		<description>Al... there&#039;s no doubt BronBron&#039;d rep took a serious blow with his little huff.  Such is the maturing process of a man.  I&#039;m sure he&#039;s regretting the move now.

Now where the heck is Stern&#039;s fine?</description>

&lt;strong&gt;  We may well have seen  worse  or  even have  been part  of that  ourselves  as children.   But here&#039;s a guy who&#039;s  stated that he wants young  kids to  look up to him as well.  So  much for  being &lt;em&gt; role  model !  &lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; 

 &lt;strong&gt;  What  sort of  message  is  he sending to them as well as  his  own  young  son to  begin with ?   Never  mind  the  fact that  Stern  has remained  as  &lt;em&gt; docile  as a  mouse &lt;/em&gt; concerning the incident.  Were it not  a  marquee player  then I  guess  that  individual  would  be  looking  at a  monetary  fine.  &lt;/strong&gt;  

&lt;strong&gt;As  I&#039;d  alluded to  earlier  I  gues  being  &lt;em&gt;  King  LeBron &lt;/em&gt;  does bring  with  it  privileges.  It&#039;s  not  enough that  he  bit_ches and whines  when   he  doesn&#039;t  get  a call.  Now  he  curries  favor even with the &lt;em&gt; commish  &lt;/em&gt;  himself. &lt;/strong&gt; 

&lt;strong&gt;  I  guess with the  sense of a  military  background  and  knowing when  you&#039;re  part of a  team. Then  you  act  as  a  team  and  not  as a  band of self  serving  individuals.  Sportsmanship  ought to  count for  something  in this  day and  age.  But  I  guess not  when  there&#039;s   so  much  money  being  thrown about and  to  be  made.  What is  it  LeBron  himself is  always  saying ?  ....&lt;em&gt;  I want  to  be a  global icon ?  &lt;em&gt;  Well  screw  him  ! As  I seriously   doubt  that  his  idol  ever   carried   on  like  that in terms  of an  opponent !  &lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>He was pissed off, man.  

Was it childish?  Yes.  Was it unsportsmanlike?  Definitely.  Should Stern have fined him on the spot?  Without a doubt.  By not doing so, he set a precedent that the megastar can get away with more.

I&#039;m not condoning his behavior.  But as we&#039;ve seen, there are worse crimes and bigger babies in sports.</description>

&lt;strong&gt;How anyone  can  conceivably  try  and excuse  LeBron&#039;s behavior is beyond  me.   And I  was  also that  postgame  interviews  were  mandatory to  begin with in the NBA ? &lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt; But  yet  there&#039;s been  no  fine  levied  by Stern  or the NBA hierarchy  for  that matter.  So I guess being  known  as  &lt;em&gt;  The  King  &lt;/em&gt;  does  indeed have  its  privileges to  begin  with ?  What sort  of message  does  Stern and the  player himself  want  to  send to  the fans .  But  in particular  the kids  ?  It  pays  not  to  be  sportsmanlike as to how  you  conduct yourself  on the field  of  play  ? &lt;/strong&gt;  


&lt;strong&gt; LeBron  to  my  mind  is  nothing more than a  self  centered  a_hole  to  begin with.  Ever  since  his  days  in high  school  when he  was  driving  round  in a  &lt;em&gt;  $90,000  tricked  out  Hummer  &lt;/em&gt; with  no  visible  means  of  income. Especially when one  considers  the   family&#039;s   socio-economic   background.   They  didn&#039;t have  to  friggin&#039;  cents  to  rub  together.  He&#039;s  been  engratiated and  emboldened all  along   by  others  and  amongst  his  entourage.    &lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Pops... what was the Sports Authority reference?  What did I miss?

Al... I&#039;m okay with LeBron leaving the court all pissy.  I mean he was pretty friggin disappointed.  Although it did show poor sportsmanship and revealed us a little bit into his character which is apparently three parts competitor and one part beyotch.</description>

		<description>Chris  aka  sportschump ...
&lt;strong&gt;  I get the  feeling  your  friend  right  about  now mightn&#039;t be all that happy ? &lt;/strong&gt;  

&lt;strong&gt; He was  probably  one  of the  faithful looking to  see  that &lt;em&gt; Kobe LeBron matchup ....for whatever  it may  well have  been  worth. &lt;/em&gt; The  thing  is  as long as  the Lakers are in the  Finals.  The  ratings  do  tend to be rather good.  I  can  understand any misheld  preconceptions that  there  might be  with the NBA&#039;s hierarchy as  things  haven&#039;t  turned  out  the  way they  might&#039;ve  wanted.  But  it&#039;s  not  going to stop  the  millions  that&#039;ll  come pouring  into their  coffers. 
&lt;/strong&gt;   

&lt;strong&gt;  As for the Magic  I just hope that they&#039;ll  put  the  frighteners  on the  Lakers and their  fans.  Far too  many of &#039;em  are  of the  opinion that  the  Magic  are  ripe  for  the taking.  When in  actuality at  this  juncture  nothing  could be  further  from the truth.  &lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Chris  &lt;strong&gt;  It&#039;s  good  to see LeBron  showing what  a  &lt;em&gt;  classless  piece  of  turd &lt;/em&gt;  he  really  is  !  Not wanting to  shake  hands  with an  opponent  after  a  loss is  one thing. But  then  to  state   &lt;em&gt;  ...you&#039;d  sent  Dwight  an  e-mail  congratuling  him  on the win&quot;.&lt;/em&gt;  It merely  shows  how  naive  and immature  you  really  are  ! And  he  thinks  by doing  that  people&#039;ll  view him  in a  better  light ?  &lt;/strong&gt;    

&lt;strong&gt;  LeBron  really needs  to  get a  damn  clue  ! He&#039;s  not  the  man  he  really  thinks  that  he  is  when  he acts  like  a  prebuscent   child  to  begin with  !  Much as  in the  same  way   Cavs&#039;   coach  Mike Brown  really  needs to  get  a  clue.  &lt;/strong&gt;      

&lt;strong&gt;This upcoming series  against  the  Lakers&#039;ll be  a  really  interesting  one.  As  it&#039;s  by no  means  a  foregone  conclusion  that everything&#039;ll be in the  Lakers&#039;  favor.   The  key  to  this  all  for  the  Lakers may  well  be  how Gasol  comes  out   for those  first two  games.  If the Magic  can  keep  him  as  well as  Kobe  in  check.  Then  they&#039;ll  definitely  will  be  in  with a  chance  of winning  the  series.  &lt;/strong&gt;  </description>
