Normally I'm hesitant to believe stories like this, but this is not the first time I've heard Lebron is Captain McTightWad.

If you keep a restaurant and its staff there until 3:45 am, you should be tipping WAY MORE than 20%!!!!

What's next?  You gonna post a link to a National Enquirer article about how Lebron James is really an alien from planet Z-Delta 9?

Do you even know what Cleveland Scene is?

Dude, as I stated, I'm really hesitant to believe the secondary media papers like the Cleveland Scene. But, this is not the first time I've heard this sh*t about Lebron.

As someone who worked in the restaurant biz for a few years, it's awfully disappointing that these rumors keep coming up.

I would love to back you up on that one...... As a basketball player i see Lebron as one of the  best players in the league, and my favorite one to watch, he is amazing.  As for keeping himself out of trouble like plenty of athletes dont, yay for him im so proud of him acting like a good boy.... but as a person.... and as a guest in a restaurant.... i agree, a total DOUCHE!

I have been a server in the Fairlawn Akron area for 3 years now. And anyone who has ever had the (not so) pleasure of serving Lebron and his (crew) knows that your in for a special treat.

On one occasion Lebron made me have his chicken diced up because he couldnt cut it with his own hands because he might hurt them he said.... then after a rude experience tipped $2.00 on $200.00... Never again will i give him the pleasure of my services.  Ive seen him show up 20 minutes after closing time and demand to be served because hes lebron james damnit!....

My girlfriend, another server in a different Fairlawn Akron area restaurant has been cussed out by lebron  because his buddies apple desert wasnt sizzling enough.. calling her many vulgar names repeating im lebron james...... what an idiot

I have served many atheletes and celebs and heard many horror stories shaq being my favorite ive served... cool dude and good tipper..... but lebron is not the only stingy one.... Tiger woods left a friend of mine 0.00 on 600.00 at steakhouse in akron saying to the manager that he dosnt believe in tipping.... isnt he the highest paid athelete? not sure... but definitely an ass

Wow, Tiger "doesn't believe in tipping?" How about serve yourself then, you sorry mofo. That's got to be one of the sorriest excuses for not leaving a tip I've ever heard. I won't lie, I think that businesses should be required to pay their employees minimum wage, period, but patrons know about tipping when they enter a "sit down" establishment.

BuxBeatMich, that is a terrible story! If I got 15%  tip I was disappointed. But 1% is something that should be a crime.

Lebron has a $90M contract with Nike, plus other endorsements, oh........ and his NBA salary worth mega-millions. And the guy has to go around and pull sh*t like that.

I like Lebron on the court, he's an unbelievable talent. But damn, for a guy who's been lucky enough to get so much, you'd think he'd be the kind of person to dish out some of the money.

You know, lubricate society, and help others out.

Maybe he's just really bad at math. He didn't go to college, you know.

Doesn't surprise me.  What does Tiger and Lebron have in common besides being rich athletes?  You do the math.
