Lebron walked off the court with 10 seconds to go

[GangstaBoogy]

Did he walk off when the clock was stopped or when it was being dribbled out?

when Tyronn Lue (I believe) was dribbling the clock out

Obviously NBA tv cutted it, lol.

yeah they also cut the other 3 that joe johson hit in lebron's face.

[wcsoldier]

Lol at Lebron tryin to block lay-ups but can't touch the ball twice....

[t.c.o.p.]

The new thing to do is to walk off tha court before the games over! Moss did it, Iverson did it.. So lebron was like, I might as well do it too...Expect mehmet okur to walk off the floor tonight with 20 seconds left, hes tha type of dude who just doesnt give a fuck!

According to the FIFA rules that's a tecnical foul.

LeBron miffed at criticism
Cavs' star says he didn't quit on team

CLEVELAND -- Players start slapping palms with opponents and casually strolling toward their respective benches near the end of many NBA games that already are decided.

When LeBron James does it, it's front-page news.

James was vilified in some circles for walking toward his bench after he missed a three-pointer with 15 seconds remaining of Cleveland's overtime loss to Atlanta on Tuesday. The other nine players went the other direction and crossed half-court as Atlanta dribbled out the clock.

Speaking for the first time since the incident blew up, James denied that he left the court and, more vehemently, that he deserted his teammates.

"I stayed on the court until the buzzer and even said something to Joe Johnson on his way out," James said. "It's a simple fact it was kind of frustrating to lose that game. But as far as quitting on my teammates, that's crazy."

James, deified since high school, knows all about scrutiny and said the criticism doesn't bother him.

"I know what kind of player I am and how I approach the game," James said.

Bulls coach Scott Skiles believed too much was made of the story, saying James shouldn't be singled out for something that occurs with frequency.

"It wasn't like [the Cavs] were pressing," Skiles said. "I think it's a non-issue."

But Skiles also flashed his old-school roots.

"I've seen Reggie Miller score eight points in nine seconds (actually 16), so it has happened," Skiles said. "I'm not sure why any player would not stay with it right until the buzzer sounds."

James added one more thought.

"If we would have won the game, it never would have been mentioned," James said.

lebron is young , yeah , but he's like a month older than me , and IIIIIIII know not to do that. if i ever did that in highschool my coach would've bitten off my balls with a platnum vampire grill like rza's

[africas seed]

lebron made a mistake and so did moss. it was out of frustration due to the circumstances of losing but with both being the leaders of their team they shouldve known better. knowing that however no one is perfect and the media making a big deal out of this is pathetic  and is just the type of thing the media does. i read somewhere that lebron did wait till the clock ran out so that does change it a bit but nonetheless just a poor decision on his part but he does have a point if they were winning and he did the same thing there would be no issue. and if kobe did this he would get nailed to the cross.

what an asshole

["THE" MoSav]

If he started to walk off while the clock was being dribbled out, players always start coming to greet each other so what if Lebron went off the game was over

[R-Tistic]

I guess u didn't watch ESPN the same day as me....they talked about that shit ALL day. They weren't really dissin him hard for it, but they DEFINITELY questioned the hell out of it, and kept talkin about it and showin it.
