Yes... That was extremely cringey when he threw away the letter he brought out and spoke from the heart in “true Lakers fashion.” So scripted. It made it look like he was trying too hard to show how hurt he is.
I don’t have a problem with it. I simply said why someone might find that version of Amazing Grace hard to recognize or decipher.
I remember when Adele was doing a George Micheal tribute at the Grammy's and she messed up, stopped the band and told the crowd she wasn't going to mess this George Micheal tribute up and told the band to start over. Everyone loved her for it. That reminded me of Lebron saying he was going to do it from the heart. I hate to be cynical.. but come on! Lebron knew what he was going to say! Still heartfelt.. but come on.
Lol okay buddy. Go ahead and believe that part wasn’t scripted if that makes you feel better. The speech was great by itself. Didn’t make to make it so theatrical by tossing the letter.
Just on that second '8 Memorable Moments' of Kobe. Man, the All Star game was so much better when they had each player wearing their team jerseys.
