Re: No one on the Heat shook hands with the Lakers other than UD
Lol at people comparing this to some of the Lakers walking off in Game 4. I think you guys know it's not the same thing at all.
That said, they're sore losers but I don't have a problem with that, especially with a fairly young team. They'll learn to conduct themselves better.

The Lakers had a LOT of mouths on that bench that I'm sure didn't go unnoticed over the course of 6 games. Win with class, and I'm sure the losers would be a lot more incentivized to take the loss with class.
For real. Not to mention, I’m sure the Heat feel some kind of way about their injuries, especially the ones that Dwight caused. The media just kinda glossed over it, but he was acting like a full on goon all series.

Re: No one on the Heat shook hands with the Lakers other than UD
Honestly who gives a ****. If a player wants to walk out early, so be it. If a team doesn't want to shake hands, so be it. I swear some of you have a handshaking fettish and make this a bigger deal than it really is.

Your irony is showing
Your lack of ability to reply with anything but snide bull is showing. Address what I said? Nope. Just keep suckling on the LBJ teat my friend.
You need me to respond to you saying LeBron cries about calls? I see this posted a dozen times a day, it’s a tired take. Apologies that some people are sick of hearing it.
Again, your post was the epitome of ironic.

Truth/Irony must be a blurry line for you. Truth hurts big guy. The man you stan is an entitled child. Albeit a very talented child, but a child nonetheless. I judge a man by the content and quality of their actions.
I see a grown man conducting himself like that, I call it out. You don’t have to like it, but the proof is in every game he has played for a couple years now. He wasn’t like this even a few years ago

What does this have to do with what I posted? Jesus Christ people have no ability to discern anymore. No current player is on LeBron’s level

Did I dispute the fact that he complains to the refs? He complains to the refs, awesome! Now what?
Nothing is hurting right now to be honest, little man. Last night was amazing. You came in here sounding like a hurt ex girlfriend. It’s all good though, when LeBron retires, you might let it go. Still have a few years left, but I have faith that you can be whole again.

Re: No one on the Heat shook hands with the Lakers other than UD
I actually don't have a problem with walking out without shaking hands. The double standards that would be applied if it was LeBron/LA doing this, though, I do have a problem with.

Lmao dude I don’t care about LeBron winning. He obviously earned and deserved it. I care about HOW these multimillionaire children conduct themselves. I care about how people conduct themselves in general. In this last series alone, the Lakers shown that they could neither win (the Lakers bench/Dwight Howard was RIDICULOUS)or lose(LeBron/AD walking off after ONE loss) with class. Doesn’t mean they won’t go down with that ring next to their name, and it doesn’t mean that I really care. Go be all you can be keyboard warrior! No skin off my back

I agree that if Lebron or Durant did this the internet would explode , yet if guys like Butler Harden Giannis Kawhi do this - we accept it and move on.

This kind of stuff has never bothered me. I remember people also making a big deal of Manning not shaking the Saints hands or Brady not shaking the Eagles hands too.

I don’t think walking off after losing your shot at your childhood dream in the Finals is as egregious as LeBron’s narcissism and victim mentality as it relates to and impacts his behavior on the court since moving to LA. We will have to agree to disagree.

It was done when Jimmy got outplayed by Rondo tonight in a must win game, after all the crap he talked. Way to back up that talk Jimmy
if you dont think Jimmy backed up that talk, then i dont know what else to tell you. He did great this post season and a lot of people changed their opinion of him, great guy, never complains like the whole laker team. We are proud of our whole team despite all this garbage narrative you are spewing. Better to be authentic than hypocrite, we did not stay because we dont like Lebron as a person, there is not respect we should offer him at all, he was again carried to a championship just as we carried him in Miami, we were champions before the laughing stock of the NBA was getting spanked by Boston year after year, the way i see it we made him a Champion instead of the other way around. Do you think his charade and mocking every time he made a jumper with the game already out of hand sat well with our players, i am glad they just walked out, there is not respect as a person you should pay to this clown. Carry on
Can I get those fries with extra salt please?

Re: No one on the Heat shook hands with the Lakers other than UD
I wouldn't have shook hands with them either. AD didnt deserve to play game 6 for his trash behavior. unfortunately the NBA's dream matchup is the Lakers vs the Lakers.
