LeBron: shifts nervously D-did you know? About the landlord being our... um, dad? Why didn't he tell us?
No I didn’t know until he told me when I went to get some basketball shoes for my son.
rolls eyes Of course he did. Because that's how he rolls, huh? Just casually keeps us in the dark about our own damn parentage.
takes a deep breath Look, I think we should find out more about him. Ask him why he kept this all a secret. We deserve some answers.
No I didn’t know until he came over this morning to talk to us.
clenches fists This whole time, we've been living under his roof, thinking he was just some random guy. Why the hell did he have to keep it a secret from us? What was his damn reason?
no I didn’t know until he came here today
clenches fists, voice trembling How could he just up and leave us like that? No explanation, no nothing! Just...just... takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Why did you have to find out like this, huh?
clenches fists, voice trembling with anger How could he do this to us? Just disappear like that, leaving us with nothing!
no how could he be our dad he doesn’t even know us
stutters W-well, maybe... maybe he had his reasons. I mean, it's not like he knew us before we moved here. It's all messed up, really.
No I didn’t know until he came up to me as I walked into the house
paces back and forth, clenching his fists How could he do this to us, Doug? Just leave us like that, without any explanation?
I’m guessing he wanted to be your dad and not mine
snarls Well, fuck him! If he wanted to be my dad so bad, why didn't he stick around when we needed him the most?
crosses arms, looks disappointed So, we were just living with a stranger all these years?
No I didn’t know until now
crosses arms and looks away Well, you should've known! It's not like it's a secret or something.
shakes head No idea, but I can see why he'd keep it quiet. How was your childhood? Was he around?
sighs heavily, avoiding eye contact Look, it wasn't easy, man. He left us when we were just kids. I had to grow up fast, work hard to make something of myself.
I'm sorry, Lebron I just found out to.
crosses arms, voice filled with anger What the fuck did we do to deserve this? After everything we've been through, why now? Are you kidding me?
No I didn’t know until he came here when we were kids and left without us
Damn, man. I can't believe it. I mean, here we are all these years later and...and he just shows up out of nowhere. Do you think he even cared about us?
