QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 06:11 AM) Put what he did in the context of a lower level of competition. For someone to leave the court before congratulating the other team and thereafter not join teammates post-game would be viewed as selfish and everyone here knows it. That's exactly what it is. If pre-teens can shake hands after a game, a 24 year old Lebron can. It's not overreacting either, at least for me. Yes, what he did wasn't terrible, but to dismiss what happened because of his competitiveness is a bit ridiculous. So, what exactly does it say that Lebron doesn't shake hands after a loss because he's competitive, yet his teammates do? Wait, are they not competitive then in Lebron's eyes? If there is some differing definition of what it means to be competitive, one of their coaches should step in and tell Lebron he's wrong, or the team they're wrong. Someones wrong in this picture. Teammates should be together on and off the court. Also, does anyone think Lebron tells kids across Ohio and elsewhere, when visiting middle schools, that not showing sportsmanship is ok because storming off the court proves to everyone how competitive you are? Of course not. It's the epitome of a superstar ego being deflated. Great post I guess for those who support LeBron's unwillingness to show sportsmanship should just tell to shut up because we are Witnesses to the Chosen 1,King James!! What others like Bird,Magic,Jordan,Wilt,Dr J,Kobe,Shaq etc..did after losing DOES NOT APPLY to King James dammit!

QUOTE (Ron @ May 31, 2009 -> 08:51 PM) LeBron comments on last night: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/200...tory?id=4219933 What I want to know is...did he come up with that since the Magic beat him or did he also go off the court without congratulating his opponents since he's been a pro.Did he do that to the Spurs when they beat him in the Finals?If so,why didn't we ever hear about his unwillingness to be gracious in defeat. From now on it would be funny to see opponents he beats in the future not aknowledge him,just walk off the court,what class! He can spin it all he wants,he looked like a little b**** sore loser...next time take the ball with you before time expires,juniour.

What the hell has gotten into these guys?They are actually winning o_o

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ May 31, 2009 -> 09:08 AM) Also, LeBron got off the team bus according to Craig Sager and didn't go back to the hotel with his teammates or even fly home. Instead, he called his mother and will be staying in Orlando for awhile with her. So apparently, the guy doesn't even care about his teammates. You win as a team, you lose as a team. His supporting cast being bad is a poor excuse because in the regular season, everyone was up in arms about how great of a supporting cast they have and how they are so great defensively. I never got why so many guys see him as classy. He took the Hummer in high school which his mother couldn't afford, He tatooed Chosen1 on his back and started calling himself King James. He also started doing stupid poses before each home game. If Kobe did that, people would be up in arms. LeBron does it any it's okay. Because he smiles alot?

Watching those ads by Vitamin Water and Nike with LeBron and Kobe make chuckle now that they look stupid for getting ahead of themselves. LeBron is amazing but if I had to pick a player for this year,I still gotta go with Kobe. That being said,I hope the Magic beats LA,Laker fans arrogant pricks.

When LeBron comes to Chicago (I know,long shot but what the hell) will he pick a new number because there is no way he's using 23 with the Bulls since it's retired...maybe 32?

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ May 30, 2009 -> 10:02 PM) Great show of sportsmanship from Lebron just walking off the court while his teammates remain to congratulate the Magic. it took MJ a few years to win,did LeBron think he was just going to waltz his way to multiple championships?

What I wanna know is...does Nike have a Dwight puppet waiting on the wings?

Maybe this will make LeBron leave Cleveland...that city never wins anything. Welcome to Chicago,LeBron!We can have another Bulls dynasty with you leading the way!The supporting cast is already set!

Nike is f***ed,no LeBron vs Kobe finals. o_o

lol,I had to laugh at that avatar,Ranger...actually I'm pulling for the Cavs because I thought they would have a better shot at beating LA but I'm not so sure now. Kobe does get all the calls but LeBron is a very close second in that category.

QUOTE (rangercal @ May 29, 2009 -> 01:13 AM) Why even watch if you honestly believe that? Haven't you noticed that every time he drives to the hole and initiates contact,he always get the call?I understand that superstars get the calls but some have been downright ridiculous.

The Magic have to win Game 6 because the refs will make sure LeBron advances in a Game 7.

The Cavs really needed a laugher today,you get the feeling that if it's close in the final seconds,the Cavs will self destruct under the pressure.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 27, 2009 -> 11:37 PM) That's obvious. But let's keep in mind that the Bulls were something like 30-0 in series in which they had the HC advantage during the Jordan era (I.E. they never lost to a team they shouldn't have lost to). And this isn't aimed at you, but I don't want to hear any of this crap of how all of a sudden Lebron doesn't have a supporting cast. You can play that card with D-Wade. The Cavs won 66 games. They went 39-2 at home. They won their first 8 playoff games by an average of 15 PPG or whatever it was. That wasn't all Lebron. Everything had been peaches and cream for them all season long. And when KG went down, it was all but assumed they had the east wrapped up. Now that they've been challenged, they've just about crumbled. And that falls on Lebron just as it does Mike Brown, their coaching staff and the other players. It's easy to look like a great leader when you're winning. True leadership comes when you can survive adversity, turmoil, ect. Doesn't look like Lebron is quite there yet. But but but but,LeBron is better than Jordan,don't you know that??

Anyone remember those annoying Reebok ads prior to the 92 Olympics?The Dave vs Dan commercials,this is gonna be Nike's version of that marketing flop

Sox have won 13 of the last 18 games at the Big A...

And this game is ova!!Great 2 games so far.

f***

Come on Scott,bring it home
