OAKLAND, Calif. -- When it comes to the public relations game, LeBron James' losing streak is reaching historic levels.
No gaffe was greater than "The Decision," the one-hour ESPN special on which he announced he was leaving Cleveland to join Miami as a free agent. He was instantly villainized after the program, not only for the egocentric nature of the event but because of his decision not to inform the Cavs or their fans of his intentions in advance.
There have been a number of James airballs on the PR front since then, the latest coming late Tuesday night when he seemed to sucker-Tweet his old teammates in Cleveland during the final minutes of their 112-57 loss to the Lakers by writing "Karma is a b****.. Gets you every time. Its not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!"
Yet in a sign of how bad James' PR approach has become that he would be well-advised to pay attention to, even Ron Artest -- Lakers small forward and resident expert on NBA villainy -- can't seem to understand what the self-proclaimed King is thinking.
"Yeah, I saw that (tweet)," Artest said when asked about it Wednesday night before facing Golden State. "Unfortunately I saw that."
And your thoughts?
