Congratulations to the Magic for a great series victory. After the game the usual series ending congratulatory handshakestook place. Lebron exited the court immediately at games end ... what a punk. Left the court, would not talk to any reporters ... class act there Lebron ... real class act and great example of how to be a superstar sore loser.

Go back in history and remember how the great ones reacted. Ali, who a lot of people thought as mouthy, was always available in defeat. After a tour player told Tiger that the people paid to see him win or lose, he made himself available no matter what. I'm sure Russell would have made himself available..........
I'm too much of a hometown boy to put up with anyone's disloyalty. Could you imagine a Celtic player who grew up in Boston and then wore a Yankee cap to a Sox game? That instantly turned me off.

Don't forget Kobe ... who wells knows people hate him. Congratulating every Celtic and answering every question after the game. No fluff, no excuses he acted like the team leader he was supposed to be.
Lebron is a punk who has been spoiled in the game since he was a kid.
This is the same LeBron that has been eager to talk after sweeping each of the Cavs first and second round opponents. The same LeBron that "doesn't do radio" yet went on the Dan Patrick Show two weeks ago to interview with the best show on the radio
Of course it didn't hurt that the interview would end up in Sports Illustrated either.
"I was leaving late one night, and this tall skinny kid approached me holding a pizza box. I said, "I know who you are, you're Tom Brady, sixth-round pick from Michigan." And he replied, 'and I'm the best decision this organization has ever made.' I was stunned. The amazing thing is he didn't say it to be arrogant...he was sincere. I went home and told everyone about it." - Bob Kraft
Brady and Belichick have also been criticized for their behavior as well after losses.
Just let it go. Lebron is what, only 23 years old?
Since when? Belichick's early exit after the SB loss was a misunderstanding, he thought the game was over. And I've never heard anything about Brady after a loss - after the SB, he shook hands and was available to the press.
To me, the hand-shaking thing isn't really that big a deal anyway, is he a sore-loser? Maybe. But not talking to the press makes him a bad teammate. He's the star of that team, he has to accept responsibility, and part of that responsibility is talking to the press - owning up for the loss, not putting that burden onto his teammates instead. Basically, he threw them under the bus.

What a gag job, one of epic proportions; had they not won game 2 with a miracle shot, the Cadavers would have been swept, a team that the whole world thought was a shoe in for the finals.
James showed me nothing in this series, he's not an elite player like Jordan, Bird, Magic, Bryant, ie, somone who can rise to the occasion and carry his team.
Nope.
