INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- LeBron James says he has lost all respect for Phil Jackson after the New York Knicks president characterized James business associates as a posse in a recent interview with ESPN. Scott Laughton Flyers Jersey .Zero, James said Tuesday, when asked if he had any previous ties to Jackson. No relationship at all. I had nothing but respect for him as a coach for what he was able to do. Obviously he was at the helm of [the team featuring] my favorite player of all time [Michael Jordan], and also being there growing up and watching him with the Lakers, but I got nothing for him.Jackson, in an interview with ESPNs Jackie MacMullan published this week, made the statement while revisiting James departure from the Miami Heat to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the summer of 2014 and what it meant for the tenure of Heat president Pat Riley.It had to hurt when they lost LeBron, Jackson said. That was definitely a slap in the face. But there were a lot of little things that came out of that. When LeBron was playing with the Heat, they went to Cleveland, and he wanted to spend the night. They dont do overnights. Teams just dont. So now [coach Erik] Spoelstra has to text Riley and say, What do I do in this situation? And Pat, who has iron-fist rules, answers, You are on the plane. You are with this team. You cant hold up the whole team because you and your mom and your posse want to spend an extra night in Cleveland.I always thought Pat had this really nice vibe with his guys. But something happened there where it broke down. I do know LeBron likes special treatment. He needs things his way.James business associate Maverick Carter took issue with Jacksons statement, telling ESPN on Monday that he felt compelled to respond, citing the recent debate around coded language.Its the word posse and the characterization I take offense to, Carter said. If he would have said LeBron and his agent, LeBron and his business partners or LeBron and his friends, thats one thing. Yet because youre young and black, he can use that word. Were grown men.James elaborated on the subject Tuesday morning.Ive been in the league for 14 years and from the beginning two years in, I felt like I wanted to put my guys in positions of power, give those guys an opportunity to better themselves, James said. You know, in the beginning we were highly criticized and I was highly criticized about what I wanted to do to help some guys around me become very successful in business.It just sucks that now at this point having one of the biggest businesses you can have both on and off the floor, having a certified agent in Rich Paul, having a certified business partner in Maverick Carter thats done so many great business [deals], that the title for young African-Americans is the word posse.Carter oversees the entertainment aspects of James off-court interests; Paul represents James as his agent and runs the Klutch Sports Group, which counts many other NBA players as clients; and Randy Mims is the executive administrator of player programs and logistics for the Cavs.We see the success that we have, but then there is always someone that lets you know still how far we still have to go as African-Americans, James said.But it wont stop us from doing what we need to do as a group, he added. Were not going to let Phil Jacksons comments stop us from doing what we need to do. It just gives us extra motivation. But its still sad.James said he didnt think Jackson would use the term posse to describe a powerful sports figure who isnt African-American.If you go and read the definition of what the word posse is, its not what Ive built over my career, James said. Its not what I stand for, its not what my family stands for. I believe the only reason he used that word is because he sees young African-Americans trying to make a difference.Jackson hasnt responded directly to James or Carters comments, but on Tuesday he did retweet a post from?Knicks Vice President of Player Personnel Clarence Gaines Jr. about the Posse Foundation, a college access and youth leadership development program.In the same interview with MacMullan, Jackson said he regularly meets with Knicks star Carmelo Anthony to strengthen their relationship as executive and player.Anthony, one of James closest friends in the league, also addressed the issue Tuesday.I know [James] and I dont think he would just say something to be saying it, Anthony said. Whatever was said, Im pretty sure it hit home and he responded to it. I dont know exactly what was said.Anthony said he doesnt think Jackson meant to use the word posse in a racial connotation, but he also didnt want to speak on Jacksons behalf.James and the Cavs play the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 7, in what now figures to be an even more highly anticipated matchup.Its not surprising, James said. If [Jackson] says it out to the media, you can only imagine what he says when the camera is not on him or the headset or whatever you guys record on. Just got a lot more work to do.James was asked if there was any correlation between Donald Trump winning the presidential election and Jacksons sentiments.I dont know, James said. It could be a reach. But at the same time ... it could not be a reach. You dont know what the direct correlation is, but I know how hard I work, I know how much I sacrifice, I know I show up to work every single day and I know I put my team and every franchise Ive been on -- from the Heat to here -- before me because Ive only cared about one thing. And thats winning.Ive tried to put my guys in position to where they can walk in a meeting and go places and they dont need me because they got to a point where theyve done their homework, theyve studied on what they want to do and they can hold a meeting without me because of the