MIAMI -- If the Miami Heat locker room was polled, LeBron James would not have unanimous support in the race for Time's Person of the Year. James wouldn't even vote for himself. Calling it "crazy" just to be on the list of finalists for the award, the NBA's reigning two-time MVP seemed almost a bit embarrassed on Monday when he learned that he was one of the final 25 names under consideration. The winner of the award, bestowed since 1927 on a person or group who "has done the most to influence the events of the year," is expected to be revealed next month. "I am who I am and I think I'm in a position of my life where I'm going to get better every day," James said after Miami wrapped up its practice Monday. "But it's too much." Other finalists this year include President Barack Obama (the 2008 winner), Lady Gaga, Sarah Palin, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, conservative commentator Glenn Beck, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.This is a joke, right? Is Lebron seriously nominated for Person of The Year along with the likes of Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Obama, and Lady GaGa? What the fuck have they done in the past year except lie, create hate and spread fear? Technically Barack hasn't done any of that because he really hasn't done anything but I digress. If we're going that far then how do you leave Charlie Sheen or Mel Gibson off the list? They've definitely influenced the way I speak to women. It's days like this that I question my existence on this planet. I bet tomorrow we're gonna wake up and the vatican will announce that they're adding pages to the bible titled "The Days Of Tebow."
