It was definitely a reference to King Kong, which is what makes it offensive to some.

I think he was being sarcastic when he made the comment about stereotyping because LeBron was dribbling a basketball. <BR/><BR/>I thought more about this article and I think I blame Jemele Hill's editor for it as well.

I doubt he would have agreed to let them use the picture if he was truly offended by it. I guess Jemele Hill thinks all basketball players are stupid. <BR/><BR/>What the fuck was she talking about with King Kong and all? Would it have been better if he had Vivica Fox in his arm? Then she would have bitched it is just making women seem like they are ornaments and objects. She needs to spend more time figuring out why she can't write a cohesive article and less time complaining about magazine covers.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-14960386363728169382008-03-24T08:44:00.000-07:002008-03-24T08:44:00.000-07:00Usually when a minority claims that an image/state...Usually when a minority claims that an image/statement/whatever is offensive and white people claim emphatically that it's not offensive and that the minority is trying to invent racism where it isn't and that the minority themself is the racist, I cough "bullshit" loudly.<BR/><BR/>This, however, is the one exception that proves the rule.<BR/><BR/>Seriously...how on earth do you find that offensive?<BR/><BR/>Ugh.....Extremist Sports Paparazzi Network.Chris Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12152452626681072765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-9397835061028833022008-03-24T06:23:00.000-07:002008-03-24T06:23:00.000-07:00Now that this issue is out in the open, it's time ...Now that this issue is out in the open, it's time we addressed Kevin Garnett's racism.
