    Agreed. I'm so sick of thread Nazis telling everyone that their thoughts aren't worthy of a new thread when they obviously are.

    Why would you defend such a clear jackass?

    I didn't see him injure it during the game so I'm not sure but it wouldn't surprised me if he did fake it. It has been done before by sever players to screw with their next match up.

    you are a hater. lebron is so confident in himself and the team that (look at his demeanor and how he carries himself).

    maybe he's ACTUALLY injured. it may not be that serious, but he is injured.

    sometimes people try to reach and read too much into things. sometimes it is what it is.

    Lebron is far from a jackass... Maybe you should check out his "More Than A Game" film...

    Yes I'm sure a documentary of Lebron James will objectively depict LBJ as a classy, respectable and selfless guy.

    As a basketball player, LeBron is the best at what he does.

    As a human being, LeBron has faults just like all of us. He'll have his good moments and his bad moments. There's no reason to expect any human to be held to a higher standard than the rest of us. He can be held to a higher standard as a basketball player, but as a human, he should only be expected to be human like everyone else.

    So unnecessary showboating is fine? What? If an average basketball player did that, we would call him a jackass.

    Image if even someone like T-Mac did what Lebron did. Fake an injury and then for no reason throw his warm up stuff away from the ball boy so he can feel like a King

    Nearly everyone in the NBA is a glorified *******. It's the mentality you have to play with. Off the court, pleasantries and manners are important... but on the court you have to do whatever it takes to win, and not let silly distractions like manners and sportsmanship (to an extent) distract you.

    The point is.. the other team is your ENEMY. The players, coach, ballboy, fans... sure... off the court you might be close with the other players, but on the court its win or lose all (especially in the playoffs).

    the only difference is one of them will play the next game, and the other one will sit at home pretend like it's major injury.

    yea, the left handed free throw was such a cry for attention and trying to get potential marketing gimmick out of it....

    its just like when MJ shot the free throw with his eyes closed(except ofcourse he made his) its still a story today, lebron was trying to get his and he said he did it because his arm went numb? Didn't he use and move it fluidly to support the left handed shot, and didn't he just make a shot with his right arm a second earlier?

    From taking Kg's powder throw marketing it as his own for Nike,

    to threatening to leave a team and management who served him undeniably to contend for a team with a bigger market,

    and to constantly referring himself in 3rd person and refusing to shake hands bc 'he is not a loser' (like the 50 years of professionals before him in the nba?)

    to saying he changed his number to respect mj bc he is a student of the history of the game, then changing his number to 6 which was dr j's and bill russell(who won the most championships ever)'s jersey number, I guess he thinks they don't deserve that respect as well? (there is a student who didn't study his history properly)

    -he must think fans are idiots with his gimmick, im sick of this guy, yea he is a physical beast, but just annoying, what kind of star dances on sidelines in midgame, how would he react if the other team did it while he was losing...doesn't know what it means to be a professional, just chasing camera and money(hence leaving team usa to make a movie)

    all this makes me appreciate another upcoming star in the league, kevin durant, his mentality has been refreshing compared to diva's like lebron

    why would you go out of your way to think that a wincing James, shooting left handed, is faking an injury?
