Even Delusional Dick Vitale Sees How Dumb This LeBron AAU Criticism Truly is
By Michael Luciano
The FS1 talking heads were busy getting shots in at LeBron James having the audacity to go a little overboard in supporting his son at an AAU game, with windbags like Skip Bayless and Jason Whitlock declaring LeBron the worst thing in the world and en egotist for...being happy for his son.
Even 80-year-old Dick Vitale managed to obliterate Skip for his moronic criticism of LeBron being a dedicated dad.
Come on Skip u can’t be serious / man I ‘d rather see a Dad like @KingJames get overly excited watching his son than some dude who never ever has a moment for his son or daughter . Sad when to get att. Skip u rip a Dad that cares. You r on the money KING RICHARD!

James has been the subject of an avalanche of faux outrage and contrarian debate over his behavior at an AAU in which he dunked the ball in warmups with the team and exploded into celebration after his son Bronny dunked.
The amount of pearl-clutching online has become epidemic. He was pumped up about his son. He isn't LaVar Ball-ing his way through his son's basketball career. He didn't stop the game or do anything truly outrageous. He simply celebrated.
The internet is coming to LeBron's defense after he was criticized for his courtside enthusiasm at Bronny's tournament.

Can't people just do nice things for each other anymore without the debate shows in the morning pushing some narrative that goes against the grain? As long as Skip and Whitlock are on the air, I guess not.
