Lebron James Get Booed At Wedding
Via: Yahoo
Last Saturday, while you were enjoying bratwursts and s’mores, Carmelo Anthony was marrying LaLa Vasquez, an MTV VJ. Cool weekend plans, I suppose. And since Melo is a big-time NBA baller, he attracted more than a few celebrities to his New York City nuptials. In attendance were Kim Kardashian, Spike Lee, Justin Timberlake and Ludacris, who hopefully provided entertainment during the reception. Oh, and LeBron James, whom you may have heard of.
That’s right — LeBron James was in New York City just two days after choosing the Miami Heat in his highly rated one-hour ESPN special. You can imagine how well that went over with Knick fans. From Fox Sports:
[LeBron] James was greeted by a round of loud boos from angry New Yorkers outside the wedding in Cipriani 42nd Street when he arrived with his girlfriend Savannah Brinson, myFOXny.com reported.

Geez, LeBron. Way to almost ruin your friend’s wedding by choosing to play in Miami. It’s like that old saying: “You made your multi-millon dollar free-agency bed, now get booed by Knick fans in it.” Or something like that. LBJ might as well hear the jeers now, since he’ll be getting heckled basically everywhere but Miami-Wade County. Better to start with a few scattered New Yorkers than 20,000 rabid Clevelanders who hate his guts.
Of course, if those same classy Knick fans had stuck around a little longer, they might have gotten some good news. According to the New York Post’s Marc Berman, attendee Chris Paul(notes) made a pretty interesting speech at the ceremony.
During Carmelo Anthony’s wedding Saturday night at Cipriani’s on 42nd Street, Chris Paul, the superstar New Orleans point guard, predicted a future Knicks Dream Team. […]
According to a person who spoke with wedding attendee Amar’e Stoudemire(notes), Paul made the reference during a speech of a potential union of himself, Stoudemire and Anthony, saying, “We’ll form our own Big 3,” Paul allegedly said.

I’m sure that won’t get New York fans’ hopes up for the summer of 2012. Surely they’ll take this potential joining of forces in stride and not get too upset if it never comes to fruition. At least I hope that’s the case because VJs don’t grow on trees these days. If things change, it’d be unfortunate for Knicks fans to have to boo Chris Paul for passing Jesse Camp on the street.
Wow! Hit me up with your thoughts.
