Unsportsmanlike!

Taking a break from the usual LA posts until tomorrow's game 1, I have to comment on this LeBron stunt over the weekend.

Everyone has different opinions on why they think LeBron left the court without shaking any Magic player hands or attending any post-game interviews after their game 6 defeat. But the fact of the matter is, LeBron was wrong. WRONG, I reiterate!

I can understand that you're upset after losing, when you have the type of season him and Cavs had. They finished with the best record in the NBA, the Coach of the Year, and the MVP, but played effortless and looked lost throughout most of the Eastern Conference Finals. But LeBron, you can't blame yourself for the lack of support your getting. He single handily won them two games, and could've been 3 if he would've hit another game winner, but his team just thought watching him score in bunches was fun and would help them advance to the Finals.

That doesn't give him the right to just walk of the court, not shaking anyone's hand or attending the post-game interviews, knowing everyone will be looking at you.

Dwayne Wade, Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, Carmelo Anthony all lost during this post-season, but still had the courtesy to shake their opponents hands and show respect. So he is at fault, and should be looked upon differently.

And what makes it even worse, was the interview he did the following day. He thought by leaving the court early it wasn't unsportsmanlike, and how it was hard for him to shake a person's hand after losing to them. That's BULL! Click Here For Full Interview.

If he could do it during the 16 times the Cavs loss in the regular season, then what's so different from game 6. And don't say its because its playoff basketball, and the intensity as well as passion increases. All the great players in the NBA (past & present) have all lost multiple games, but never let it deteriorate from showing respect to their opposition.

I guess LeBron has something to work on.

David Stern is contemplating on whether he should or shouldn't fine him. The answer should be easy, FINE HIM! How can you let the face of your league disrespect other teams and have no consequence? LeBron has to learn that though you may take heart wrenching losses, but still shake your defeaters hands.

If your Stern, you don't want other players thinking they can do the same, so you have to make an example out of LeBron. The quicker, the better.
