Stan culture fans were far more professional than the NBA experts. They didn't engage in subjective speculation or talk about "potential," "talent," or "The Chosen One." They simply presented the data and stated the facts.
The internet went wild!
The entertainment channels were also quick to follow up.
Originally, it was just people in the sports world discussing the Rookie of the Year race between James and Su Xi.
Now, everyone across the United States, whether they cared about sports or not, understood: James had piggybacked his way to his Rookie of the Year award.
The famous football superstar Tom Brady even said, "In the world of football, you wouldn't see such a ridiculous tie."
James was suddenly mortified.
Who would have thought that what started as a squabble of jealousy in the entertainment industry would end up with LeBron James being the one getting burned?
