I said LeBron James had been my guidance counselor in high school, and he completely failed to motivate me to succeed, and that's why I was a failure and had to join the Air Force And they just... believed it Completely Unquestioningly

You should've told them that your mama always said LeBron James was your real dad and you grew up resenting him for never coming back and lifting you out of poverty but now that you're older you realize she was just trying to spare your feelings
