Written by SOURCE on March 2, 2019
A new episode of LeBron James‘ HBO show The Shop has arrived.
The episode, which features appearances from Antonio Brown, Anthony Davis, Jamie Foxx, Meek Mill, 2 Chainz, and Jerrod Carmichael, touched on a variety of topics.
During the segment, Brown talked about his current situation and his desire to be traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers. “That’s the narrative they try to create once you doing your own thing,” Brown said. “‘Yo, this guy a distraction. He this type of guy.’ All I’ve ever been was a guy who came from Central Michigan, sixth round who worked his ass off.”

“The type of guy he is. He feels like he’s the owner. Bro, you threw the shit to the D-lineman! What the f*ck? I’m over here wide open. You need to give me a better ball,” Brown remarked, per CBS Sports. “But it’s like in the league, you’re going to have a guy from the team that’ll be like, boy, you can’t say nothing. I need you to get out there like, but it’s like why I got to be acting?”
It’s not the first time Brown has spoken on his problems with Roethlisberger. He previously took to Twitter to make similar comments.
No conflict just a matter of respect! Mutual respect! He has a owner mentality like he can call out anybody including coaches. Players know but they can’t say anything about it otherwise they meal ticket gone. It’s a dirty game within a game. #truth https://t.co/MsSyBVd3Ny

The episode also saw LeBron drawing a comparison between Brown and Anthony Davis, who is in a similar situation, albeit in the NBA instead of the NFL. “It’s the same thing that’s happening with AD right now,” LeBron began. “Seven years in the league and no one has said anything…not nobody has ever said anything negative about AD. But you tell when the narrative change when you don’t do what they want you to do.” Davis, who plays for the Pelicans, made it known that he wanted out from New Orleans.
