They have light-skinned privilege for sure. Dan's absolutely right.
But make no mistake folks, LeBron lost his villain status, the moment he curved Pat Riley and Miami, and put together that "I'm Coming Home" PR Tour in the summer of 2014. And the media bought into it and ate it up. LBJ got praise for doing in Cleveland, what he used to get hate for in Miami. Cleveland had a damn pep Rally, and everyone loved it.
What happened once the 2014-2015 season started was, Golden State came out of nowhere and killed LBJ's momentum and killed what was supposed to be his Homecoming Cleveland Coronation Tour. And as a bitter Heat fan, I'm glad they killed all the FAKE media love and phonyness that was supposed to be the LBJ Homecoming LoveFesr Tour. Half the people rooting for LBJ hated him when he was in a Miami Jersey. Phonies.....
Steph and Klay, keep rockin with that light-skinned privilege brehs.
