    I can't say that I don't see a little bit of truth in that analogy. But in a non-racial way. Jesse, of course, has to frame everything in race, and in that, at least, he's wrong.

    A great irony then that LeBron fled to the south.

    Jesse Jackson has no credibility and quite the hypocrite. Does he still have a grudge against the Jews?

    I hate this shit so much. God forbid any white person says anything whatsoever negative about a black person. Instant racial remark in the eyes of the real racists

    Also, the comments made by Jesse Jackson are worse than Gilbert's

    Someone was lonely, because he's pretty much been gone from TV and the news since he said that he wanted to cut off Obamas nuts.

    This is why the Utah Jazz like to acquire white guys. You can fire a white guy and nobody says a damn thing.

    Is KP part black?

    I agree with Jackson. My brother actually said the exact same thing after Gilbert's comments. Used the term "runaway slave."

    Erroneous- you really think Jackson has to die for having an opinion?

    James owed Gilbert nothing and Gilbert did act like he owned LeBron.

    Even in 2010, there is still racism. Man, some of you are so bitter that you were born white.

    No, he isn't acting like a slave owner at all. This sounds more like a breakup or a divorce to me. LeBron broke his heart and now he's upset.

    It crossed a line. Was more than just negative.
