Like his name is on it.

He is the name that opens the door.

But all these deals, all these TV programs and movies and developments and treatments and selling it and making it and airing it.

It wasn't LeBron.

It was Maverick Carter.

It wasn't LeBron repping Ben Simmons or KCP or Anthony Davis.

But it's not just that, but they're actually doing the job.

And so that's what equally makes the posse comment so offensive.

It's not just, hey, because it's a bunch of young black guys, you're calling them a posse.

And that is a relic from a time earlier in the 90s where that was a term to describe all these hanger-ons.

It's that these guys are not hanger-ons.

Their business is unto themselves.

Well, I think the Phil Jackson thing, there are people who can explain it away.

And there were people who explained it away, that Phil Jackson didn't mean it like that, that posse is actually something from the old westerns, right?

I'm like, that's not how he meant it.

He meant it like in the NBA sense.

We've used the term posses, again, in the NBA since at least the 90s to mean a very specific thing.

But still, you have that counterargument.

With this, they spray painted the N-word on his front.

Like, there's no way at all that LeBron's being sensitive.
