OK, this needs to be asked here...
With as much money as RJ has made in his career, why on earth would you let your father continue to live in a shit hole like Compton??? Buy him a house in Malibu or the Hills.
RJ's biological Dad was apparently a serious gang member.OK, this needs to be asked here...

The best part of that article is how honest RJ was... I think this is a big part of LeBron and why he and so many other players don’t work as teammates. You have to be insanely competitive to win a title, and for his career (or maybe until this summer), LeBron has been all about winning titles.Fantastic article by Richard Jefferson in the Players Tribune this morning. Lots of rehashing of the 2016 finals. A few great shots at how lame the Warriors are.
No one from that Cavs team respects the Warriors and I love it. "Some titles……. they just mean more than other titles. That’s just the truth. I know it. You know it. Golden State knows it."
Shout out to Dahntay Jones for giving quality minutes after the half. Just about everyone contributed on the path to the title.The best part of that article is how honest RJ was...

That 2016 team was filled, 1-15, with guys who were that competitive. I don’t think guys like IT, Dion, Deron Williams, etc. were like that. The 2016 team was legendary.

My wife still teases me about it. She’s like, “I don’t understand. You didn’t even cry like that at our wedding! You didn’t cry like that when our kids were born!”
And I tell her the truth.
Any idiot can get married. Any idiot can be a father. An NBA title? That’s work. That’s worth crying over.
You know what’s sick? Even after all that, it genuinely pisses me off that we didn’t repeat as champions. I should have two rings.
( F***ing Kevin Durant, man!!!)
From time to time, someone will come up to me on the street, or in an airport, and they won’t ask for a selfie. They won’t ask for an autograph. They won’t even want to talk basketball.
They’ll just come up and shake my hand and say, “Thank you. Thank you guys for what you did for us.”
That’s it.
Just thank you.
And I know exactly where they’re from, and I know exactly what they mean.
I helped bring a championship to the city of Cleveland. A lot of guys got rings — but how many guys can say that?
So, yeah, maybe we only got one. But we got THE one.
Some titles……. they just mean more than other titles. That’s just the truth. I know it. You know it. Golden State knows it.
And Cleveland definitely knows it.
Some titles mean the world.
So let me just say, before I hit the road ….
Thank you, Ohio.
One of my favorite aspects of that title was all the veterans that were rewarded after long NBA careers; Mo (who wound up being a real piece of shit, but not at the time), Dahntay and James Jones. RJ and Frye are as likable and upstanding as any two guys in sports, and you could tell how much it meant to them. You consider the personal tragedies that they've both experienced with the deaths of parents since then, and it makes that triumph all the more poignant.That 2016 team was filled, 1-15, with guys who were that competitive.
