Wrong year, I remember on the elimination game just after the buzzer, he ran for the locker room and the jersey was already off. No congrats to anybody.

Ok, I think that was the incident I mentioned against the Magic

He stormed off the court after the Game 7 2008 loss in which he had 45, did not take off shirt but stormed off court without congratulating, not a lot of sportmanship.... I'm not blind, he has made mistakes. He's learned from them, and I love him as a player.

Unless the rumors of him returning to Cleveland are true...

Will still love him as a player, but not a micrometer after that

I do remember that incident now. Thanks for the reminder. Athletes have their own ways of acting like spoiled brats. There's no need to throw out names. They do it consistently more than Bron does, yet they aren't hated as much. I imagine those that hate Miami/Bron are fans of other teams and vice versa towards other players/teams.

I'm a fan of the sport and I abhor what it has become.

The NBA has become a simple advertising... not like it was before, where it was mostly about the game... now it's just ratings...

I would agree that the league has become more about selling out, but I don't want to acknowledge it yet.

I can't wait for the day when David Stern finally retires. Is that next year?

I hope Hibbert can learn from Paul George as he seems to have matured faster.

Now I get it. Because Hibbert isn't LeBron, you can make fun of him for crying. But no one is allowed to make fun of LeBron for crying?

Also, the fact that Hibbert is 7'2" means absolutely nothing.

Lebron fans... Lebron is always right... everyone else is wrong...

But how far is the league willing to go to secure those ratings (and the bigger dollars that go along with them)?

Stop trades, fine/suspend certain players while letting others have a free pass to say and do as they please, quietly stifle any criticism of the league (even if it is legitimate), influence refs, fix games.....

I believe so...
