We are all witnesses. But not everything about the LeBron is worth witnessing. Sure, he has the $400,000 car, Jay-Z in his corner, and Phil Knight wrapped around his diamond pinkie ring. But witness how His Greatness treats the little people, and you may begin to see the virtue of Brendan Haywood's hard fouls.
One of LeBron's favorite places to dine is XO Prime Steaks on West Sixth. Its mix of swank drinks and delicately massaged beef allows the Chosen One to consume calories worthy of his royal digestive system. All of which is swell — except that LeBron is among Cleveland's stingiest tippers.
According to a Punch source, a peer recently quit after tiring of LeBron going Scrooge McDuck on his ass.
It went down like this: LeBron pulls up in his Mercedes outside XO. People stop and try not to stare, but c'mon, it's LeBron James. He enters the restaurant with a group of friends. On this special occasion, the King decides to dine late. He keeps his group there until around 3:45 a.m. During this time the waiter obsequiously pours drinks and fetches anything else His Greatness needs.
The final bill comes to $800. By the feudal laws of decorum, which stipulate that the affluent should administer a 20 percent gratuity, staffers figured they'd be pocketing an extra $160. But when they fetched the autographed bill after His Heinousness bolted back to Akron, their expectation turned to disbelief, then anger.
LeBron stiffed them with a meager $10 tip. This is what French nobles like to call your requisite Bourgeois *****-Slap. The waiter wouldn't even take it, tired of being shat on by guys like LeBron.
Still, at least the self-proclaimed King of Ohio didn't pull a Bernie Kosar — who gets sloshed at the bar and then has to remind the waiters of who he is before he stiffs them.

jesus all that money he makes, he couldn't tip the guy at least 50 bucks?
this isn't the 1st time i've heard of something like this, my friend used to work at a mariott hotel, one of the redskins linebackers came there one night to get a room, my friend told him the fee per night and he asked him if he could stay in for free since he plays for the skins.
seriously wtf, you make millions of dollars a year, you're already way overpaid for what you do (IMO), and you can't even afford to shell out $80-$150 ???
cheapskates!
95% of black people don't tip for ish. The last 3 things you want, as a waiter:
#3. Kids. Leave them at home.
#2. Table of women. You can eat salad and drink water at home.
#1. Black people. I'm not wasting my time if you're not going to 'waste' your money.
These are not opinions, they are facts. I have 6 years of research.
I'm a bigger tipper than LeBron!
