with pearls of wisdom. No one told Lebron anyone calling himself “WWW” in a business meeting is the tantamount to introducing yourself by your stripper name. Lebron would have been better off hiring someone who plays a businessman on TV.
Cleveland Strip Clubs: David Moulton: LeBron didn’t handle leaving right — no surprise when it comes …
NAPLES The Baltimore Colts left town in the middle of the night.
Rudy Guiliani ended his marriage to Donna Hanover at an impromptu press conference on a Manhattan street corner.
New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, with his wife by his side, announced he was resigning and he was gay.
Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell flew to Baltimore, took a football team with him, and never came back.
Yet I’m not sure if those oldies but goodies compare to “The Decision.”
Now if Tiger Woods held a press conference last Thanksgiving in bed with a stripper on each side of him, announcing that he was leaving his wife, that would have come close.
Close.
But still would not have sunk to the level that LeBron James did.
Because LBJ managed to combine aspects of all of those breakups into one primetime special.
Cleveland Strip Clubs: LeBron James, ESPN to Air "The Decision": Obnoxious Summer of Me Reaches Climax
Once he graduated to the professional ranks, the exposure has only gotten wider and more voluminous.
The guy could quite literally spend his every waking nanosecond on a television interview circuit.
If he were so inclined, I’m sure one of the networks would give him his own show to do whatever he damn well pleased—ESPN would probably give him the Sportscenter desk if he asked.
I promise you my man can’t walk down any city street without drawing a crowd of back-slappers and well-wishers.
So how much adulation and adoration is enough?
More ominously, what happens if the Chosen One doesn’t get it?
To me, this almost psychotic need for attention screams of personal insecurity that registers a staggering magnitude.
We’re talking self-esteem issues that would make a coked-out stripper/escort whose step-father had boundary issues count her psychological blessings.
Cleveland Strip Clubs: King James and Other Small Things
With the LeBronathon in full swing, attention must be paid to King James in all media until the tension is alleviated by the man himself during his hourlong prime-time extravaganza Thursday night. And City Room is no exception.
But despite valiant — if perhaps less than convincing — efforts by many in the city, including Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, to attract the N.B.A.’s most coveted free agent, indications are that Mr. James will forgo the bright lights of our big city.
The online betting market Intrade.com registered a steep rise in trading for LeBron-Goes-to-the-Knicks on Wednesday night, only to watch that stock fall precipitously this morning as ESPN.com leaked news that the star was “leaning” toward Miami.
Further uptown, though, one business appeared well ahead of the curve. Sapphire New York, an Upper East Side strip club, had its LeBron mural painted over on Wednesday in an apparent nod to yet another inevitable local basketball disappointment.

NYC Strip Club Bribes LeBron James With Mural
If LeBron James joins the Knicks, Sapphire Gentlemen’s Club in New York City will be the athlete’s own personal playground.

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash – FlashNews) One NYC strip club is painting a pretty picture of what LeBron James life could be like if he joins the Knicks.
Sapphire Gentlemens Club in New York has jumped aboard the bribery bandwagon to get James to play basketball for the Big Apple.
Theyve just painted a huge, seven-foot mural of James face on the front of their building to let him know that its basically his for the taking if he signs with the Knicks.
Sapphire New York VP Michael Wright says King James will be treated like royalty at the gentlemens club, with free VIP service, food, and tableside dances for life.

Cleveland Strip Clubs: Bold idea: Give King three rein
… For three years — or as long as you allow Mike D’Antoni to coach the team — imagine how much fun you will have playing in his madcap offensive system.
“That first year you wouldn’t even have to deliver a championship, because that first year will be a honeymoon year. There actually will be more pressure on you in Cleveland, which thought last year was the year.
“I heard some radio talk recently about your alleged aversion to Tabloid Central here. I trust you’ve chatted with A-Rod about this, because the two of you count Warren Buffett among your filthy-rich friends. A-Rod wasn’t Jeter, wasn’t Mr. October, wasn’t wearing a shirt in Central Park, wasn’t steroid-free, wasn’t happy on the road without a stripper — and had his life plastered all over the New York Post, front page and backpage.
Cleveland Strip Clubs: What’s On: Betty White Dates a Legend
Betty White’s got a hot date on Hot in Cleveland tonight, and he’s a face you’ll recognize from, oh, the 60 years he’s spent in the industry. He’s not Sid Caesar or Dick Van Dyke, but he knows both of those living legends well. And no, it’s not Rose Marie. That’s a woman, guys. Just click ahead.
In Plain Sight [USA, 10 PM]
Mary attempts to protect the priest who witnessed a stripper’s murder (a storyline that reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock’s I Confess), but the priest has his own obsessive plans to help save another stripper. And in a dramatic turn, Stan tells a dead witness’s daughter the truth behind her father’s disappearance. Three seasons in, and this show is still underrated.
