LeBron and Everything We Need to Learn About Being Sports Fans Comes From One Scene in 'A Bronx Tale'
"Are you a Yankee fan? Sit down. Come over here. Sit next to me. You must be pretty upset after the Yankees lost."
"Bill Mazeroski, I hate him. He made Mickey Mantle cry. The papers said the Mick cried."
"Mickey Mantle? That's what you're upset about? Mantle makes $75,000 a year. How much does your father make?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know. If your dad needs money, go ask Mickey Mantle. See what happens. Mickey Mantle don't care about you. Why care about him? Nobody cares."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Did you shoot that man over a parking space?"
"When you get older, you'll understand."
"From that day on, I never felt the same about the Yankees."
