I will be honest and say that Lebron really did disappoint me

<< < (3/9) > >>

OchoCinco:
Dwights thoughts.

When asked about LeBron's disappearing act, Howard said he received a congratulatory, late-night e-mail and didn't sound too vexed.

"I just thought he would have said something to me, or said something to the team. He's probably upset, probably hurt and understand that, respect it. One day we'll see each other," he said, "and I'll have to wait until then."

But in the next moment, asked whether he was surprised, Howard barely hesitated.

"Real surprised," he said. No one competes in a sport to make excuses or concession speeches. But being able to make a passable one — even if it's just muttering "well done" in a handshake line — used to be a consequence of losing, a lesson in responsibility.

What James did offended old-school sensibilities, to be sure, but it also sent the wrong message to the guys playing against and especially alongside him at the moment.

If that's his idea of leadership, he's headed in the wrong direction.

Antonio:
Too much pressure on this guy.

Hatesrats™:
When people talk about James they bring up, Whoa! dude is only 24...
So let's chalk this up to his still being a kid.

And move on....
Don't worry CLE he will NY's prob soon enough

First off, the MLB is by far the WACKEST league as I refuse to take seriously any league where that doesn't have a salary cap.  When that happens, I will start watching again.


Second, no one is perfect, not Lebron, Kobe, Jordan, etc.  All these dudes have their flaws, we all hold them to such a high standard (on AND off the the court) that of course they are gonna slip up again.  Up until this stage in his career, Lebron has been gracious in defeat and respectful of teammates and opponents.  I think what we saw was some serious frustration.  What else besides going for 38, 8, and 8, hitting one buzzer beating three, and in another game hitting two foul shots with no time left to tie it up, could he have done? 

Lebron DID disappoint me with the walk-off, but I am feeling his game even more than ever.  I love the Cavs team, but its obvious that if they want to be true contenders they need to make some serious upgrades........and guess who will gave MAJOR cap room after next year???   They need an athletic big who can actually defend, and a guard who can get a hand in the face of shooters, and is a REAL second option.   I'd say a Bosh would be nice, and then an athletic swing man...

Of course, none of that matters if Bron bolts....
