“It’s hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them,” he said. “I’m a winner. It’s not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them. That doesn’t make sense to me. I’m a competitor. That’s what I do. It doesn’t make sense for me to go over and shake somebody’s hand.” --Lebron James(Yahoo! Sports)

So, it didn't make sense to him when he congratulated the Celtics after they beating him last year? Yeah, right. :roll:

Cavs fans must appreciate the fact that he wore his Yankees cap during his press conference too. I'm guessing Danny Ferry and the rest of the Cavs front office weren't able to sleep for the past couple of days. :lol:

The idea seems dumb at first, but they should trade em now.
There seems to be a pretty good chance he's gone after next season anyway, so beat em to the punch. Just imagine the package they could get for the guy, pretty much pick whoever they want, plus their best teammate, lol.

Yeah, that whole winner explanation was just a bunch of BS. I think the real explanation is that he knew the Celtics were the better team last season and he was probably content that they took us to Game 7. On the flip side, he couldn't believe that his team was owned by the Magic. In other words, he respected the Celtics last year much more than the Magic this year.

To be honest, I'm shocked at how easily the Magic dispatched them, especially given how the Magic had choked away some big leads against us. I'm not convinced that the Magic somehow got mentally tough after playing us, and I fear that they will choke away one or two games against the Lakers. Another thing the Cavs - Magic series made me appreciate more is Kendrick Perkins. Shots that Howard was making against them he was not making when guarded by Perk. Perk was doing a much better job keeping him further away from the basket and basically reducing the chance of making those hook shots.

I thought he snubbed the C's last year too?

I think the reason he snubbed the Magic is because he had a poor game. If he had 30+ points he would have faced the music, because people would have said he did all he could, but his teammates let him down. But he sucked big time and he didn't' want to face the music.

So that's what Lebron's game looks like when he doesn't get all the calls. :lol:

You act like a man and manup. It's what you do. It's not LeBron hate....it's common sense and respect for the sport and the other guys playing it. What you have is LeBron manlove and it's blinding you.

What's with the manlove bull? **** the manlove. It's not no damn manlove..and if I have manlove, than you have manhate.. :roll:

LeBron is nasty..everybody here knows it...like they say, 'if you weren't great they wouldn't hate'..I don't see anybody making posts about Wally or Gibson walking out..It's all LeBron this, LeBron that..most of you didn't want him winning a title, so that the press wouldn't talk about him 24/7..yet on our own damn board people can't seem to forget the guy making post after post about him.
And I don't know if you ever lost to somebody, but when I lose I want to just kill them. Wether it's in basketball or tic tac toe losing sucks, and I can imagine how much it sucked for him..playing out of his mind, being the best and still losing. Plus.. Is there some kind of rule that states you have to congratulate teams after they beat your ass? No...so LeBron didn't do anything wrong...he has the right to just bounce whenever he wants to, if he wants to...
