LeBron James Addresses Critics in Lengthy Instagram Post Following NBA Championship Win: 'Put Some Respeck On My Name' [Photo]

Every year at the beginning of the NBA Playoffs, LeBron James takes a break from social media for what he calls “Zero Dark Thirty-23” until the season is over.

After he and the Cleveland Cavaliers took home the championship last night, LeBron returned to social media and addressed his critics — while demanding ‘respeck’ on his name.

They said u lost a step, wasn’t explosive as once was, the best days was in the real view, questioned your drive, your leadership, your commitment, you don’t have killer instinct, going back home is the worst mistake in your career, he got the coach fired, players traded, won’t work between him and Kyrie, Him and Kev won’t work, love your teammates to much, there’s no way he can deliver a championship in his hometown, etc etc etc…. But guess what THATS NONE OF MY BUSINESS #StriveForGreatness #ThisOneIsForTheLand #PutSomeRespeckOnMyName Hahahaha!!! Yes sir
