Cam Newton rips fan for leaking LeBron James' location after refusing to take picture - "Lame a*s ni**a"
Cam Newton's opinions are gaining more and more weight as the former quarterback stars on his 4th and 1 show. Speaking on recent topics in the sports world, Newton gives his views on not only the NFL, but a variety of American issues as well.
A few days ago, LeBron James was in New York with his family to celebrate the NBA draft which had his son, Bronny James, as a prospect. As the family celebrated the union of father and son, a fan approached James with a picture request, which was denied.
In a petty move, the fan decided to record a video where he told everybody on the internet about the place where the NBA superstar was located. Cam Newton spoke on the issue and defended James, saying that "people couldn't do this to our Michael Jordan".
Everybody [is] trying to be content creators and trying to go viral. This is the most influential of our time. Of Gen Z. This is our Michael Jordan. This is our Kobe Bryant. This is our Jerry West. And we're sitting up here s******* on this man just because he didn't want to take a picture with your goofy a**, lame a** ni**a. You don't do that. Not to our heroes, bro. We've got to protect. Respect that dude. He's not a f**king animal. He's not a goldfish. He's a man who has real feelings.
Bronny James was the 55th overall pick and will play with his dad, a first-time feature in the NBA. LeBron James extended his deal with the Lakers shortly thereafter.
Cam Newton's NFL career: Is the former Carolina Panthers quarterback retired?
Officially, no, but it would take a huge miracle for him to return to the league. After not playing since the 2021 season, Cam Newton isn't going to start anytime soon.
His play style revolved around his body and the hits he was able to take. Now at 35 years of age, the risk of injuries for a player like him is massive. The 2015 MVP was a great sign to see in a Carolina Panthers jersey, but his NFL days are more than over.
