In LeBron James’ latest Nike commercial, the superstar asks, “What should I do?”
It appears that James is playing the villain while he waits for the answer.
The former Cleveland Cavalier sent out a tweet during the Los Angels Lakers’ 112-57 rout of his former team that has caused quite a stir.
“Crazy. Karma is a b****. Gets you every time. It’s not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!”
LeBron never specifically references his old employers, but the implication isn’t hard to see. James has publicly feuded with Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, who posted a particularly pointed letter about James’ departure on the team’s website following the All-Star’s “decision.”
The Akron, Ohio, native’s taunting tweet is the least of the Cavaliers’ problems at the moment.
It’s the 11th loss in a row for the free-falling Cavs, whose record now stands at an NBA-worst 8-30, giving them the unenviable honor of being the first to team reach 30 losses this season. That’s probably tough to take, especially considering that last season they were the first to reach 30 wins.
Oh, how times change.
The Cavs shot just 30 percent and committed 19 turnovers against the Lakers at the Staples Center, losing for the 21st time in their last 22 games.
“It can’t be any worse than this,” Antawn Jamison told ESPN.com. “If it is, someone will have to help me because I don’t know how much of this I can take.”
The 57 points Cleveland scored are the fewest points the Cavs have scored in a game in franchise history. It’s also the fewest the Lakers have allowed in the shot-clock era.
The loss prompted Cleveland guard Mo Williams to tweet, “I feel like I can’t even show my face in Cleve.”
