Title: King James
Post by: superslidetail on July 11, 2007, 07:22:44 PM
Anyone else think this song title is named after Lebron James?  I don\'t know if anyone else follows basketball or not, but most people I would assume has heard of him.  People say he is suppose to be the next Michael Jordan, wears the number 23 as well, and his nickname is King James.  Buckethead had an admiration for Jordan so I was wondering if anyone else was thinking the same thing.

i\'ve always assumed the song is indeed a tribute to King James.

Buckethead is an obvious basketball fan, an appreciator of hard work ethics, and i would bet that Big B even appreciates how nice and upstanding Mr. James is off the court.

No doubt he is playing homage to LeBron with King James!  It is a great tune!

Your theory could very well be true, seems to be the most logical explanation to me. Nice one, I always wondered what the title of that song meant, I\'m no basketball fan so that would have been impossible for me to find out otherwise. Kudos!  8)
