| OK, so we all know who's playing the Finals, however they dont involve Kobe v. Lebron(well #23 anyways)-if you saw the end of the game, you would have noticed Lebron, the face of his franchise, immediately leaving the court, no handshakes, no congrats, nothing. I took quick notice of this, taking me back to my sports days (You lose a game, congratulate the winner, show some respect for the game and the winning team-Especially the losing team captain). Granted, i know this dude was super-pissed, but c'mon, he's the league's MVP, he shouldve known better and at leeeast shake D.Howard's hand. Your opinion...... | |

| It happens sometimes. Lebron does not have a history of this. Even if he did, he is only accountable to his team and no one else. Lebron had to do too much in the series, and i'm sure his actions were out of frustration. I don't think he meant to disrespect Orlando. I do think Lebron needs to look in the mirror though. He had too many costly turnovers in the 4th quarter of a few games. Kobe does not make those mistakes, and that is why he is still better than LBJ. | |

| Yeah he meant no malice by b-lining it off the court. Purely frustration. | |

Im co-signing the frustration part-however he's a professional and it showed lack of character.
Another reason why i believe Manny Ramirez should not play(if im not mistaken he returns July 3rd, the A.S Game is the 14th) the ALL*STAR Game....You can't be an all star if youve been suspended for taking a banned substance- but thats beside the point, lets stay on the subject..lol- | |

| The only way Manny plays in the AS Game is if the fans vote him in as a starter, and if so, he should play because the game is for the fans. | |

What do you mean by alternate starters? If the fans select Manny, it is his decision to whether he plays. As far as scandals, most baseball fans don't care about steroid use. | |

"As far as scandals, most baseball fans don't care about steroid use."
This is what i mean, he has a possibility of making the team, I, however, do not feel he deserves that role...but according to my argument, i'm in the minority....lol

| The fans will vote for Outfielders, and the top 3 vote getters will start the game. | |

| If he isn't one of the top 3 outfielders voted in, he won't make the team. The fans don't have anything to do with the reserves. | |

| There's no excuse for it, it's just bad sportsmanship, and by his response, it's clear he really doesn't even get it. I guess it's no surprise he's immature though. | |

That is complete and total BS. He made ONE mistake. This dude has had so much attention since he was 16, and he's always handled it class and maturity. You never hear his name out there like Melo, Kobe, AI, Josh Howard, Zach Randolph, and others. | |

| I mean....he is 24 yrs. old, but in American organized sports, starting from child oriented sports, we're taught to accept winning and losing in a 'mature' way, i.e shaking hands, team chants for the losing team at the end of a game;so myself, as a person who grew up involved in sports, i sorta just cant really dismiss this behavior. | |

"You never hear his name out there like Melo, Kobe, AI, Josh Howard, Zach Randolph, and others" ..Im not following. | |

| He didn't make one mistake, he made two here. Walking off the court, then a bullshit excuse that shows a lack of understanding about basic sportsmanship. This is a clear sign of immaturity in my opinion.
He doesn't have a big past of this, but this was really his biggest test on court, he came in expected to win, he didn't, and he acted like a baby. | |

He did act like a baby in this case, but please detail his history of immaturity. This was an isolated incident. | |

But I HAVE TO cosign below..
"He doesn't have a big past of this, but this was really his biggest test on court, he came in expected to win, he didn't, and he acted like a baby."
This series, so far, was the peak of his competitive career, and he showed the fans that this king has the ability to act like sore loser when he loses grip of a big win. If youre going to be a "King", be a king thru the thick and thin....he's still one of the best, just has some growing up to do in parts... | |

I agree that this was the most pressure he was under, and he made a mistake. I hope he doesn't make a habit out of this. | |

| i hate Lebron and the Cavs and couldnt be happier that the Magic won, and this is just another action that shows he thinks hes better than everyone.
Not only did he nickname himself "King James", his license plate reads :"KINGOFOH", and he has a tattoo on his back that says "Chosen One"
i think hes taking the fun out of the game always complaining like a cry baby bitch to the media after games too
Lebron was asked about his actions after the game and he actually said that when a team whoops his teams ass he doesnt feel the need to congratulate them and wouldnt want to or something along those lines | |

| I don't blame him. His teammates sucked ass save for Game 5. He played his ass off and has nothing to show for it. I hope he leaves Cleveland and goes to my Knicks, where they'll have cap money to sign him AND another star player, which is more than what he currently has in Cleveland. |

No, the peak of his competitive career was two years ago when he made the Finals against the Spurs and got swept. I don't blame him for responding the way he did. As a former athlete, I was the same way after a loss, especially a loss against a team I felt we should have beaten despite the fact I played my ass off. |

KJ, he said it was his biggest test on the court. There was no pressure on LBJ in the finals because they were not expected to be there, let alone win. This year, LBJ was the MVP. His team had the best record in the NBA, and he couldn't get past the Magic. LBJ was under enormous pressure in that series, and you could see the pressure getting to him. | |
