LeBron James is a terrible friend

PrintAfter seeing LeBron's commercial for the 1,000th time last night... you know, the State Farm insurance one where his buddy's car gets broken into...
I finally realized last night why this commercial bothered me so much.
It's because LeBron James is a terrible, terrible friend!
Seriously... think about it.
1. His friend's car (a very nice car) gets broken into.
2. Instead of saying "aww, man, that sucks..." LeBron laughs at him!
3. When his friend bemoans that "they got everything"... LeBron ignores this and sees an opportunity to poke fun at his friend and harass him about his music tastes. In this particular instance, the artist at issue is Kid 'n Play.
LeBron totally broke the bro code here.
Furthermore, only after his friend has a break-in and realizes his lack of insurance coverage does LeBron inform his friend about his connections with State Farm. That's cold. A good friend would have hooked him up long before an incident like this.
And to top it off, while his friend is crying and trying to sort things out... LeBron starts dancing. And making goofy faces.
Yo, LeBron -- that's a d--k move. You owe your friend breakfast.

Terrible friend?
I kinda doubt LeBron wrote the script . . . and . . . it’s a commercial!!! It’s not like the guy is really LeBron’s friend or that the car really got broken into.
It’s FICTION!~~
haha he joined the blog just to post that
hey, thats one way to increase membership!
I am right though...
this commercial made LeBron look like a total dick.
Even if he has sweet Napoleon Dynamite-esque dance moves.
No no I agree.
I’m trying to imagine what I’d do to a friend of mine who made fun of my CDs while I sifted through the wreckage of my underinsured car. If it was LeBron I’d have to wait for my revenge – give him food poisoning or something…
It's fiction?!?!
Holy crap! I just sent a ton of hate mail to LeBron, poured out all of my vitamin water, switched to drinking Pepsi instead of Coke, cancelled my state farm policy, chunked my Nike’s over the fence, flushed my Gillette razors down the toilet, tore down all my King james posters, had Lebron’s tattooed name removed from my ass, and cancelled my cav’s season tickets.
Damnit bobdevo, why did you not tell me sooner!!!! WWWHHHHYYYYY!!!!!!!!
It takes a big man to walk away, but a bigger man to break his freaking jaw!
Frankly I don't like Lebron James
I used to, until I saw this commercial. How could you treat a friend like that?
And what’s worse is that Lebron made fun of his good friend (and I’ve heard from a source they are friends in real life) about liking Kid N Play but it’s freaking Lebron that knows how to do the Kid N Play dance. Seriously, how can you make fun of someone for liking something YOU obviously like.
What an ahole Lebron is

its not a dick move
its tha truth. he should not have a kid n play cd. that takes priority over anything else. and he did give him tha number to his state farm agent so he cant be that bad of a friend.
You're not foolin me Kerry Collins.
And again,
The inconsistency – LeBron KNOWS the KnP dance COLD. He didn’t even have to practice. So at one time LeBron LOVED KnP and learned their dance. But now that he’s a megastar, he’s too cool for it. Way to keep it real, “King James”.
Also, I’m pretty sure the insurance guy is going to say: “Well, the thing is, you pretty much have to have the insurance BEFORE the break in. It sort of goes against our business model to cover you now. Would you like to buy some insurance for the next time LeBron breaks into your car and steals your shit?”
it was a pretty popular dance
I’m sure alotta people know it. most people know tha Macarena but if u had friend that has that song a CD ur probably gonna bust his balls for it.
You're not foolin me Kerry Collins.
When you assume....
Maybe he’s just walking through the garage and walked over to see if the dude was ok. That would explain why he chose that moment to drop the insurance info on him. And the greeting as though they aren’t exactly best friends. And his casual, but not exactly empathetic, concern. And besides, if one of you found out some guy, buddy or not (but especially buddy), was all bout kid n play, are you saying you wouldn’t spend a few minutes busting on him.
but wouldn't a guy who just met LeBron
say something like “HOLY SHIT IT’S FREAKING LEBRON GODDAMN JAMES” ?
i bet you lebron broke into that car
lets wait until all the evidence is in, but lets look at the facts:
1. One of the guys who broke in was wearing a jacket. Lebron is wearing a jacket.
2. He picks up the CD. Dude, dont mess with a crime scene! Unless of course, he realizes he forgot to wear gloves, so he needs his friend see him pick the CD up because his fingerprints were ALREADY on it!
3. Instead of calling the cops, he “volunteers” his State Farm rep. In fact, he has the business card right in his front jacket pocket. How convenient?

This is hilarious.
