Has there ever been a hint of scandal around LeBron?

I wonder whether DHs get bored during games. That’s a lot of innings sitting around with little to do. If I were the Dodgers there’s little chance I would have him in the outfield. Pitch? Absolutely.

I think "The Decision" was the closest thing he's had to a scandal.

I have no clue, but I would guess tons of people attend these parties without participating in any of the sleazy shit going on, and maybe it doesn't even start until the main party is over. I'd be shocked out of my senses if LeBron was involved.

Yeah, same here. He seems hyper-aware of how things might affect his image.

NFW is he going to mess with drugs IMO, and certainly not in a public setting. And if he wanted some action on the side, it sure as hell wouldn't be with some sex worker with 100 people bearing witness. Just my opinion.

yah I guess they may keep it quiet, superstars are usually untouchable and find their way out of trouble, whereas a non superstar would be kicked off the team.

Similar to how Kobe Bryant and Ben Rothlisberger both raped women and it got buried and not talked about. They were too valuable to their teams and their leagues.

So yah you may be right if Lebron was there and witnessed or participated in they may give him the superstar treatment.

What possible reason is there, at this point, to suspect LeBron of anything improper? I would guess countless celebs were at these parties, are they all guilty? Come on.

What possible reason? Are you kidding? He's attended numerous Diddy parties. If he witnessed or participated he is guilty. I know you are like the many who can't fathom their "hero's" could do something wrong. And just deny deny deny.

But for now he is innocent so it's really a dead topic until more comes out, but to deny due to his unblemished image. Are you his friend? You know him via the TV and Computer. Maybe he's innocent and maybe he isn't.

It appears that James spoke of the parties on Instagram Live videos he streamed, which appears to be the source he attended these parties. “Everybody know there ain’t no party like a Diddy party”.

Key word -- IF. And you're right, I can't fathom it because I can't believe he would be THAT stupid. We'll see what comes out.

Not that I'm any kind of fan of LeBron James, but I strongly disagree. A man is innocent unless and until convicted in a court of law. Case closed. And thank the gods that the presumption of innocence still holds sway here in the U.S. and Canada. The thought of a Soviet style system where a charge equals a conviction is a nightmare for any advocate of individual liberty.

No need to sell. Even if true and accusations are incoming (is there a credible source?), he will be treated completely different from guys like Bauer by the public, the hobby and this board. People will suddenly be able to understand that an accusation might be false. Instead of ignoring exonerating evidence, any gaps will be highlighted and the case downplayed from the start, instead of magnified.


Don’t think Puffy is getting to find another Shyne to take the rap this time. Couldn’t the Feds have shown any interest in his criminality before the shiny suit era?
