Analysis of Lebron James' birthday wish tweets

This morning Cleveland Cavs star Lebron James tweeted a birthday wish to Lonzo Ball, the #2 draft pick for the Los Angeles Lakers. Why did he do this? Does he have a relationship with Ball? Do they know each other? We can't say for sure. But what we do know is that LBJ always has a purpose with his actions, and is selective to whom he wishes happy birthday to.

Lebron has three ways of expressing his wishes: bday, gday, and birthday. He retired his use of 'b-day', but did use it once in the past two years for TT, so I put that under bday. Here are his wishes from the past 2 years (please let me know if you find any missing):

Birthday

Bday

KLove: https://i.imgur.com/SOwwypT.png

Simmons: https://i.imgur.com/uU2drkL.png

MJ: https://i.imgur.com/y6q3iqh.png

JR: https://i.imgur.com/y6q3iqh.png

TT: https://i.imgur.com/MebCr4p.png

GDay

Lonzo: https://i.imgur.com/ba4McU7.png

Dejounte: https://i.imgur.com/AhV3X8f.png

Wall: https://i.imgur.com/a8l17i0.png

Let's take it step by step. He likes to tweet wishes to Klutch clients: JR, Wall, Simmons, TT, Dejounte

He tweets wishes to his teammates (crossover with clients): KLove, JR, TT

He reserves "Happy Birthday" for people who have had or hold the most exclusive positions, Obama (44th POTUS) and Magic Johnson (President of BBall Ops for the LA Lakers)

So what does that leave us with? Lonzo Ball. What prompted lebron to tweet him in the morning? We know LBJ went to watch him during his 2nd summer league game, but left before the game was over.

He's only used the #LiveLaughLove hashtag twice, including this wish to Lonzo. The only other time was here: https://i.imgur.com/pZOg81z.png

Why didn't anyone else get a #LiveLaughLove in their bday tweet? What is LBJ up to?

Please discuss.

Even if Bron didn't play, he'd be an amazing mentor for the young lakers guys

The 3 L's in the hashtag got my eyebrows moving... Lonzo, Lakers, Lebron ?

He also did not call Lonzo lil bro, but young king.. .hmmmm

34
kkhireOP•

excellent point. bron has only used the term "young king" 3 times, only one of which was in the past 2 years for his son bronny.

this is the first time we've seen bron use "young 👑King" wit the crown emoji. great find. what could this mean?

25
REF7EX00•

A King currently in reign calling his son young king is essentially saying he will be the heir to his family name as kings give birth to future kings. Now saying that to someone not of your blood is saying he acknowledges Lonzo as someone w/ power and sovereignty over the Lakers as commanded by Magic Johnson, someone who LeBron also idolizes. Perhaps its foreshadowing if LeBron joins the Lakers, he acknowledges Lonzo has control of the Lakers. ( I'm reaching again )

Lonzo baLL...

Lonzo, Lakers, LeBron...

Three L's...

Three losses in the finals means four games won in seven game series...

Blocked by mods in their queue probably. Who cares about r/nba though, bunch of small ballers.

They're intentionally removing any post of the tweet or anything about it.

it all makes sense now..

Obama and Magic are working to get Lebron n the Lakers where he'll win 4 more chips, retire in 10 years, and then run for President of the United States.
