I thought, Queen Crab, LJ was a great teammate? Why doesnt he man up and stand next to his team when they lose?

Everyone else did. Kobe did last year, even laast series he came out and said "denver whooped us" Wade manned up. LJ is suppose to be a great teammate and leader yet he hid from the press. I liked LJ but I lost a lot of respect for him for that. Kobe and everyone else came out with their teams after losing finals and playoffs for decades now. LJ is immature and overrated. He is only a good teammate and friend when you are winning, otherwise he leaves you out to dry alone. The coach and team that helped him win the #1 seed, a franchise best and home record. Just because Orl was a tough match up and played like a better team LJ abandoned his teammates and so called friends. All season he talked how he was a good friend of all them and look at him crying like a baby now, wont even come out. All great NBA players in the past atleast came out and said we got out played or we need help and the better team won... Not Queen crab, use to be King crab after he nick named his travel step but now its queen crab

    What up tmpl924,

    i think we can all agree that LeBron is an amazing talent and it's ironic that he gets all the credit in the world for being such a teammate (mainly because he averages more assists than Kobe and Wade) and yet your point is well-taken. In this series where i'm not sure how big of a surprise it was that Orlando took the series (but where Orlando really dominated Cleveland) LeBron showed a bit of his buying into the belief that he's bigger than the team. In their last couple of losses he blasts his teammate for not being able to get a stop (yet he had 7 turnovers in the 4th quarter and OT) and missed 5 free throws in the 4th quarter in the next game. No doubt that Cleveland would not be anywhere near a position to win had LeBron not done what he did throughout the course of the game but it just shows his youthfulness. To not shake hands with the other team- and to avoid the media is just not classy-- and i hope someone lets him know how he should act- because it doesn't matter how talented you are- no one should think they are bigger than the game.

  • LePeasant and his serf crew thought they were too good to join Delonte' West in shaking hands, so now I only respect Delonte' West.
