LeBron James Getting Crushed For Recent Comment Regarding Northern Iowa
Well, we knew this was coming. Wednesday, NBA superstar LeBron James was asked about Northern Iowa's collapse against Texas A&M on Sunday night, and surprisingly, he said that he'd "quit basketball" if he were a memberof the Panthers' team. The comment isn't going over well - even if he meant it as a joke.
LeBron's mentions on Twitter are predictably insane. Many believe that James should have been a little more positive about the situation - you know, because he's a huge role model for young basketball players around the world.

What do you think? Is this being overblown or should James have been a bit more compassionate?
