LeBron James chases attention all the way to Atlanta the night before his Lakers play

He says his team has "No margin for error" but does this trip affect that margin?

LeBron James is at it again. I realize I roast him a lot on X, but the guy is such a phony and makes it so easy to clown him that I can’t resist. He will go a long way for some attention.

This time, we saw him whooping it up in a suite, getting plenty of screen time during the CFP championship game Monday night in Atlanta, wearing his Ohio State baseball cap with the buckeye stickers all over it. He loves making appearances at big events, where the cameras always seem to know where he is seated.

And no, the Akron native didn’t go to school at Ohio State. Heck, he has told people over the years if he had gone to college, rather than jumping directly to the NBA, his choice would have probably been Duke. But the Buckeyes are winning so he may as well jump on that bandwagon.

And jump on his private jet.
