Unfortunately, Urkel’s first appearance resulted in a loss to the Oklahoma Thunder.  Probably because he left his rainbow suspenders at home.

DID I DO THAAAAT?

Remember when the coach of the Pacers called out LeBron and the Heat as the worst floppers in the league?  And how, despite the fact that this shit is nearly universally acknowledged to be stone-cold fact, that same coach was fined by the ridiculous David Stern for telling the truth?

Well…not that we need any more evidence, but some dude has posted a youtube tribute of LeBron’s most egregious and embarrassing flops and set that shit to music.  Chris Bosh even makes a guest appearance.  Thanks to Jordan Crawford (Wizards?) for the heads-up.  Enjoy:

*YAWN*

It’s pretty easy to make a case for LeBron’s MVP award this year if you look at the stats.

But, as LeBron James’ entire career has demonstrated, it’s not just about the stats.  Let’s look at some of the other top performers around the league and add a little context to the discussion:

Chris Paul – he dragged the sorry-ass LA Clippers to the playoffs in his first year on the team, despite a roster full of nobodies.  In 2011, the Clippers were shittier than the Golden State Warriors.

Derrick Rose – after he went down with a torn ACL, the Bulls went from beating the living hell out of the 76ers in the playoffs to having no chance in hell of beating the 76ers in the playoffs.  He’s a pretty valuable guy.  Oh yeah, and his team had the league’s best record during the regular season.  Better than the Heat.  How many MVP votes did Derrick Rose receive?  Exactly 1. And it was a third-place vote.  LBJ received 85 first-place votes.  So, out of all the sports jerks that vote on this shit, only one thought that Derrick Rose was good enough to get even a third place vote.  WTF?

Kevin Durant – he’s on the Oklahoma City Thunder.  He’s the league’s leading scorer.  And, unlike some other MVP candidates,  he can actually make free throws.

But yeah – LeBron James.  MVP.

OH NO!  LeBron James has injured his ring finger!

What will LeBron James do without his most useless, purposeless, unnecessary, unimportant appendage?  The same thing he always does – not wear a ring on it.

It is so completely unnecessary to make another joke here.  However, this is ihatelebronjames.com, and I have no choice but to do so.  So, in order to honor the absurdity of LeBron James injuring his ring finger, I have collected some of the best LeBron jokes from the web in the laziest manner possible, through a google:

LeBron’s collission with one of the oldest, skinniest guys in the NBA, Grant Hill, led many to fear that the Childish One had suffered a concussion.

The final question during his postgame news conference was if he ever has had a concussion. ”No,” James said. “I’m too tough for that.”

Concussion or no concussion, LeBron fans now have a ready-made excuse for whatever bullshit LeBron pulls in the playoffs this year…

Would you like to read a bunch of flimsy reasons why we (unfairly) hate on LeBron too much? Great – because some guy at Bleacher Report has provided 9 of them.  Not 10, just 9.

Check it out. This guy may be the worst LeBron apologist of all time.

This garbage reads more like a concise list of reminders as to why our hatred of LeBron is justified than a defense of LeBron’s behavior.  For example, here is the weakest possible argument in defense of Lebron’s recent anti-heroics:

LeBron pulled up for three and missed the shot that could have won the game, but the Heat got the offensive rebound and another chance to win the game. LeBron called Dwyane Wade to the ball and handed him the final shot. Wade made that shot, which led to a victory.

Well, once again, people didn’t think LeBron responded well to the pressure, and thought that he should’ve tried once more to give the Heat the win.

This is unfair criticism for a couple of reasons.

1. He tried to take the final shot. He missed.

2. After missing, LeBron probably wasn’t the most confident player on the court.

3. Do you really want a player lacking confidence shooting the final shot?

Didn’t think so.

Wow.  This genius explicitly addresses and validates the most common criticisms of the King James in one absolutely perfect example:

1. LeBron is not clutch when the game is in his hands.

In this example, LeBron misses a potentially game-winning shot.

2. LeBron is afraid to take the last shot.

In this example, LeBron is granted another chance to take the game-winning shot and redeem himself but passes the ball like it’s a hot potato.

3. LeBron is Wade’s sidekick/bitch/wife/Robin to Wade’s Batman, etc.

In this example, LeBron actually calls Wade over and gives him the ball (an obvious metaphor for leadership, responsibility, etc.) so that Wade can get it done.

So – Robin rushes into a fight, gets the shit kicked out of him, and Batman has to jump in and take care of business.  Robin watches the rest of the fight from the Batmobile.  With the doors locked.

LeBron and his merry band of pampered superstars couldn’t manage to beat the Bulls even with Derrick Rose sitting on the bench.  That doesn’t bode well for the Heat’s playoff chances.

More importantly, this:

If you want one of these FUK LBJ t-shirts, look to the right, click the pic, and snag one for yourself.  The more people humiliating this clown in public, the better…

You have to click directly on the actual FUK LBJ image, or it won’t work (because of the whole curse word thing, only a direct link will take you there).

According to some study or something, LeBron is the third most overpaid person in the universe.  Only the human Garbage Pail Kid known as Snooki and one of the Kardashians are more overpaid for whatever it is that they do for money.

As overpaid as LeBron is, it must not be enough munny for that greedy SOB, as Dunkin’ Donuts has just announced that LeBron James is the fresh new face of their amazing and delicious pork donuts in China!  YES.  Finally!  You know what?  I’m being unfair to Lebron.  I don’t want to give you guys the impression that he is simply cashing checks – this is simply not true.  He is an *ambassador*.

Fabulous.

What’s inside LeBron’s cute little purse? Eyeliner? One of those hilariously small pistols women used to carry in the wild west?  An even smaller Hello Kitty purse? WHO KNOWS.

Guess you don’t need a very big purse when all you gotta carry is three quarters…

Thanks to John G. for the heads-up.

UPDATE: Notorious LeBron fellator Kelly Dwyer has actually written a story titled “LeBron’s man purse is still cooler than anything you own.”  Uh…:

I don’t care what you think, that thing is dope. I’d carry two, if I could pull it off. With the leather and the handle, it looks like it’s going to be full of straight razors, scotch whisky and creamed spinach in anticipation for that night’s massive slab of prime rib. If that’s a man-purse, it’s something that Errol Flynn would have boarded a swanky dirigible with.

There are so many things wrong with this.  Oh yeah – nothing says manliness like straight razors, scotch, and prime rib.  And nothing says I’m about to crush a 40 oz. prime rib and wash it down with a bottle of Johnny Walker like the tiniest little tampon carrier in the world.  Nothing.

And no, this dude is not being sarcastic.  This isn’t some joke that I’m not getting. I know this because of everything he has ever written about LeBron in the past – close to 100% of it is sickening ass-kissing.

He even used the word “dope.”  That is unforgivable.

I guess LeBron got sick of getting dunked on by kids and decided to turn the tables on those little fuckers.  Skip to 0:40 to see LeBron absolutely destroy some little kid.  POSTERIZED!

In all fairness to LeBron, the kid was inside the charge circle.  No foul.
