This Lebron James-Jay Z/Deshawn Stevenson-Soulja Boy stuff has gone to new lengths. Reports in this morning's Washington Post have Jaz Z writing a new song that tore into Stevenson, and that the song was played at a Washington club called Love early Saturday morning — with James in the house.
The Post said James hosted a party there, and that James had Jay Z write the song. James denied having a party: "I didn't have a party. I was at a party. Just a regular club, regular night."
Asked if Jaz Z had a new song: "You guys are feeding something that's really not a big deal. I'm here to play basketball. It's becoming a little bit too commercial at this point. I'm going to focus on getting our team prepared to play a basketball team, not worried about what DeShawn might say or what any of the Wizards said. It's about playing the game of basketball. It's getting a little commercial right now. Been blown out of proportion. I'm ready to play a game today."
Here's the details on the evening, which apparently included Damon Jones grabbing the D-Jay's mike and insulting Stevenson more. Stevenson apparently believes James asked Jay Z to write the song after Game 3. Here's a Post column on the same subject.
Hard to believe James did that, based on his attitude toward Stevenson and his attitude after Game 3. But apparently something happened. And James best back it up.
