What a fucking baby.

That's it Lebron, show the kids that it's ok to snub your competititor after a loss.

If only his sportsmanship was half that of his actually athletic ability.

Someone give this 5-0 the 4-1-1

LeBron = guy who made a bad decision, but I wouldn't label him a douchebag. James has been nothing but great on and off the court, so people shouldn't let this one incident cloud that.

[Chrispy]

I love how he does one thing wrong, not even that bad of a thing and people are ripping into him.
So he was pissed that they lost the series, he should of shook hands but he didn't who cares, get over it and move on.

Who cares?

Some people get pissed as fuck when they lose. Should he have shaken hands? Sure, but who cares?

I'm lmao at all the local WFAN guys who are ripping him for it. Gimme a break.

[FedEx227]

Also you should never have your kids look up to an athlete, that's just trouble waiting to happening.

I don't get this.

He's played somewhere near 350 games in his career including the playoffs.

He doesn't shake hands once.

All of a sudden he is a bad guy?

What about the other 349 times he shook hands?

I see. I figured there had to be one but I didn't see any. Thanks.

Oh shit, people are still talking about this?



As far as the whole Kobe thing, Kobe takes his fair share of abuse as well.

[RainboUnicorn]

Put it in relative terms. Basketball = Life for these guys. It's their jobs, they come out and play for months hoping they might win the championship. Only player in the NBA who might have more pressure to win a championship on them besides LeBron is Kobe. After all this hard work, and everything going great, he loses in the Conference Finals, one step away from a championship.

Imagine you've been working for months on end trying to get a promotion. You've got the best resume for the promotion (Cavs easily had the best resume for the ship) and then someone who had a great resume but not quite the same as yours, comes in and gets the promotion over you. How would you feel?

Not saying it was right that he walked out without saying anything. But he certainly didn't "storm" out of the Arena as many people said, he just simply didn't talk to anybody after the game. He actually congratulated Dwight before the game was even over, but people don't even know that.

I disagree with him when he said he isn't a poor sport though, because what he did is by definition a poor sport. I think he made a mistake, and wouldn't label him a poor sport because of this one incident though. I can only imagine how he was feeling at the time.

It's not the same at all. In the promotion analogy somebody is picking the person who promotes you. The Magic were the better team and they won by beating the Cavs. There is a reason why they have the playoffs.

So after the series the Magic win by beating the Cavs (not by being chosen). So they prove to the cavs they are better. So shake their damn hands you baby LeBron.

10 bucks says if you won the mvp, led your team to the best record in the nba, and was expected by almost every person in america to atleast reach the finals and you didnt, you wouldnt shake handseither

[Macken]

Lebron has been a pretty good role model and let his emotions get in the way. no harm done
