Exactly. Ray Allen was in the movie “He Got Game” when he was in college and was referred to by that character name, Jesus Shuttlesworth, throughout his playing career. You likely don’t remember it because you’re not looking for reasons to be offended by James.
Personally I don’t really care about him either way. I think he’s amazing to watch, or at least was 10 years ago, I think he was reasonably funny in Trainwreck, and… that’s about as far as it goes. Personally I give the Durantula a much longer leash, and this is a guy who’s just kind of shut up about Irving even though they’re current teammates (also Irving got Harden mad enough to leave, also Irving more or less got Nash, who was a KD pick, fired/to resign). I feel like a lot of this stuff has way less to do with a player being a good or bad spokesperson and way more to do with how you feel about what they do on court. For me, KD gets the pass because he’s a Supersonic. For others, LBJ gets an anti-pass because of The Decision or because he was the bad guy to those overpowered Warriors teams or because he joined the Yankees of the NBA, the LA Lakers (which, even as a Sonics fan, I loved to hate those guys but also just enjoyed them when they weren’t playing my guys).
