LeBron James was named Best Male Athlete at the 2009 BET Awards and in keeping with the theme of the night, he had some words about the passing of Michael Jackson. (I apologize in advance for the Mystery Sciene Theater 3000esque anti-Kobe sentiment in the beginning of the video.)

LeBron shoutin’ out the legend. That’s what’s up. BUT.. Did you peep what longtime James friend, and business-partner Randy Mims was wearing? I know he’s his own man, but this has to be a subliminal shot aimed at Cleveland management to let them know trading for Shaq isn’t enough to keep LeBron James in town.
