Some brave souls on Twitter dug these tweets up from Hawks SG Kent Bazemore’s twitter account five years ago. It seems they were tweeted at the height of LeBron’s “villain years” while he was on the Heat. Yikes.

K-Baze here isn’t exactly having the best 24 hours. First he declares the Hawks a better team than the Cavs after they got worked in the first 2 games, then he gets tweets from 5 years ago dug up asking if “LeBron was gay,” calling him a “pussy,” and knighting him with the nickname “lil blow job.”

This is a great thing for LeBron and the Cavs. With the series looking all but over it’ll provide some manufactured motivation for games 3 and 4. If the Cavs and LeBron were feeling any sort of complacency (I doubt they were) this’ll light a fire under their ass.

Huge thanks to Scott from waitingfornextyear.com for sending the screenshots over. Go read them. They’re the OGs of the Cleveland blog scene and put out fantastic stuff.

PS- If we’re being honest, these tweets from Bazemore here are pretty G-rated compared to the tweets I sent about LeBron from 2010-2013.
