"WREG asked LeBron James if he would be willing to meet Josh, but he declined our offer."

Just read the article. How hard would it have been to go talk to the kid sitting court side for a minute, then snap a pic with him?

Lebron is the biggest pussy in the NBA but I don't think he's cold hearted enough to just turn down a sick kid's request just because. I'm sure there was a legitimate reason behind it.

What could've been the reason? The kid already had court side seats in the and Lebron was playing in. All he had to do was come by and say hey a few minutes before or after the game. Literally no effort at all.

I don't know what the reason was, he does that kind of thing all the time though. I assume since he didn't do it this time there must have been some reason.
ETA: the link I posted was from him doing the whole sick kid thing about 10 days ago in Milwaukee.

He had courtside seats but that's not where they sat. They sat in a box seat. Cancer kids can't just sit out in the public like that.

I could see not wanting to meet cancer kids every game. I'd need a break, that shite is depressing. I'd do my best to do some, but it would be nice if some other players could pick up the slack.

I think people forget how many "little" requests these guys get. If they said yes to all of them, they wouldn't have a life.

i think Lebron James is a jerk for a lot of reasons, but not this.
Pretty petty to even put that in there.

Was the kid ever courtside? If so, LeBron is a fricking prick fir not doing whatever he could to see him.

Could be wrong but I think you're confusing cancer with AIDS.

This.
I'm not even CLOSE to a LBJ fan (perish the thought ), but this is a silly thing over which to vilify him.

Such a feel good story! I wish folks in the south would open there eyes. Cannabis would make that kids life so much more enjoyable during his last days. Some things you can’t prevent but some things you can.
I really hate pot advocates. They have to make everything about them
