lebron a class act

[jared1187]

i just want to give him some credit for the way hes acting after the game. If anyone is watching the post game press conference hes giving paul all the credit in the world. Paul seems to be finally getting his due and lebron is fine with that

i dislike lebron too much too agree.

What else is he supposed to say?  When basically every call goes you way in every game, what else can you do but give credit to the other guy?  The guy got all the calls today and they still lose.

i figured that would be the reaction to my comments. I am justg saying i respect more for the way he played as well as the way he acted after the game. I hate lebron less than I used to.

Lebron's a great player. He's going to learn from this, and he'll be back again next year. He's 23!

It's true the refs give him too much leeway but he doesn't need it. I'd take him on my team any day, but he'll probably end up on the Nets.

I agree with the post -- I am a huge Lebron fan and despite the fact that he has mastered the "flop" I think he is great for the league!

I don't have a problem with LeBron James, even though he is yet to commit a foul in his life (he just whines way too much). I do have a problem with the guys that won't blow the whistle on him when they should and then don't allow anyone to breathe within 3 feet of him. Jordan was protected, but even he admitted Kevin McHale never touched him at the end of regulation of Game 2 in the 1st round of 1986. To this day I still believe that was the single worse call in the history of NBA basketball.

IMHO Lebron is ahead of where MJ was at this point in their respective careers...he's gonna win a lot of titles, just not this year

I was thinking the same thing. He is a classy guy. He plays very well, takes a real beating, and never really goes after or "hates" his opponents. It isn't his fault the refs give him all those calls, anyone would take them. Game 6 was the worse refing i think i have seen in a long time!!!!!!

well he could go the pistons route and just blame themselves for a loss, as in "well we let that one get away." it's rare and impressive for an athlete following a loss to credit the victor rather than make an excuse for why you let it slip away.

The L in Lebron is for:



Sorry. Nice to hear him give props to Paul.  He played great in defeat.  Hell of a player.

Then why is it that he scurried off the court without shaking hands with anyone along with Sideshow Bob?  There were quite a few Cavs gracious enough to shake hands after a hard fought series.  LeBaby was not one of them.  Does that irritate anyone else?

This guy is all about himself, has one the biggest egos on the planet, and doesn't even know it.  He is praised for "saying all the right" things to the media, but he talks like hes a 35 year old 15 year veteran and to me comes across like a moron and a tool in the true sense of the word.  I really dislike LeBrick.

"A LeBron James team does not get desperate"?  Take a hike, pal.

The post game handshakes have never been a big part of an NBA playoff series, and is somewhat of a growing recent phenomenon.

It's not the NHL.  I can't knock him for running off the court without shaking hands and making nice/nice.

Fair enough, but what would LeBrick know about that?  Despite his full beard, receding hairline, and burly appearance (hmm..isn't that indicative of something?  nah, I won't go there...), he's 23 years old.

If it is truly a recent phenomenon then wouldn't he be more apt to embrace it?

LeBaby is not a class act - he's a bona fide phony and media Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline..

TP for you.

i'm not sure why everyone wants to stick up for Lebron. i lost a lot of the respect i had for him through this series. he whines more than Steve Nash during games but the national media doesnt show him on camera as much when he has his tantrums.

"besides, dude's lyin' " is the dumbest vitamin water commercial i've ever seen
