The Miami Heat have lost four out of their last five games. Analysts can
blame this losing spell on a number of things, including fatigue. You might have seen the reigning MVP
promoting Samsung's phablet on television, and unlike Ellen, the Miami Heat star actually does use his Samsung phablet wherever he goes.
So
what is it about James' phablet that has him so pre-occupied? According
to a tweet sent out by LeBron (his @KingJames Twitter site is widely
followed), his phone just rebooted and wiped out all of the memory on
the unit. LeBron called it one of the sickest feelings he ever had in
his life. Um, LeBron, remember that Game Six loss to Dallas in the 2011
NBA Finals? Or even tonight's one point loss to Brooklyn?LeBron pulled the tweet, but it was probably not met with smiles in
Korea where Samsung is based. After all, Sammy does pay LeBron
handsomely to promote the company's mobile devices. Still, LeBron's
phablet did stop working and he is pissed just like any of us would be
if our phone just rebooted and did an unwanted memory wipe.Considering Nokia's recent attempt to insinuate itself in situations like this, we would have expected a note to LeBron from the Finnish handset manufacturer along with a new Nokia Lumia 1520.
But surprise! It was the marketing challenged HTC that sent a tweet to
James telling him that the world's best player needs the world's best
smartphone. Well, you can see that HTC still doesn't have this marketing
thing down because nowhere does it say the name of the device that is
the best smartphone in the world. If we were running HTC's U.S. based
marketing, we would have made sure that an HTC One max was on the way to LeBron and his teammates in Miami.
