Exclusive ProofsandSpoofs.com Interview:
LeBron Defends China Stance and Introduces “LeCommie” Shoes
Amid the intense controversy sparked by his comments criticizing Houston Rocket executive Daryl Morey’s tweet in support of Hong Kong protesters, LeBron James agreed to an exclusive interview with ProofsandSpoofs.com. The following transcript of our phone interview with LeBron is unedited.
Proofs: LeBron, thanks for taking the time to talk with us. Let’s get right to the accusation from across the political spectrum that you’ve sold out to the Chinese.
LeBron: That’s ridiculous. In fact, next week, I will be releasing a brand new sneaker named, “LeCommie” that will only be available in China and will cost $20 less than my famous LeBron Nike shoes, which retail for $200 at Foot Locker. LeCommies will only cost $180.00.
Proofs: But doesn’t that just prove your main interest is making money in China, and you couldn’t care less about human rights for the Hong Kong protesters?
LeBron: LeCommies have super-breathable uppers, allowing great ventilation. Chinese feet in these shoes will breathe free. No man is truly free when his dogs are trapped in oppressive sweatiness.
Proofs: But what about the one million Chinese Uighur Muslims in detainment camps, where they are being brainwashed to reject Islam in favor of Marxism. Even CBS News calls it, “Orwellian.”
LeBron: I plan to provide LeCommies at discounted prices to any Muslim in one of the posh re-education facilities. We’ll just emboss those shoes with Mao’s likeness to keep my man Xi happy.
Proofs: But your sneakers are made in factories where the workers are treated abysmally, often being required to be on their feet for more than 10 hours a day? Isn’t that reprehensible?
LeBron: Man, I used to play hoop on asphalt in the blazing sun for longer than that each day in Akron, and I didn’t even make 23 cents an hour, like they do. Also, I didn’t have the cushiony support and breathable fabric protecting my dogs like the Chinese Nike workers wearing LeCommies — which they also get to buy at a 10 percent discount.
Proofs: Yeah, but what about credible reports that the Chinese are harvesting the organs of executed criminals and political dissidents and then selling them for profit?
LeBron: I’m happy to accept those body parts as payment for my new LeCommie sneakers, which I’ll give to surviving families and loved ones.
Proofs: But then what will you do with those body parts?
LeBron: That’s why I’ve formed a partnership with Planned Parenthood, who will add these adult organs to their existing line of fetal organs. See, the Chinese are helping us grow our sneaker market, and it’s only right to give them access to our market for harvested organs.
Proofs: Are you worried that your disregard for the Hong Kong protesters will hurt your brand?
LeBron: Nah, I got my homey Steven A Smith out there shooting down all that negativity. And, of course, Barack’s got my back, too, if I need him.
Proofs: Thanks so much LeBron. At ProofsandSpoofs.com, we can’t wait to try on a pair of LeCommies. I’ll bet they make us all better b-ball Marx-men.
