We want to like Lebron. We really do. We want him to be the 21st Century’s Basketball Jesus. But, alas, we’re beginning to come to the conclusion that he suffers from MLS (Matt Leinart Syndrome).

Matt Leinart Syndrome (MLS)

–noun Pathology.

a unique disorder where a famous entertainer/athlete possesses all outward qualities required to be extremely likeable, yet squanders these qualities by regularly acting like a douchebag.

We just got wind of this shit about Lebron being a Yankee’s fan and publicly announcing to the city of Cleveland that he’ll be rooting for New York in the Yankees/Indians series. What a jackass.

Aside from the multitude of geographical and philosophical reasons for Lebron not to be a Yankees fan, and aside from the fact that being a Yankees fan is the most unoriginal stance in sports, and aside from how egotistical and unwarranted it is to announce your Yankees affiliation before Game 1, Lebron simply cannot publicly root for the Yankees because HE IS CLEVELAND SPORTS.

He has to know his role.

Couple this debacle with the idiotic monstrosity of a house he’s currently building in Cleveland, and that he bites his fingernails, and that he hosted the ESPYs, we’re seriously considering taking an anti-Lebron stance in the near future.

If we find out he’s friends with Ashton Kutcher it’s official.
