The more I think about the unfounded validity of his claim, I wonder if this was a ploy to drive traffic to his show. The show was not well known or highly publicized. Associating it with Bama has given him free publicity. Lebron regularly says or does something to draw attention to himself when he is not the main topic the the sports new cycle.While I am biased against Lebron, early on some posters made a valid point that this might just be his people pushing this case forward on the grounds that they have a strong case.
After hearing what Saban had to say and what ESPN had to say, there just doesn't seem to be much of a case there. On the other hand, Lebron's statement was fairly aggressive. While he might not have initiated things, it seems plausible that for some reason this might have gotten him worked up. The difference is he can't just lower his shoulder and run over Saban on the way to the basket.
Regardless, it seems like Lebron and his people won't have much to work with here. It isn't a new format, they don't seem to have a particularly powerful position, and at most it seems like a name and logo change might be in order. Basically this is just free press for Alabama, and more bad press for Lebron who really hasn't had the best year in terms of public relations.
