    Re: David stern fines Lebron James 25K for conduct after game

    We are in the NBA finals..and all that is being talked about is Lebron James. Dude is out of the playoffs, leave him the hell alone.

    Gundy was right, we beat the Cavs, and all the media can talk about is how Lebron James re-acted.

        I think LeBron was wrong for what he did. He's the leader of that team and as the leader of the team he should have been front and center to explain why the Cavaliers came up short in the playoffs. Even though he played a phenomenal individual series he shouldn't have left that for his teammates to deal with the loss. Furthermore, it showed a lack of respect to the series Dwight Howard had. As a professional he should have congratulated Howard for a job well done.

        That said; enough is enough. James is hardly the first athlete to do that. The Piston Bad Boys of the late 1980s and early 1990s didn't show a lot of interest in congratulating the Chicago Bulls on getting over the mountaintop at their expense. Brett Favre didn't show a lot of interest in shaking Chad Pennington's hand for a job well done in the season finale at the Meadowlands in 2008. Pennington beat the team that released him in August for Favre. Instead of shaking hands Favre just ran off into the tunnel after the game. Bill Belichick gives the most famous poor handshake in football, especially if he is losing to his favorite assistant at the other end of that handshake.
        If I would have been LeBron James I would have shook Dwight Howard's hand. But I don't have the competitive fire he has. I can't imagine working as hard at something as he has worked at basketball. I can't imagine the disappointment that comes with losing a series like that and letting an entire city down after a 65-win season. I can't imagine the world expecting me to lead a team to the NBA title only to be blown out. I can't imagine being proclaimed "The King" at age 18 years old in a sport where Bill Russell and Michael Jordan already set the bar. So I can’t say that in the same situation I wouldn’t have done the same thing.
        very good read.

            Amazingly funny. Stern fines him and Lebron gets yet ANOTHER NEW commercial even AFTER he's out the playoffs. And, to make it even more crazy, it's about him not even being in the playoffs. LMAO

              But that's all Nike's doing, doesn't have anything to do with Stern or the NBA.

              I think that commercial is hilarious btw, I wonder if Nike had to get LBJ's approval to make/air it.

                The way the NBA has butchered the playoffs this year, I wouldn't be surprised if this was either PR from Stern or he just loaned LeBron the money himself to give back to the league.

                  If by approval you mean Lebron waiting for the check to clear then yeah they got his approval

                    Should have given him a pocket dictionary as a door prize so he can look up the definition of sportsmanship.

                    Fine if you don't want to shake hands, it makes you look like a poor sport. But I was OK with him until the next day he starts rambling how its not bad sportsmanship. Just keep your mouth shut and don't accept any of the accolades either when you win.
