Propers to Clutchcity for being the first place I saw this: it was just too funny not to steal:
I love this. Athletes are too complimentary towards each other; I think it's great to see beef between two guys, like Allen and Bryant, or Wallace and Artest, or Bowen and everybody... It's just too bad that Stevenson is gäbbage.

Like most NBA observers, LeBron James was tickled when he heard about DeShawn Stevenson's comments following last Thursday's Cavaliers game against the Washington Wizards.
After the Cavs' loss, Stevenson said a number of things about James, including his belief that James is overrated. It was part of the trash talking the two players were involved in during the game.
James said: "With DeShawn Stevenson, it's kind of funny. It's almost like Jay-Z [responding to a negative comment] made by Soulja Boy. It doesn't make sense."

In the locker room afterward, Stevenson was asked about the possibility of facing the Magic or the Cavaliers in the first round (it wasn't me) and he took the bait...
"I hope we play Cleveland," Stevenson said. "I'm going to get Soulja Boy courtside seats and have him wear a DeShawn Stevenson jersey. Maybe (James) can have Jay-Z there since LeBron's all on his (shorts) anyway."
Stevenson wasn't done.
"And tell LeBron to cut that beard off and stop copying me."
