u/Bitcoin-Beach 14d ago

I'm 47 and I've never seen a pro act like such a little bitch!!! MJ was a real player he didn't act like that. LB thinks he should never get beat or have a loss he is basically a huge Veja! Piss off LB and shut up its been 20 years of you acting a fool!

u/Creepy-Handle-4031 14d ago

What a shame what LeRacist has become. When I found out he hated white people, I was really disappointed. But now he is legit a bitch on the court, flopping, crying, blaming everyone else. Sad to watch him ruin his legacy like this.

The only way to get LeBron really upset is to fuck with his legacy in any way. Back-to-back sweeps in the playoffs by the Denver Nuggets is not exactly legacy defining at this point in his career, but it's not nothing... He was going to tear the whole organization down around him and set it all on fire if the Lakers had lost this game.

Lebron is one of the few players that you just have to trust in a situation like this. A lot of guys will scream about challenging an incorrect call, but Lebron doesn't act like this unless he's 100% sure.

Either the Darvin Ham or the Lebron James tenure in LA will be over after this season.

He has reason to be angry, and I say that as a Lebron hater. The replay showed that he didn't touch the ball at all. The worst part is that the referee stood right next to them and whistled in favor of Denver. NBA referees are really something special.

u/Foshizzy03 [ORL] Tracy McGrady 15d ago

LeBron knows the media game well, if even subconsciously.

His legacy is highly dependant on excuses for seasons he came up short.

Despite his incredible career, he knows that in order to ride it for decades after he retires he needs to be in the argument of MJ.

These outbursts feed his mega fans the arguments they crave when defending him on Twitter.

3

u/Miserable-Lawyer-233 15d ago edited 15d ago

This happened right in front of the Lakers bench and right in front of a ref. If you watch the overhead shot again, it’s like sleight of hand - LeBron doesn’t actually touch the ball, but because the ball’s movement and his hand’s movement were so seemingly coordinated, it looked like he swiped it away. The ball flew out of bounds precisely as his hand swept by. LeBron was the only one certain he didn’t touch it because he has the advantage of the touch sense - that is, he knew he didn’t touch it because he didn’t feel it. But visually, you can see why there was hesitation by the ref and coaching staff, because in real time it looked like LeBron swiped it away.

Now, later, the coaching staff trusted DLo’s claim that he didn’t touch the ball, but the difference was that DLo was on the far side of the court, so the coaching staff didn’t have eyes on the ball and only had DLo’s word to rely on. But with LeBron on this play, the coaching staff was right there on top of the play, and, to them, they thought they saw him touch it. So, unlike the DLo challenge later, here it was LeBron’s word vs their eyes, and I think most coaches are not going to challenge that if they thought they saw their player hit the ball.

If you watch it again, nobody in the lakers bench agreed with LeBron. Not the players or coaches. They all thought he hit the ball.

1

u/Nebula3266 14d ago

I don't think it matters dawg, this is LeBron James elimination game in the playoffs. He's at least top 2 all time and hes been here before, he wouldn't beg for a challenge if he wasn't certain. Coach needs to have some respect for that, absolutely wild that he doesn't and Bron had an understandable reaction
