CLEVELAND -- LeBron James' latest Nike commercial is smart and funny and, at the same time, more proof that he still doesn't get it.

Good as they are, the marketing pros at Nike can only do so much. Left to his own devices, James has become a public relations doofus.
The best parts of the Nike commercial: his "role model" dig at Charles Barkley, complete with donut in hand; and the Don Johnson "Miami Vice" cameo.
It's smart and funny in pieces. Taken as a whole, it's LeBron feeling sorry for himself because ... well, I'm not sure why.
Because he took some real criticism for the first time in his life?
The video asks, "Should I be who you want me to be?"
That's the ultimate trick question, of course.
Here's some after-the-fact advice that someone in his camp should've given him before hand:
Be respectful enough of Cleveland not to revel in a one-hour special dedicated to his leaving.
Be the kind of guy who calls and thanks ownership, team officials and fans for seven great years.
That's what people wanted you to be.
It's simple really.
Above all, don't be a jerk and don't play the victim. That pretty much covers it.
Especially don't play the victim in a commercial created to sell more shoes.

Ohio radio host, witch doctor try to curse LeBron
CLEVELAND – A radio host in Cleveland has hired a witch doctor in an attempt to send some bad mojo to basketball star LeBron James after he ditched the Cavaliers to play for the Miami Heat.
WMMS-FM broadcast the hex ceremony Tuesday morning, hours before the Heat's season opener in Boston.
The radio station says a witch doctor used bones, blood and a James jersey to cast a curse on the two-time MVP.
The host of "Rover's Morning Glory" says it's payback for the way James called it quits with the Cavs earlier this year.