respect that they have and the knowledge they have. Thats just 12 years of hard work and dedication that we put to each other. I know Phils in a position of power in our sport, but to criticize me and my guys over that is nonsense.James has played in six consecutive NBA Finals and has three championship rings. Jackson won 11 championships as a coach and two as a player. On Tuesday, James sounded hurt to be scrutinized instead of being embraced by another luminary in league history.If anybody needed advice about the game or wanted to talk about the game, Ive been nothing but open, James said. But it seems like when my name is involved with other people thats helped build the game, its like, How can we criticize what he does on and off the floor? instead of trying to help me.James coach in Cleveland, Tyronn Lue, has played under Jackson, but said hes not going to broker any sort of meeting between the two.Its not something I talked about so if they want to meet they can meet or whatever. Im not in that, said Lue, who added that hes focused only on making the Cavs a better team.James was visibly perturbed with the subject matter for the 10-minute media session. He later told a reporter he would have had much more to say on the subject, but he wanted to stay in a positive state of mind.He added that he wanted to be able to still get his nap in before the Cavs game against the Toronto Raptors later that night with first place in the Eastern Conference on the line.My whole goal is while I have this platform and this muscle that I have right now is how can I better the youth that looks at me every single day and sees what I do and sees what I say and sees the way I walk and talk and what I wear and use it as a positive way to get out of the situation theyre in, James said. Im not going to be that guy that ever downplays somebody or tries to knock someone off just [to] feel better about myself.ESPNs Ian Begley contributed to this report. James Van Riemsdyk Jersey . The Australian is competing in his final season in Formula One and still looking for his first win this year. He will look to end Vettels run of six straight race wins on Sunday. Webber, who is fifth in the championship, earned his second pole from the past three races and 13th of his career. Jakub Voracek Flyers Jersey . Now tied for second in the league in shootout goals, the 24-year-old likes to see what the opposing goaltender has in store before he ultimately lands on a move. http://www.nhlflyersproauthentic.com/eric-lindros-hockey-jersey/ . LeBron James and Chris Bosh didnt need any more. Williams scored 11 points in 10 minutes, Alan Anderson scored 17 points, and the Brooklyn Nets finished the exhibition season with a 108-87 win over the Miami Heat on Friday night. Former four-division world titleholder Adrien Broner was sent to county jail for 30 days on Tuesday for failing to show up on time for his own trial.Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Robert Ruehlman found Broner in contempt of court after he did not show up for his trial on felony assault and aggravated robbery charges.The charges stem from an incident during the early-morning hours of Jan. 21 in which Broner allegedly assaulted a man and robbed him of $12,000 at gunpoint outside of a Cincinnati bowling alley. Broner allegedly lost the money to the victim during a night of high-stakes betting on bowling games, knocked him unconscious outside the bowling alley after a confrontation and took the money.When Broner failed to show up promptly at the courthouse for the trial on Tuesday morning, Ruehlman issued an arrest warrant. Broner eventually arrived at the courthouse at about noon, about three hours late, but the judge did not rescind the contempt charge and sent him to jail.According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Broners hometown paper, Broner was said to appear ill when he arrived and told Ruehlman that somebody put something in my drink the previous night. He added: I dont even drink. I didnt drink last night.You dont look well. You look like you have a hangover, Ruehlman said, according to a transcript of the hearing obtained by the newspaper.Broners response, according to the transcript, was, I have been sick all morning. When I finally got well, I called my lawyer.Ruehlman did not buy Broners story and told him, according to the transcript, Its not a good excuse. He looks like hes drunk or hungover. Brian Elliott Jersey. To coin a little boxing phrase -- youre not ducking this one.Will Welsh, Broners lawyer, told the Enquirer that Broner accepted the ruling, adding He certainly apologizes and understands why the judge was upset.Ruehlman told Broner, 26, that he was considering dismissing the case had Broner been in the courtroom on time, according to the newspaper.After the bowling alley incident, Broner had two outstanding felony warrants for his arrest, but he still boxed in Washington, D.C., in a nationally televised fight on April 1 and knocked out Ashley Theophane in the ninth round -- one day after being stripped of his junior welterweight world title for failing to make weight.Broner (32-2, 24 KOs) returned to Cincinnati and turned himself in on April 4 as had been arranged between his attorney and Hamilton County officials a few days before the fight. Broner was released later that day on $100,000 bond and pled not guilty at his arraignment on April 5. The trial was set to begin Tuesday.According to the Hamilton County Sheriffs Office website, Broner was taken into custody at 12:45 p.m. ET. Part of Broners entry includes the comment, Do not release under any circumstances per Judge Ruehlman.Broner was in line for a fall pay-per-view fight against Manny Pacquiao, but Pacquiao promoter Top Rank stopped the talks, saying Broner had asked for much more money than was available to pay Pacquiaos opponent.
