Lebron James Smoked Marijuanna (in HS)

[Jon]

The bigger story is that he probably does steroids or HGH now. 

If that ever comes out as a story, sure.

I'm not one for assassinating a man's character on assumptions.

That's not to say he doesn't (or didn't) but naive as it is, i still believe your innocent until proven otherwise.

If LeBron didn't want to be speculated about publicly, she shouldn't have or wouldn't have signed up to be in the NBA. 

But LeBron isn't the one complaining about a completely blind accusation. So this sentence is not really apt.

I do think any athlete should expect some sort of PED rumor now a days, but that doesn't mean we should just nod our heads when people just spout off random accusations.

True.  But similarly, I don't think people need to defend professional athletes either.  There's far too many people in the world who actually need someone to stick up for them to waste time defending a professional athlete making tens of millions of dollars per year.  

How is affording someone the benefit of the doubt when no proof, or indeed any credible accusation "sticking up" for them?

It's kinda what our entire justice system and American ideals are based on...That pesky innocent until proven guilty thing.

You're probably right.  It just irks me that anyone wants to stand up for the character of professional athletes.  As far as I'm concerned, if they want to get paid tens of millions of dollars and teams can charge us hundreds of dollars for tickets, if I want to call LeBron a serial killer, I should be able to. 

You are able to do just that. Doesn't mean we can't point out that your claim is full of crap.

Maybe.  However, you can't prove he isn't either of those things either.  That's what irks me.  It isn't, "I don't think he uses PEDs," it's "I'm not one for assassinating a man's character on assumptions."  

My only gripe is who cares if we're assassinating a professional athlete's character, particularly one on a rival team?

So I'm supposed to prove a negative?

This is a good PR move by Lebron too.  It makes him look better when he says something now.  If it was to be found out by somebody else and the story broke, it could be one of those overhyped Sportscenter story.

I think people already figured that out since he's a father.
