Lebron and the Godfather

[OttoMets]

Regarding his quote on the ESPN crawl...has this guy actually seen the movie?

Hilarious.

I missed it, what did he say?

Lebron knew Shaq referenced the Godfather and tried to piggy back on it. Shaq said that D-Wade was Michael, Kobe was Sonny, and Penny was Fredo.

Don't have the exact words, but something like:

USA Basketball made a great move hiring Popovich, I might want to play for him in 2020. Coach K was great, too. It's like we're 'The Godfather,' we've got a great leader and then we bring in Michael Corleone.

Apparently Lebron missed the theme about the family falling apart specifically because Michael is an obsessive sociopath who spirals into misery.
