Am I the only one who doesn't find this fool funny? Stick to basketball honey!

I stopped watching the dog gone ESPY's because I couldn't stand the stupid acts by Lebron.

July 19, 2007  10:07 AM ET

yeah...he's not funny...

July 19, 2007  10:29 AM ET

what makes him funny?

July 19, 2007  10:41 AM ET

I can't even stand them stupid Nike commercials. He's got a very dry personality and that's not very good for commedy.

If LeBron is trying to be the next Jordan.. he needs to focus on the things Jordan did- BASKETBALL. Not dancing like a damn fool at the ESPYs.

I think fame is more important to LeBron than winning. That's why in the end D-Wade and Kobe will be LEGENDS like Jordan. LeBron is just in it for the money and maybe if he's lucky enough to win a ring somehow. Once his Cavs contract is up- he's going to ink a long term deal with his Boy Jay-Z and the Brooklyn Nets.

Red Frost,

The difference with D-Wade's commercials is that he's actually funny. He has a funny personality. Lebron is just ridiculous!

Kobe's commercials are usually about basketball. There are a few endorsement ones but their definitely no like "The Lebrons".

the only thing lebron should be doing is trying to get a championship not making an **** of himself on tv!!!!

July 19, 2007  12:46 PM ET

I don't think he's funny either. I find it interesting how people are always trying to make basketball playes these like larger than life personalities. They are just basketball players.

July 19, 2007  01:02 PM ET

He's pretty funny. I love his commercials especially "The LeBrons." Only one of Dwade's commercials are funny. Thats the one with his two personallities where one tells him to dunk it and the other says just get a lay up. Almost all his T-Mobile commercials are annoying except the one where he's making fun of Charles Barkley's shorts.

July 19, 2007  01:03 PM ET

D Wade n Barkley's commercials r FUNNY!!! The way they play off of eacvh other is brilliant!!! (They actually could do a sitcom) but Lebron's r dry !!! No he's not funny and yes he's trying 2 b a complete entertainer instead of an endorser but he just lost a finals and Jordan wouldve never been doin all this other stuff he wouldve been in the weightroom, gym, developing another move!!! Im getn real suspect bout this guy and his desire!!!

July 19, 2007  01:07 PM ET

Lebron's just trying to become the next Jordan as a marketing guru. Not gonna happen!

Michael Jordan could sell men's underwear to women if he wanted to because he's charming and his personality is just right. Lebron is just dry and his commerials sound so scripted and fake.

July 19, 2007  01:08 PM ET

LOL at DJ Eclectic. Jordan focused on "BASKETBALL" throughout his career?? Really?? Didn't the guy take a two year hiatus in the prime of his career to try to play BASEBALL? I also seem to recall a slew of horrendous movies and acting rolls led the by his amazing Oscar-worthy performance in "Space Jam." Maybe you're too young to remember that classic. Lebron does commercials like every other superstar in the NBA and he does the ESPYs and Saturday Night Live in the OFFSEASON and some of you clowns want to say he's not focused on basketball. Wow, okay.

Personally I think "The Lebrons" commercials are hillarious.

July 19, 2007  01:11 PM ET

Lighten up bnelly8555... I don't think people meant that literally!

He's just horrible at commercials and commedy so people say he should stick to b-ball or focus on b-ball.

July 19, 2007  01:14 PM ET

It is his prerogative

July 19, 2007  01:15 PM ET

No...his LEBROGATIVE

How corny is that....couldn't come up with anything better?

July 19, 2007  03:32 PM ET

The only thing funny is his jump shot.

Lebron is not going to stop when it is basketball season he is all business but after the season he is still all business.
