Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock wrote about King James. We read. We now pass it on.

Child celebrity athletes are falling just as hard as child actors. I’m afraid you might be next. That’s why it’s important that we communicate regularly. I reached out to Kobe much too late. And I trusted Barkley and Jordan to mentor Tiger. Pretty stupid, huh?

I’m not going to make the same mistake with you. Shaq has his own house to worry about. He can’t advise you while he’s going through a divorce.

Stick with me, LeBron. I’m going to get you through this.

First thing, let’s end all the foolish speculation about you leaving Cleveland after this season. No way. You don’t leave home. Not in this media environment. Moving to New York City would be the worst move possible.

The only thing dumber would be renting a room in your house to TMZ’s Harvey Levin.

Read the whole thing.

One reply on “Whitlock on LeBron”

  1. Dear Jason,

    I loved your article on LeBron, however, a couple of things. I am not quite sure if the individual athlete gets the NEW money. I loved what you said about Bill Russel. I am not quite sure if you spelled his last name correctly.
