Entitled dumb-ass drama queen bitching because he might have to play in an All-Star game. He says it's a "slap in the face" that they want him to play.
This guy is such a fucking annoying bitch.

Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James has 'zero energy, zero excitement' for All-Star Game
LOS ANGELES -- The NBA's most high-profile star, LeBron James, ripped the league's plans to hold an All-Star Game in Atlanta in March while COVID-19 restrictions continue to have a grip on the regular season.
"I have zero energy and zero excitement about an All-Star Game this year," James said after the Los Angeles Lakers' 114-93 win over the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. "I don't even understand why we're having an All-Star Game."
"And then they throw an All-Star Game on us like this and just breaks that all the way up. So, um, pretty much kind of a slap in the face."
James also stated the obvious health concerns of staging the festivities in Atlanta, where there are fewer state-mandated coronavirus restrictions compared to other NBA locales around the country. The Atlanta Hawks, for instance, are one of only nine teams allowing fans at their home games this season.
"We're also still dealing with a pandemic," James said. "We're still dealing with everything that's been going on, and we're going to bring the whole league into one city that's open? Obviously, the pandemic has absolutely nothing to do with it at this point when it comes to that weekend.
"Obviously, you guys can see that I'm not very happy about it."
While voicing his displeasure in no uncertain terms, James said he would report for the game if he were to be named an All-Star for the 17th straight season. James led the West with 2,288,676 votes in the league's first voting returns announced earlier Thursday. Brooklyn's Kevin Durant led the East with 2,302,705 votes as the only player in the league to appear on more ballots than James.
"It's the agreement that the players' association and the league came about. ... It's out of my hands," James said. "I'll be there if I'm selected. But I'll be there physically, but not mentally."

I didn't love how he said it, but the essence of what he is saying is right. And honestly, they should reserve the time they're using for the All-Star to make up for cancelled
It's a little odd they shortened the season, but found room for an All Star Game IMO.
It's also a little naive to put so many people in one space, especially in a place like Atlanta
Ehh, Bron, etc sound pretty stupid here. I really don't know what type of money the NBA is planning to make off this ASG but probably not an insignificant amount. League is obviously trying to get a few dollar back from the massive hit they've taken. When you make 40-50m a year in the middle of a recession, you probably shouldn't be complaining. Guys just sound dumb.
Don't really care either way though, haven't been entertained by an all-star game in a long time in any sport.
