No one made a bigger spectacle about the departure of LeBron James from Miami than Dan Le Batard, host of the show “High Questionable” on ESPN. It’s no surprise, then, that the early struggles of the Cleveland Cavaliers has been quite enjoyable for the man who got suspended for putting up these billboards in Cleveland.
The Cavaliers have been surprisingly bad to begin the season, and things didn’t get any better on Friday against the Washington Wizards on national television. They shot 36 percent from the field as a team, including a paltry 22.2 percent from the 3-point line, and accumulated 19 turnovers to just 13 assists. It ultimately resulted in an embarrassing 91-78 loss, dropping them to 5-6 on the season. Le Batard saw it all and soaked it all in:
Kyrie Irving just dribbled around for 20 seconds without anyone else touching the ball so he could shoot a contested 18-footer

His team, the Miami Heat, aren’t doing much better at 6-6, but that’s a story for another day. James understands that things are looking rather bleak at the moment, but also clearly believes that better times are ahead and had this to say:
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge….

Anyone else see the tremendous irony of using that sentence to describe his current situation?

Mr.Park clearly does not understand Lebatard, his motives, and obviously doesn’t listen to his show based on the first paragraph of this article.
Um not sure what your referring to, dude can dance around it all he wants, but Dan hated the king for leaving and couldn’t let it go. To the point he got suspended, he loves watching cavs struggle, he is entertainment and that’s it
