Not The Onion: Comey Says He Modeled His Management Of The FBI After LeBron James

What. The. F**k.

This is beyond embarrassing, at this point. It’s freaking painful.

Comey says he modeled his management of the FBI after LeBron James — and says he used the NBA superstar’s never-ending desire to win to motivate the organization.

WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF.

According to TMZ:

James Comey says he modeled his management of the FBI after LeBron James — and says he used the NBA superstar’s never-ending desire to win to motivate the organization.

Yeah, he’s being 100% serious.

Comey appeared on “Good Morning America” and said, “I admire LeBron James. I used to talk about him all over the FBI.”

“He illustrates what the endless pursuit of excellence looks like.”

Comey says he was incredibly impressed by how LeBron pushes himself every offseason — finding parts of his game to make better.

During his run as FBI director, Comey says he would tell his staff to be more like LeBron … “We have to find parts of our game to make better.”

He also said (close your ears, Bulls fans) that LeBron is undoubtedly the best basketball player alive.

This is 100 layers of pathetic.

He’s trying SO HARD to be liked.

Oh, honey. This isn’t earning you any points. You just look like a loser.
