NBA legend LeBron James has been savaged online by ex-baseball player Aubrey Huff, who suggested that the LA Lakers star 'may want to move to China' after his controversial tweet about a US police shooting. The abuse comes as part of backlash to a now-deleted tweet James sent.
Former MLB player and World Series champion Aubrey Huff has been in the middle of a social media beef with Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman. Huff has been outspoken against the NASCAR-Bubba Wallace situation, in which a noose was seen hanging in the driver's garage, claiming the whole situation is a hoax. While nothing came of the FBI investigation surrounding the incident, both Stroman and Huff have still been going at it via Twitter. Huff posted a two-minute video on his profile in response to Stroman calling him a racist for being unreasonably argumentative regarding the sensitive situation.
I’m tired of being called a racist because I can think for myself. You just assasinated my character on a public platform @STR0. I’m coming for you! @Mets@mlb#BubbaSmollettpic.twitter.com/JBHWgRveRo
— Aubrey Huff (@aubrey_huff) June 24, 2020Yikes. This is not a good look for Huff. While Stroman and others from MLB Twitter have called out Huff’s previous mishaps on Twitter, this video does not help to dig Huff out of the hole he's already in.
To make matters worse, when Stroman questioned if Huff is a racist, Huff gave a response that did not help his case whatsoever.
Come on bro I hit way more home runs off white guys than black guys. @STR0#allpitcherslivesmatter@MLBhttps://t.co/VgfpwZ4Vdf

Taking time out of your day to make a two-minute video going off on a rant that does not make much sense is already a problem. Calling out an All-Star pitcher and saying, “I’m coming for you,” is not the best way to end this video. Huff needs to get it together, or someone needs to just take his phone away so we don’t have to hear this nonsense.
In his early years he could be found practicing baseball in his yard religiously. Staying up late, getting up early and practicing every day. He dedicated himself to mastering the sport so he could make good on his promise to his mother.
While the years ticked by, the pain of losing his father was still very present and affected him greatly. In high school he was very shy and lacked confidence. He wasn’t popular or even particularly good at baseball despite the fact he practiced every day. During his senior year in high school, Aubrey only hit .300 with 1 home run. This lackluster performance left him without a scholarship offer to play college baseball upon graduation. He was devasted because he had worked so hard, yet here he was.
However, he had made a promise to his mother, and he wasn’t about to abandon that. Filled with determination and a never say die attitude instilled in him by his hardworking mother and because he loved the game, he walked on to Vernon Regional Junior College in Texas and got a chance to play. There he blossomed as a man and a player. His freshman year he was first team all-conference for the Chapparals hitting a whopping .417 with 17 home runs and 61 RBIs.
From college he fulfilled his dream and that promise. He made it to the majors and bought his mother that house and car. His career in the majors was successful and spanned 13 seasons. He played for the Tampa Bay Rays, Houston Astros, Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, and finished off his career with two World Series Championships (2010, 2012) as a San Francisco Giant. He retired in 2012 with a career average of .278 with 242 home runs, and 904 RBIs.
Aubrey’s journey on and off the field taught him many things with the most important being that he learned what it took to become a man. Not having a father teach him the ways of masculinity left him searching during those years with him sometimes being forced to learn the hard way. His many struggles included alcoholism, drug use, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and finding purpose after his major league career was over. During those dark times, Aubrey was able to come back, much like he when he walked on at Vernon Regional Junior College.

Aubrey has since found the purpose he sought after retiring professional baseball, he’s now a mentor, teacher and guide for other men that struggle with the same issues he had suffered through. He has a passion for speaking and does so all over the country, he shares with thousands of people his inspiring journey to the big leagues, and how he went from being suicidal after the game was over to the man, and the father he is today.

When Aubrey isn't counseling others or sharing his fearless world view to the masses, he can be found with his two boys. It’s his role as father, that he considers the most important thing in his life.
While Aubrey may have made his mark as a baseball player...he now enjoys painting custom art pieces for his fans.
