Weak: LeBron Announces Break From Social Media, Proves His Ego Is Softer Than A Chinchilla

So much for being “The King”…

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is one of the most polarizing players in the NBA, he just knows how to rub people the wrong way, and he did it once again Wednesday as he announced that he’s taking a break from social media and his over 200 million followers.

Oh, and he used social media to make the announcement, because of course he did. (LMAO) (RELATED: Nuggets’ Russell Westbrook Becomes First Player Ever In NBA History To Hit 200 Career Triple-Doubles)

James started things off by reposting words from Kevin Durant’s manager, Rich Kleiman, who posted Oct. 24 on Twitter:

“We can all acknowledge that sports is the last part of society that universally brings people together. So why can’t the coverage do the same? It’s only click bait when you say it. When the platform is so big, you can make the change and allow us all an escape from real life negativity. I for one find it all a waste of breath.”

“AMEN!!” posted James.

And this led to James making his official announcement — he’s taking a rest from the online world.

And with that said I’ll holla at y’all! Getting off social media for the time being. Y’all take care ✌🏾👑

Proving his ego is softer than a chinchilla, social media let him have it for his outright weakness.

Stay safe buddy! See you tomorrow!

MJ, Magic, Bird & Kobe never took breaks from social media when they were playing because they could handle criticism unlike you, LeBorn. If you’re such a good player, how come you’ve lost 6 NBA Finals? Checkmate, Bronsexuals.

You are a quitter. MJ would never quit like this. Embarrassing.
